“This Has Been Going On And On”: CNN Cuts Away From Donald Trump Press Conference As Former President Makes Marathon Opening Statement — Update - SDF Chatter

> Fox News stayed with the remarks and the press conference. CNN carried the initial 30 minutes of remarks, cut away and then returned when Trump started to take reporters’ questions. The network cut away again about about a half an hour. MSNBC skipped the press conference altogether. Good job, MSNBC. Shut him out.

My understanding is that for the first 30 minutes, he stayed hard on his script, with a finger on the text to keep his place. Then he went completely off the rails.

It speaks well of networks who did not broadcast fascist propaganda.

I’m genuinely surprised he stayed on script for 30 minutes. That’s about 25 minutes longer than he usually manages.

Well you have to remember, if you lose his election, he’s going to prison.

I’m sure he’s afraid of that, but I’d be amazed IG of actually happened.
