in Atlanta

1. Nice!!!! He isn't saying anything anyway

[walkingman]

2. Trump is without a doubt a blathering idiot.

[RKP5637]

3. It's nothing of value when he makes it all about himself and just blabbers on. n/t

[Cattledog]

4. ABC WSB-TV playing America's funniest home videos!

[C Moon]

25. :D

[D_Master81]

5. Why cover these every day?

If they want to show highlights of important stuff fine, but they air these for 2 hours live every day and it’s essentially the same thing over and over.

[SergeStorms]

29. While the virus has interrupted his ego stroking rallies....

he still insists on boring the hell out of everyone, and treating us all to his glorious visage, all the same. He never has anything truthful to tell Americans, and he certainly hasn't any compassion or empathy to share either. So why carry him each and every day when we could be watching something informational, like The Weather Channel?

[DENVERPOPS]

35. Exactly

Poor baby can't do his campaign rallies any more, soooo to reinforce the egomaniacs daily narcissistic needs, he goes on National TV as a substitute. He says a few bullshit claims of his about the Virus, then the rest of it is FREE political campaign shit broadcast through out the entire media, not just Fox News. He is always behind a desk or podium so we can't see his teenie little weenie hard on that he gets from self aggrandizing himself.......

[riversedge]

6. He is blaming Obama again. damn

[Sugarcoated]

9. And the only people who buy that

are his goose steppers. No other sane thinking human being believes his bullshit.

[Victor_c3]

15. That's what real leaders do, blame someone else for their failures

Apparently repubs think so.

How many times did Obama say the line “I take no responsibility”?

[customerserviceguy]

7. Been watching NBC

and cut over to CBS and ABC to see if their evening news program was on. No dice.

So, I went back to NBC, and in the information section about the program were the words "Little Big Shots". Yes, normally the 7:00 PM Sunday program, but seeing those words, right underneath the Dotard and Mother's Boy was amusing!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. I wish they wouldn't broadcast his shit shows live at all.

If they want, they could show clips on regular news shows - because they are news, though not in a good way - but I hate it that they're giving him air time just to feed his ego, which is hungering for the Nuremberg rallies he can't have.

[BGBD]

10. We would be better off

if we could get Trump into some kind of a "Reverse Truman Show." That would be where instead of in The Truman Show where he didn't know everyone was watching but they were, we need a situation where Trump thinks everyone is watching but they're not.

So, put in on stage with a bunch of cameras that aren't actually broadcasting to anything other than a closed circuit linkup to his televisions. Build a fake Twitter where he can see his own tweets and a bunch of automated replies but nobody else actually sees them. Basically put him in an endless house of mirrors and don't tell him.

Everyone would be better off if he wasn't seen or heard in public during this whole thing.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. Brilliant! . . . nt

[nature-lover]

21. Like it!

[mushroomhunter]

23. K&R

I love it

[Aussie105]

31. He already lives in that little universe.

Just reinforcing his sense of self worth. He is not talking to you or me, he is talking to himself.

You can help him by not watching, not listening, not reading.

Go do something useful. Go check your garden, or something.

[Karadeniz]

12. They should be stopped...networks can show the lowlights.

[Bev54]

30. I agree

they should never have shown it to begin with.

[Evolve Dammit]

13. Can't listen to either Orange Anus or the gravedigger. Get the urge to regurg.

[BumRushDaShow]

14. Our local CBS news radio affiliate here in Philly cut away

to play PA Governor Wolf's presser thankfully (I was streaming his address anyway but had the radio on too down low hoping they would cut over to Wolf and they did).

[MarianJack]

16. Good for them.

Donald Trump is an idiot and an ass hat.

RESIST!

[iluvtennis]

17. Good. I've watched everyday and there was nothing new. He spends 90 minutes+ each time

with the SSDD (same shit different day). Just come on and tell the American ppl the new developments and anything that has changed.

AND, Dr Fauci should be leading the pressers, not trump or pence.

[lpbk2713]

18. When you've seen one bullshit session you've seen em all.

Under the sun there is nothing new.

[BigmanPigman]

19. Rachel Maddow said no one should show his news pressers.

He makes things worse, what else in new.

[FightingIrish]

20. I won't watch another one.

One I realized I had been sucked into a virtual MAGA rally, I decided that watching him implode on live TV wasn’t worth it.

[orleans]

22. abc in chicago cut away

but nbc played it to the bitter end i think

don't know what cbs did.

[wishstar]

24. Wasn't good that it blocked out all the 6pm local news informing people of updates in their area

there are still many Americans who are not online and depend on the local evening broadcasts when there are emergencies going on and depend on the 6:00 local and 6:30 evening network news. My local ABC affiliate finally cutaway to begin the ABC evening news at about 6:35 when they realized he was not wrapping up and had nothing newsworthy to say.

[C Moon]

26. I never watch him speak. I turned on the tv a couple days ago, and he was going on and said,

"....Mexico. And that saved a lot of lives. A lot of lives."
Obviously talking about himself.

The only thing I noticed was how dehydrated he looked since last I saw him speak. He looked like Sponge Bob when he's out of the water.

[Canoe52]

27. He misses his campaign audience, so he's using the networks.

[SayItLoud]

28. These "briefings" have become his new version of his rallies. Filled with

lies and BS. CUT AWAY or better yet don't cover them at all.

[Aussie105]

32. Perhaps the networks could ask

for a copy of his speech before he gives it, examine it for anything new, then decide if it is worth airing or not?

By all means point your cameras at him. No need to turn them on.

Or if networks are desperate for news fillers, just record and trim out the word salad from any worthwhile bits?

Not much air space in a newsreader saying 'The President spoke for 2 hours today but didn't say anything new.'

[Ilsa]

33. CBS Atlanta has been showing the entirety of his

Daily noon-ish briefings. They let him drone on for 90 minutes. I hope they put an end to this.

[GoCubsGo]

34. Augusta, GA, too.

In fact, the local ABC affiliate didn't show it at all. They just carried local news. I don't think PBS showed it, either.

[LAS14]

36. How long did it last? We saw there was nothing...

... we wanted to watch on CNN and MSNBC while we ate supper, so we watched a Blue Bloods. When it was done Trump was STILL having his new conference. How long did it last?

[Freethinker65]

37. Democrats should demand equal time for a response
