They are giving this 2020 CAMPAIGN EVENT free airtime instead of just reporting it to be the propaganda it is. It is fucking disgusting. This free air time should be reported as an in-kind contribution to the Trump 2020 Campaign, which now already exists.

This isn't tit for tat by the way. The news folks need to remain professional in the face of this farce.

What is pretty surprising is that people would think they wouldn't cover it. What this rally has that his others have not is a good amount of PROTESTORS...whom the media is also showing.

A bullied kid who keeps trying to get Biff Tannen to like them.

He treats them like shit and calls them America's biggest enemy.

TURN THE FUCKING CAMERAS OFF. Stop photographing him. Do the real work of reporting. Stop letting him frame the narrative.

Their wall to wall coverage of him during the election is a big part of how we got here. They need to stop.
