At the YouTube link, Vox’s Ezra Klein and CNN’s Brian Stelter discuss the growing consensus among the press that they will no longer cover Trump rallies as they aren't newsworthy.
YouTube: Consensus Grows In Meda To Stop Covering Trump's Rallies
If they really thought ignoring him would work, they would have done it during the campaign.
I remember. But they got ratings. ‘Course they also had a captive audience. My, how times have changed.
“Simple fix, if a network does not cover Trump rallies they lose their White House Press pass and the President will no longer take questions from their reporters at any event.”
Amen!
Exactly my initial reaction when I read the post.
I agree. I’ve been to two.
It's like the people in Iron Curtain countries, ignoring the propaganda. But there's a big difference: The American People are armed to the teeth and are not about to surrender America to Big Brother and his goons.
Our President has an unusual charisma about him. He is so real and commonplace in his views that, when seen by common folks, they cannot help but love to him.

Agreed. And part of Trump’s charm is that he is being attacked unfairly by the MSM, Mueller, the Dems, the EU, Japan, Mexico, etc.
Same goes for Melania. Now that the press is attacking her, her fans are even more loyal.
Ditto for Kanye West. Once he stands up to fight for Blacks “thinking for themselves” and calling Trump his “dragon energy” brother, he is widely attacked by Hollywood and the media.
Four weeks ago he releases an album, YE, that reaches number 1 on the Billboard charts.
America loves a persecuted winner. It’s the drama of our lives — the American Dream: “They said he could never do it, but through hard work and competence, he succeeded!”
Hold on one second. Are you telling me that a trade war discussion by Paul Gigot is lost on you? Incidentally, trade wars are the only wars globalists fear. They're fine with endless war in the Middle East, but they spin out of control if the price of aluminum ticks up a few bucks. What a bunch of cultists.
Excellent! So then this is a pretty accurate glance into the enemy's thinking...
CSPAN covers the rallies, too.
Ezra Klein is the enemy of the people.
No one's denying that.
So was Adolph Hitler. Yet people read "Mein Kamph" to understand the mindeset of the enemy.
See how that works?
Would it matter?
Their shrinking viewers means they don’t reach very many Americans as it is.
The President’s rallies are on YouTube for anyone to watch.
The President’s tweets make it around the world before “journalist” can twist them out of shape.
The President has a bully pulpit and knows how to use it, and that pulpit is NOT the mainstream media.
And last, would anybody notice or cared if the MSM stopped covering the rallies? No, they would not.
“He should only make major announcements during rallies then. Checkmate.”
One time is all it would take.
It makes sense for CNN and MSNBC. How much of their (already small) audience listens to a full Trump rally? I am sure they turn that off as quickly as I muted Obama’s voice. It shouldn’t matter to us, we are watching Fox who would continue broadcasting them.
Maybe they should occasionally do a split screen and pan the audience as Trump xuggests.
Yes it’s good to understand the mind of the enemy.
Truth is they are just prejudice anul orifices.
They will fail in this as they have have failed in all their Wile E. Coyote schemes. This would make these rallies ‘forbidden fruit.”
We have been in trade war for decades and fighting back for once. Paul Gigot has been a reliable Free Traitor™ globalist hack or has that leopard changed his stripes?
