When Trump demands free air time for a speech, the networks should insist it be submitted on tape
so they can review it beforehand to determine whether it's news or propaganda. Then they can determine exactly how it should be presented.
What he did was beyond reprehensible. He abused the power of his office to essentially force the networks to broadcast a free campaign speech.
Other than a nuclear attack, nothing is so urgent it has to be presented live. Hell, even the local stations have car chases on time-delay in case the suspect does something unexpected. This happened in L.A. after a man sitting on the rail of a freeway overpass blew his head off with a shotgun while all the newscopters were zoomed in as closely as possible on the action.

but there cannot be a single person that is surprised. What this dog has done to disgrace the office of the presidency is beyond reprehension. Hopefully some of the other members of his party will awaken and realize that what he has done to our country is more important than what he has done for their wallets and courts - but then again, I'm not counting on it.
