CNN, MSNBC attempt to 'hide and censor' Trump campaign rallies: Report

Broadcasters continue to find new ways to compromise meaningful coverage of President Trump and his reelection campaign.

“Will CNN and MSNBC cover Donald Trump’s 2020 rallies in a way that allows the president to simply state his message to the American people? Or will they attempt to hide and censor him?” asked Scott Whitlock, associate editor of Newsbusters.org, a conservative press watchdog.

"If Saturday’s Trump rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma is any indicator, it seems likely the liberal outlets will choose the latter,” Mr. Whitlock wrote. “While Fox News played all 101 minutes — or 100% — of Trump’s campaign kickoff, CNN allowed a scant 3 minutes and 25 seconds (or 3.4 percent) and MSNBC a meager 3 minutes and 45 seconds (3.7 percent).”

In other words, the cable news networks essentially “buried” 97% of the rally, the analyst said, noting that CNN host Wolf Blitzer called Mr. Trump’s speech both “shameful” and “dangerous.” Both CNN and MSNBC also faulted the size of the crowd at the rally, and suggested it had a negative effect on the president.

How did they cover Obama or Hillary? Did they do three minutes and cut away? We shouldn’t expect special treatment for Trump

Obama and Clinton they covered all and then some.
CNN MSNBC should have their credentials ripped up since they are not a news org anymore, but merely a propaganda mouthpiece of the Democrat party and the radical left.

A massive audience watched Trumps rally on Mewsmax, Fox News, RSBN, FB, YouTube, and other outlets.

Biden’s last event had a couple show up and the number that watched his event then on Youtibe was paltry compared to the 1.4 million that watched Trump’s rally on YouTube.

Biden has little momentum, he has Astro Mo, propped up by Bloomberg cash and fake polls that oversample Dems, women, youth, and the college educated.

I wonder how long it took their spin doctors to come up with that?

Special treatment isn’t being expected.

Given the 2 or 3 present at Biden’s last even and the rest being empty chairs, CNN and MSNBC must also say that had a negative impact on Biden.

So some elderly pro-Trump people didn’t show up because of the coronavirus concerns? So what? Trump is still much loved by most of the country.

They know if he wins there will be plenty of anti-trust action against media monopolies and oligopolies (ATT, Comcast, etc.).

The fawning mainstream media propaganda should be treated as campaign donations and should be limited under campaign finance regulations.

Agreed

I hardly consider giving the President of the United States more than three minutes coverage “special treatment”.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

Did anyone notice - for past rallies, Trump begged the media to show the crowd. But they never did?

Only RSBN panned the crowd, never the Fake News media.

But this Tulsa rally, they were FIXATED on crowd shots.

God, I hate the media!

This will eventually happen to Fox News as Disney slowly tightens their grip.
