Turn Him Off

I know a lot of us do but we need those media corporations to see their ratings go down when he comes on. He is a idiot, not a health official who we need to hear from.

We have our nurses wearing garbage bags, he is a bag full of garbage!!

Why do they have him on TV?????

peace of mind to watch real cartoons instead of watching the cartoon that stands in front of the podium.

https://www.nielsen.com/us/en/solutions/measurement/television/
To measure TV audiences and derive our viewing metrics (i.e., ratings, reach, frequency), we use proprietary electronic measuring devices and software to capture what content, network or station viewers are watching on each TV and digital devices in the homes of our Nielsen Families. In total, we measure hundreds of networks, hundreds of stations, thousands of programs and millions of viewers. In the U.S., electronic measuring devices and millions of cable/satellite boxes are used to provide local market-level viewing behaviors, enabling the media marketplace to gain a granular view of TV audiences.

actually killed people. He's giving bad advice (go to work) when in fact, this is the worst thing to do with this kind of a virus that is highly contagious (spreads very easily). The less chance that this virus has in traveling, it dies when it can't reproduce in a host (and then be spread).

I am so pleased that local news stations are choosing NOT to cover him!
Here in South Florida, other than one cbs affiliate, none of the other news stations are carrying his presser. Not even the local Fux affiliate WSVN.

No Trump. I only really have the TV on to have some background noise, but at least I don't have to be subjected to his bullshit and hideous face.
