MSNBC not planning to air Trump's July Fourth celebration live


By MICHAEL CALDERONE 07/02/2019 04:50 PM EDT Updated 07/02/2019 06:41 PM EDT


President Donald Trump’s takeover of the Fourth of July celebration at the National Mall won’t completely take over the cable airwaves.

MSNBC, for one, doesn’t plan to carry his “Salute to America” live, though the network will assess in real time whether to air clips of the event, a spokesperson told POLITICO.

Fox News is planning to cover “Salute to America” during a two-hour edition of “Special Report,” which airs from 6 to 8 p.m. And C-SPAN is planning to carry the event live, beginning at 6:15 p.m.

CNN representatives did not respond to requests for comment. The network is slated to air “The Situation Room” at 6 p.m. and a special report on the rise of white nationalism at 7 p.m., according to TV listings.

It's one of those things that's better live.

So I never watch this stuff regardless of who is in the Whitehouse.

But I definitely won't be watching this one.
