One thing is that his positive poll numbers going up. Initially, I guess they thought the reporters could show him up and trap him with “gotcha” questions. It wasn’t working.

They want to be able to report their lies about what he says and what is going on —can’t do that so well when people have already seen it first hand.

It wasn’t even on CSPAN either. So I turned my TV off. Fox news has had 24 hr. coverage of PANDEMIC, and today, they didn’t have THE most important item-POTUS daily update. So I turned them off —again. I only started watching them cause they were covering his daily briefings.

Not rewarding them with any views, unless they cover POTUS.

Because the Presidents performance during the pressers have caused his approval numbers to go up 12 - 15 points (depending which poll you look at) so, the MSM is actively suppressing his pressers.
That said, there is Fox News, OANN, RSBN, etc...the MSM is not the only option.

Look at any poll... ANY poll, and you will never see 30-33% vote conservative.

1/3 of the population will always watch and support the left wing MSM.

The problem the networks have is that the viewers then go to Fox to watch it even if they are independents and not avidly partisan Dems. His press conferences are drawing 6 million viewers and Fox is pulling the business away from channels that are not showing it. CNN tried jettisoning them but they had to go back to covering them because they were losing viewers. The same will happen with the networks

Because the pandemic isn’t as bad and won’t last as long as they said. Also, Trump’s ratings have gone up and not down as they had planned.

Why watch the “Men Seeking Men” networks? I’ve given up on those morons since the Obola Obozo rear-kissing era.

In the days to come they will have to. Not doing so will loose all their viewers. ALL of them.

Just like when the Press was denouncing Mel Gibson’s “The Passion”, it had the reverse effect. More people went to see that movie because the brainwashers hated it and made it known. Which perked people’s interest.

The fact that Fox News is now the only news organization that
has continued to broadcast the daily covid-19 briefings, it’s going to drive people over the Fox who otherwise wouldn’t watch Fox and then perhaps they’re going to start hearing pragmatic thinkers for a change, or quite possibly the first time in their entire lives!

Perhaps.

Bunch of fready cats. They’re scared to show Trump speaking live, cause he might look good to the usual low info crowd that laps up whatever main stream media pumps out. So, by controlling the air waves (and cable waves), they edit/filter and put out whatever they can contrive to show Trump in the worst possible way. I know...we’re too stupid to figure out that’s what is happening.

"??? I watched it on ABC."

They only showed part of it. They cut off when Mike L started speaking. Yesterday they cut off after the UPS lady spoke. They don't show when reporters ask questions.

Meanwhile, they air everything about cuomo even though we can't hear the reporter's questions. They had him on twice today.
