Everyone is suddenly reporting what I’d already tooted/was already announced the other day, that #Trump will speak from #Florida on Tuesday after arraignment.
Dear The News:
Do not carry one word of this live. If he makes real news, report it afterwards, show clips if you must, but don’t play into his tiny hands yet again.
Who am I kidding? Sigh.

Via Sherrilyn Ifill:
How does he know it will be televised? Has a network agreed to carry it?
Peter Baker:
Trump announces that he will make a prime-time televised statement at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday after his arraignment.
@GottaLaff How do we know that it will actually be carried in Prime Time?
Long, exhausted sigh. Really, networks, you gonna go there? You are, aren't you. Too bad this isn't happening the day of the NCAA national championship when all eyes are elsewhere
@GottaLaff I fear that there’s no downside to them being seen/perceived as complicit.
The challenge for us is to make complicity consequences more costly than whatever sekrit complicit benefits they crave and earn.
Oh, how I wish they'd listen to you. He'll be flying high on all the attention he'll be getting. And it's not like he'll be saying anything true!
From the 'Southern White House'.
I'm not too concerned about the traditional broadcast networks interrupting regular programming for whatever he has to say; it's the cable newsers that would take the bait because they have to feed on eyeballs--not unlike Trump, when you think about it.
Yep ... and, regretfully, they'll keep televising his crap unless & until their ratings (and social media posts about it) cave dramatically.
I won't watch; you won't watch; but it's not enough if a smattering of people turn off & refuse to repost. It needs to be a landslide. So, it won't happen and they'll keep televising his shit. It's incredibly infuriating.
Wholeheartedly agree.
@GottaLaff Trump is like a gory car accident. Most can't help but stretch out their necks when they pass. News... at least mainstream media counts on that. It's 💲 💲 💲
We could affect him so much more by just ignoring him.
@GottaLaff I should have thought about the way I posted that better.
I didn't mean to imply to completely ignore him. Just give him no attention except the necessary news. But stopping the opinions and commentaries and news about his rallies would be helpful.
