What we're REALLY up against! (Hillary Group)

All Three Major Cable Networks Ignore Clinton Speech To Air Entire Trump Press Conference

CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News networks all aired GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump's March 8 press conference live without interruption, while completely ignoring Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's speech which occurred at the same time.

Following the projected victories for Trump in the March 8 Mississippi and Michigan primaries, Trump held a press conference which, according to some media observers, was merely an extended "infomercial" for his line of products.

Although Clinton held a speech simultaneously to celebrate her victory in Mississippi, all three major cable news networks aired the Trump press conference without interruption. Media observers criticized the networks' decision, with some noting how "networks still don't have a cohesive answer for [why] ... they always carry Trump."

Hard to deny it. Trump keeps people glued to the broadcast, just waiting for the next horrible set of nouns and verbs to ooze out of his pie hole.

The thought of THAT guy setting up camp in the White House makes my stomach hurt. (((sigh)))

of alternate ways to go around it for the last 7 years and I'm sure Hillary will be doing to the same.

he is, and insulting the media who were present there, and he's rewarded with a full broadcast of his bullshit from start to finish. I was saying to my son and husband, "Trump has a lot of powerful friends in high positions in our media".

Hillary's speech had gone on for some time before they bothered to "listen in", and Bernie's was pretty much announced and awaited on as if the king of England was going to make his grand entrance.

This is a sign on how they're going to be when Hillary wins the presidency - just as they've been doing with President Obama. What we need to do is coordinate a massive write-in to tell them that they're biased and clearly favoring Trump (or any Republican because loser Cruz is on at this moment, giving his stupid speech since Carly Fiorina endorsed him) and discriminating against Democrats. It's the only way they'll change, albeit for a couple of days before they return to their "business model" of promoting Republicans.

I like your "massive write-in" message. I think it is past due.

Maine Democrat caucus was Sunday. I don't get cable, but I was at a restaurant on Sunday and they had on either MSNBC or CNN, I forget which, but it was 100% coverage of republican race. They didn't utter a word about the Democratic race. I wasn't expecting them to say much, because I realize Maine doesn't matter much to the rest of the country, but come on, we are a state.

They have proclaimed him as credible.

They are picking our candidates.

Bill Maher constantly reminds us: "Never underestimate the stupidity of the American people."
