Hello Aaron,
Each day Trump gives an update on all things Coronavirus. I don't have
cable
anymore, so I don't get to watch this update.
It's just a campaign event.
It gets broadcast on network TV, a little.
Trump cannot do his rallies any more due to the coronavirus epidemic.
So he is using his daily press briefings as his means of campaigning.
After all, this is an election year, and he is a candidate for prez.
ABC takes credit for being the carrier that broadcasts it in my area. But they only broadcast the first few minutes of it, then they cut to some terrible reporter(s) who add a quick piece of opinion, and then it's back to your regularly scheduled program.
NBC and CNN are using the same approach. Unless the president has
something truly important to say, they tune him out after the first
minute or two, returning to regular programming.
All those times Obama was on TV for cute things like giving the medal of honor to segregationists, and I had to miss my shows for such nonsense, I don't remember it ever getting rudely interrupted.
Regular programming was never interrupted unless the president had
something truly important to say. In the Trump era, the networks
could find nothing (or very little) the president says or is saying
as being important.
What's with that? ABC News doesn't want us to take our president
seriously?
Why should they?
If they don't take the president seriously, do they take Congress
seriously?
How about the Supreme Court?
Why should anybody believe anything a pathological liar says or
has to say? When the president continually lies to the American
people about virtually everything, everybody tunes him out.
ABC News is making the decision for us that it hurts to hear more than 5 minutes of the president. That sucks!
It is not just ABC News that has tuned him out.
Because he actually _IS_ the president, and I want to hear what he's got
to
say.
Why?
He don't have to do daily briefings for us, but he does them, and when I listen to him, I feel better about the whole situation because he's an optimist.
Listening to what a pathological liar has to say is not my cup of tea.
Nor does it seem to be most anybody else's cup of tea. Since most
people do not wish to listen to a single word he says, why should they
be forced to watch what they do not want to watch?
My state governor gives daily briefings too, but his don't get
interrupted;
they'll go as far as to show him walking out of the room at the end, giggling about hilarious democrat stuff I suppose. I don't get those
jokes,
unfortunately.
People watch what they want to watch. Otherwise, they tune out
by changing the channel. ABC, NBC, CNN, etc., have all tuned out
Trump's campaign events (daily briefings) as people want to watch
something else. It really is that simple.
