Yes, they talk about events of the day, but it is ALWAYS done through the prism of an "expert," analyst or pundit. They have 24/7 of airtime to fill when not running commercials. They never just stick to the who, what, when and why and then move on. It all has to disected for angles (real and imagined), "exclusives," reading the tea leaves (contemplating what MIGHT be done next) or straight-up propaganda. They pick and choose what they want to cover and decide what is newsworthy. In this environment, that is supressing bad news for Trump and amplifying propaganda.
