There's a little button on your remote that takes care of that problem. Why did the networks cover it? Because, unfortunately, the droppings from SCROTUS' asshole-shaped mouth are news, and it's better to know what he's telling his zombies than to not know. It also helps to see that these days you could shoot a cannon through his venues without hitting anybody.

President Trump has already filed to run for the 2020 election, and readers and viewers should be sure to remind the media outlets that they should adjust their coverage of any Trump events accordingly. Make sure it's plain to even the casual consumer of news that their report is on (a) an official public appearance of the President of the United States; or (b) another pep rally with a hand-selected crowd cheering for candidate Trump as he jerks off for them again.
