CNN and MSNBC on many days repeatedly cut in and out of the daily White House briefings on the coronavirus pandemic, with CNN the most eager to replace remarks from President Trump, Vice President Pence or any number of medical and logistical experts with derisive commentary by its anchors and reporters. MSNBC carried a little more than CNN, but its anchors also weren’t hesitant to chime in with their condemnations of Trump’s remarks.
A Media Research Center study found that CNN has carried just 69 percent of the briefings’ runtime of those conducted March 30 through April 14. That’s 999 of 1,435 minutes, leaving seven hours and 16 minutes unaired. MSNBC has aired live 1,088 minutes, or 76 percent, not running five hours and forty-seven minutes. Thus, CNN and MSNBC viewers missed more than 13 hours of the briefings. (FNC cut out a few minutes early on two days, but otherwise has carried all the briefings in full, airing 1,383 minutes, about 96 percent of the total duration.)

bttt
No more Fauci or Birx, etc on CNN...
7 more hours than I watch CNN.
An uninformed voter is a Democrat voter.
Those stuck in airports are profoundly affected.
Nobody watches CNN in airports anymore.
It may be up on screens but 97% plus are looking at their smartphones.

Didn't think of that, of course you are right.
I just read whatever news may come out of them instead of watching them any more - got tired of watching reporters and the POTUS trying to yell over each other’s voices. It’s embarrassing to watch a president having to do that. The WH should exert some control over how these things are being done.
Ah well, any news that comes out of them anyways is found easily enough to read through.
Of course these days, 97% of the people aren’t in airports at all, LOL.
If they are not broadcasting the briefings? Why does Trump call on that puke in the front row? Except that he enjoys slapping him around.
Trump is getting monumental free campaign time from this.
It’s like manna from the heavens.
CNN doesn’t have one show in the top 20 cable ratings.
No one watches the Clown News Network.
Well who in their right minds would tune into CNN or MSNBC top see the briefings?
The dozen or so people who watch CNN are so riddled with TDS that they don’t care (or maybe don’t even know) if they miss anything. /s
Check my tagline.

My tagline agrees with you.
Better than mine :)
