Discussion: Fox Pundit Can't Stand That Cable Nets Didn't Air All Of Trump's Campaign Rally

I love that they did to Trump what they did to HRC last time around: a small box, inset in the lower right corner of the screen, with him speaking silently. YAY!

Hint: if you want positive and complete coverage from CNN, you might try discouraging the “CNN sucks” chants.

“It seems fundamentally unfair and raises questions how they’ll cover this entire campaign,” Kurtz said.


Trump is going to stage a Xerox of this same goddamn rally every week by the time the campaign heats up. What's Kurtz suggesting, every network gives Trump 90 minutes of prime time real estate every fricking week for the next 16 months?

I was just talking to some of my co-workers about Trump’s announcement. They told me that they hadn’t paid much attention to it except when CNN jumped out of the event after Trump encouraged the crowd to chant “CNN sucks.” I don’t know if what my co-workers told me is true or not, but they were happy that the media didn’t seem to want to enable the Trump show last night.

Maybe Kurtz is mad because CNN and MSNBC had big audiences of people who just couldn’t stand to watch another episode of the Trump show.

My co-workers are becoming a little frightened by Trump’s talk of a third term.

Why is it unfair? The fact that he officially launched his campaign may be newsworthy, but is the string of rehashed lies and threats actually newsworthy? He is aware that a huge majority of the viewers actually appreciated watching regular CNN and MSNBC content instead of a Trump rally, right?

I actually try to watch these things because I feel like it’s part of my civic duty. Last night was unwatchable for more than a few minutes at a time, really, really sickening.

As someone mentioned on MSMBC if you just turned on the TV you would think they were running a repeat of 2016 rallies. Nothing new at all

Monday, a white dude in Tennessee intentionally ran over and killed a pregnant young mother and her 2 year old son.He first struck and injured a 61 year old guy. This would be playing non stop on Fox (and elsewhere) if it was a Muslim driver.

We already know that Frump is a whinning little bitch. Now FOX is going to follow in his footsteps. Any network assaulted by Trump should ignore him. I can’t stand hearing his voice. It’s all lies.

If there ever was a guy who failed upwards over the years, its Howie Kurtz. What a dope that guy is. He doesn’t seem to know what his role is anymore. It used to be assessing media, which he was never very good at anyway. Now its just shilling for whoever he’s told to do so he can still get a paycheck. Pathetic schlub.

Any word on why this moron chose to run down a pregnant woman and her 2 year old. Apparently he didn’t know them.

They all should have played a repeat of The Family Feud with tRump rally boxed in the lower corner of the screen.

Howard Kurtz? Why is this thing still a thing?

Yeah, imagine that the “enemy of the people” have chosen not to air his bullshit. It’s not like we haven’t all heard that shit anyway for the last two and a half years. He’s been campaigning for 2020 since the week after he took office for shit’s sake. All that free airtime he got in the millions if not billions of dollars in 2016…uh, that ain’t gonna happen this time unless he shells out cold hard cash ahead of time and reserves his paid commercial slots I’m guessing.

Why bother airing more then the first 2 minutes.
Trump lies then he lies again then he lies again.
People who cannot read cheer.
Boring!

Isn’t TN a “no abortion, nohow, noway” state? Does that mean the indictment will involve the death of three persons?
