If you want to do something constructive give Trump's critics free air time afterward to rebut.

Someone get your answer to the networks.

Also, they can fact-check as he speaks, on the bottom of the screen make a count of his lies.

right after he bloviates...

Tell tv execs and advertisers you are tired of paying for a liar to have a national megaphone.

Trump's lies cause millions to suffer.

Turn them off.

Don't give it an uninterrupted channel for spewing.

(I don't know why I care - don't have t.v. for the last 10-15 years. Wasteland.)

Will still watch tv, to make the point, but won't watch him - never do, he's too sickening. When he's shut up, I'll turn on MSNBC & or CNN to see what happened, to see if our constitutional democracy is now in total crisis.

Not only is he a liar, he repeats himself over and again.

He is a moron. I am astounded at the assholes around me
that defend him. I have become home bond,

What's up with that?

This is for broadcast TV

You don't want to go down the road of deciding which address is worthwhile. Obviously they don't want it to become a weekly thing, but there is no reason to believe that right now.

Fact check live or fact check after.

on January 29th, 2019.

Screw his request for any other time.

It makes a lot of sense to me. But I don't want networks denying time to a Democratic president because they denied Trump time. That's what will happen.

TV execs always chase the money. Broadcasters even denied coverage of Obama for the Cuba announcement -- didn't interrupt the soap operas.

if the president calls the networks partisan, they can respond to *that* as well.
they're only "damned" either way if they allow themselves to be.

if, when the president calls them "partisan", they simply respond that they don't give unlimited airtime to flagrant, chronic, toxic liars regardless of party, then how are they "damned"?

Mr. TV Exec, I'd rather you be damned if you don't...…… no air time will really get under his skin. And I am ok with that.

Like Pop-Up Videos... an animated emoji would pop up (ka-doinnnggg) every time the Dumbass lies, with a banner proclaiming ‘He’s lying!” and a brief antidote of actual fact. After three lies, the feed would be cut.

Piss on the networks as they have pissed on us.

Piss on their advertisers, who care only about extracting more.

That is indeed a tough decision, boys.

No airtime for the congenital liar.

If he calls you partisan, so what? So you'd be "damned?" What the hell does that even mean?

Or give him the time but fact check him on everything he says. And give a prominent Democrat equal time to reply.

Grow up, you big babies. You get paid a lot of money to control what Americans see on TV. Please tell me you're not afraid of being called a name.

Put him on a 1 or 2 minute delay - and have three or four rotating teams of fact checkers ready to go with fact checking and they can post rebuttals "live" as Donny is spewing his BS.

RUMP would refuse it!! (but i say do it anyway)

but, the other networks might.

I thought it would be impossible to fact check him as he goes because it’d be like trying to describe in real time all the different kinds of chunks that come out in a violently ill person’s vomit, but your idea of a delay would be a big help.

tRump doesn't care about facts, he just lies all the time. Good idea though.

They should have a crawl at the bottom of the screen letting the viewers know that they only promote real news therefore they will be delivering a detailed fact check of his message immediately after.

Most of his ardents will change the channel once he's finished his little spout, except for those that watch fux. Or is that all of them?

And they don't read those funny squiggles (words) at the bottom of their screen-thing.

You know you're going to anyway.

We already have seen his hateful lying anti immigrant, anti Democrats commercial. Why support more of his Pravda by watching this.
If the MSM won't stop airing his lies & hate, our job as Americans is to press off.

Showing facts every time he lies ..

And give themselves a minute or so to prepare truth slides

"He'll call us partisan"

Really? Oh noes! How will you survive?

"We're damned if we do and damned if we don't"

No you aren't. Refusing to air the partisan screed of a habitual liar and disinformation agent doesn't damn you. Spreading his propaganda with some limp fact-checking after the damage is done -- that is what damns you.

But let's be honest, okay? The only "damnation" you're worried about is lost ratings. That's all you've ever cared about, nation be damned.

I don't see why they give in to his demands. He give these networks nothing and treats you like dirt anyways.

Knowing its propaganda for another PR stunt to promote false things, then claiming a false National emergency. Its not , and he knows it , and is why this shouldn't be aired , ever by any of them. If they do he'll just use them as a weapon against us.

He does not need a captive audience.

The OP appears to be tweets. Can twitter be used to push back against tv execs giving even more time to the serial liar? Start a tweetstorm or whatever it's called. NO to the liar.

Nielsen should pick that up that change in viewership...

"So we are damned if we do and damned if we don't" only means "we'll choose whatever makes us the most money."

Here's an idea: Broadcast it on a time delay and then pause it to show what the real facts are after each lie. Or, better yet, just superimpose "LYING" every time he lies. Don't worry about viewers getting the word permanently burned on their TV screens. They don't use phosphorous on modern TV screens.

On his ear with no multi million dollar pay off. Sexual harrassmeny.

He is fucking insane! Why would you give someone like this a platform? For once, behave responsibly!

lies start.

If I inadvertently stumble across a video of him, or if I'm watching a TV say in a motel room and he comes on, I immediately switch away.

I doubt I'd be willing to watch him give a leaving office speech.

Stop your whining and try doing your job - you know, try being a journalist instead of a teleprompter reader. Let hem speak and take him apart right afterwards. And no, we don't care how the pundits rate his speech at all. You TV news guys and gals are the reason we have this peeresident in the White House.

we need truth
I will not be watching... hate the sight of him and the sound of his voice

why not just report the facts. the both sides bs is part of the reason for this shit also .

Got more important things to do - like clean the toilet, cut my toenails....

That's when Rachel airs here. I never miss Rachel. I never listen to his lies its bad enough to listen to parts of it on the news.

BURY the networks with calls, emails, Twitter, whatever. Tell them that airing ANYTHING that allows that insane, fascist motherfucker to spew his hateful shit on network TV will result in a serious DROP in ratings!

They can report about it after the fact and after taking time to see if it's worth reporting.

And, as you say, other networks/outlets could report on it in the context of commentary, rather than hard news. Because it will be nothing but lies, as per 45’s default setting.

On edit: Or, if networks air it, they should give rebuttal time to another point of view, rather than the “Big Brother” treatment.

Which, I assume, is a good thing on twitter.

If it costs them money, they will think twice the next time.

Having a good Democratic response would be the next best thing to not having twitler aired at all.
