Trump brought slides -- only one TV network showed them

[demmiblue]

The White House wanted tonight’s prime time address to double as a PowerPoint presentation to the American people, with slide after slide promoting President Donald Trump’s first-year accomplishments.

Trump’s communications team shared a set of slides with the major TV networks ahead of time and encouraged the networks to show them on screen, according to three news executives who spoke on condition of anonymity.

None of the big three broadcast networks opted to go with the slideshow. CNN did not show the slides either. One of the reasons: The graphs did not come with clear sourcing information, the sources said.

Fox News did show a handful of the slides during the speech, however, while Trump was shown in a smaller box on screen.

1. Glad to see MSM didn't cooperate.

2. I watched on PBS

While their anchors were non-partisan, they did not show the slides.

Besides, they would only amplify Trump’s lies.
