Networks Ignore Trump Florida Rally As He Brags About The Number of Cameras Present


Every network but Fox News refused to cover his Florida rally, but Trump is so detached from reality that he thinks that the TV networks can’t get enough of him.

Video @ link (but why bother?):

Trump said, “Fake news. Fake news. They are fake. Do you believe — look at this, every night it’s the same thing. Wouldn’t you think they would get tired of the speeches? Wouldn’t you think? And here’s one thing I will tell you. If they don’t get ratings, those speeches don’t go on, doesn’t matter. Look how many they have back there. They just can’t get enough. They can’t get enough. They cannot get enough.”

It is important to point out that the television networks have had more than enough of Trump’s rallies. Every network with the exception of Fox News, no longer covers his rallies live. The percentage of live coverage that Trump’s rallies have been getting has been steadily decreasing, as there has been a growing consensus among journalists and newsrooms that the president’s rallies aren’t newsworthy.

Trump said it best himself. It is the same thing every night, which is why the networks outside of state-run TV Fox News have stopped broadcasting them. Trump’s rallies are the same greatest hits package of fake news, build the wall, lies about Democrats, immigrant bashing, and attacks related to the Russia investigation that everyone has heard one hundred times or more.

Donald Trump has nothing new to say. His rallies are extended ranting sessions that are never newsworthy in their entirety. Networks monitor Trump’s rallies in case he says something worth reporting, but Trump’s claim that the television networks can’t enough is another delusion from the mind of a man who has never really left the 2016 election behind.

1. So glad to hear.

Finally it looks like they are beginning to stop playing his game.

[Squinch]

2. Curious about attendance. An earlier story said "hundreds" were in line.

[peekaloo]

10. Quite a few people camped out overnight.

For real.

That building can hold upwards of 10,000.

Local news showed a very long line to get in.

[Squinch]

11. Crap. I can't wait for the day when its an empty auditorium with

25 old guys scooting around on their mobility scooters to make the place look crowded.

[peekaloo]

12. LOL

Lots of them were from outside of Tampa, too.

[Volaris]

20. They needed an excuse to go to the beach?

[reACTIONary]

19. I don't know anything about this particular event . ..

.... but with the security screening that has to be done, there is always going to be a long line for any presidential egent.

[Pacifist Patriot]

26. I'll camp out for his perp walk.

[donco]

3. Seen one

seen em all.

[Afromania]

4. Alright, about 24 months too late..

[iluvtennis]

[peekaloo]

5. The crowd was razzing Jim Acosta earlier.

"CNN sucks" as the cretins began repeatin'.

per local tee vee media

6. What a petty and pathetic little man.

Are we great again yet?

[gratuitous]

22. I don't call him Needy Amin for nothing

Looks like the popular media have decided to finally and at last quit covering this garbanzo live. If something newsworthy happens, report it later with the tape. If nothing happens - and it always does - spend time covering some real news.

[Cha]

7. I say Fraud doesn't "think" it.. I say he's LYING &

GASLIGHING his stupid base.

[Grassy Knoll]

8. Ground Hog Day

[a kennedy]

Was so happy only faux noise, and faux noise business carried the slop.

[No Vested Interest]

13. Trump Fatigue.... I've got it big time, and I've ignored him as much as possible

from Day One.

[BigmanPigman]

14. Hallelujah! Amen! Thank God!

...and I am an atheist!

About 6 months ago MSNBC and CNN showed his rallies to support his nut job, Far Right, Christian candidates in special elections non-stop. I was IRATE...I will never forgive them for giving this Fucking Moron free, unending air time during the 2016 elections while they gave Hillary a nano second to discuss her policies. For ratings and $$$$$ they all showed an empty stage and podium waiting for their ratings GOD to appear on stage. They are as guilty of the destruction of our country as much as Facebook's Fuckerberg and Putin and the Corporate GOP. I posted on DU the phone numbers to call and complain. I don't know how many did but they are not showing his personal shitshow tonight so that is a small plus.

[smirkymonkey]

15. You are such a major fucking BORE!

Nobody wants to see you or listen to you anymore except for your tiny, pathetic, stupid base. They are a minority. You are hated by far more many people than you are adored by. Your base is eroding daily and you are too stupid and arrogant to even notice. I can't wait to see you behind bars.

[George II]

16. Not that I was looking for it, but I thought it was eerie that CNN and MSNBC didn't cover it.

If either did, at least I would have had the fall-back of Big Bang Theory.

[SammyWinstonJack]

17. WTF is he babbling about? What speeches? I think I hate his Deplorables worse than I hate him.

[TeamPooka]

18. I change the channel anytime they go to him speaking live, at a rally or the white house, whatever.

as do so many it seems.
glad it's having an effect
TCM is my go to channel

[No Vested Interest]

23. +1. I go to the Weather Channel a lot.

I've learned a lot about towing wrecks in British Columbia, surviving snake bites or being lost in the desert, and devastating tornadoes.

[yortsed snacilbuper]

24. Did any hot chicks show up?

[LiberalLovinLug]

25. And she uses a Thomas Jefferson quote of all things

Describing the fears of everyone BUT Trump Humpers
