Early Thursday morning, President Trump teased a big announcement that would be made at his campaign rally in West Virginia later in the day. Like many things in Washington lately, the announcement leaked early and it was one liberals couldn’t stand: Jim Justice, the governor of the state, was changing his party affiliation from Democrat to Republican.
It’s rare for sitting governors to change their party affiliation, but that didn’t matter to ABC’s World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News who ignored the news altogether.
CBS was the only network in the Big Three to give the story any time. But during CBS Evening News, Anchor Anthony Mason down played the development with a mere 13-second-long news brief:

I am venturing out on the skinny branches here, and I am saying that if it was a R governor switching to a D, then it would a huge announcement for the next month by the msm.
But a D governor switching to a R, well.., crickets..
The thing is, you can never trust a traitor
This is a form of #FAKENEWS.
Distortions, deception, ignoring important news that does not fit the propaganda, and not telling the masses.

So, what was more important to ABC and NBC?
From the article:
“[ABC] dedicate 17 seconds to a list of the most stolen car models in America”
“[NBC] 30 seconds reporting on a Boeing test flight that drew an outline of the plane in the sky”
Of course. it doesn’t fit the narrative.
Besides, if the facts contradict the narrative, then the facts lie.
I bet if Charlie Baker switched to the Democratic Party, they would not have ignored it.
The networks are propaganda machines, News is not their thing anymore .. unless they made the story up.
Gov. Justice is a businessman who has switched parties a few times.
Sound like someone else?
“...But a D governor switching to a R, well..., crickets...”
The Progressive press, AKA/Politburo/Pravda/Izvestia, will always report “real news”.
/SARC/
IMHO
George Soros isn’t paying American news people to put out stories detrimental to his people!
No skinny branches at all. Had it been a Republican governor going Left the banner would read “Trump Presidency in Free-Fall!!!”
“The thing is, you can never trust a traitor”
Reagan did it, although not while holding any political office.

The Ministry of Propaganda does as much damage by what they refuse to cover as they do with the spin they put on what they do cover.
Exactly right, this is a self-serving politician who saw Trump carry his state by 20 points and realized there was no future for Democrats in WV.
The Democrat party has declared war on their livelihoods and way of life.
And people are actually surprised that the MSM socialist-democrat propagandists are actively ignoring this?
ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, WAPO, NYT, and virtually all of the TV and print media are a wholly owned subsidiary of the socialist-democrat DNC party.
Even FOX is a toss up between globalist RINOs and socialist-democrats.
I bet if McCain switched to the democratic party, they’d.....
Oh....wait....
“Even FOX is a toss up between globalist RINOs and socialist-democrats.”
Especially the team that does the Chyron always, always
the Rats talkng points. This is important because it means the Rats spread the BS out to the many institutions the run FNC with the sound muted. The FNC Chyron is every bit as bad as CNN.
Did you expect real news?
He isn’t a traitor. He was working on legislation in his state and Democrats let him down at the end. Like Reagan, they left him.
