So Trump lied about networks covering him Tuesday night

Maggie Haberman @maggieNYT 18m18 minutes ago
The networks are weighing options, including giving a response to Dems. But they have NOT agreed to this yet, despite POTUS claiming so.




Simon Maloy @SimonMaloy 21m21 minutes ago
the fact that the WH is *already lying about the speech* feels like a compelling case to end deliberations about whether to carry the speech


**update**

Jennifer Jacobs @JenniferJJacobs
Deleted a tweet. To clarify: SOME networks have agreed to air Trump's prime time Oval Office address.

Any chanel that's not carrying him so their share goes up and the network share goes down. I'm just one person, but if a bunch do this, it could get noticed.

Glad to hear others react the same way. There is only one effective treatment.

Avoid hearing that SOB at all costs. Can’t chance the hives I get at the first sound of his wretched voice, much less hearing a whole speech/word salad from him.

Hey all! You don't even need Amazon prime to watch streaming movies on your computer. They have an amazing selection and you just pay whatever the cost of the film is (usually $2.99 or $3.99 just like going to a film rental store). You can also watch some great newly released films for only $5.99. I just saw "Colette" the other night w/ Keira Knightly and Dominic West.

If you do have Prime, there are a number of movies you can watch for free, but if not you still have access to everything anyway. Just type in the name of the movie you want to watch and if it is available via streaming and you have an Amazon account (or you can just use a credit card for films) you can watch instantly.

Blow up your television. If you can't tell the difference between a lie and the truth you shouldn't be in charge of anything, not even yourself. Go outside and start digging your own grave. Your life is over.
