#2 Meh... go ahead. They are getting Monday night football type ratings.

Stop it and you lose money. Fox News will show it anyway.

So lose-lose for you fucktards.

#3 Tough for them to black them out when he does them at 6:30 PM Eastern during the nightly broadcasts, isn't it? That's some funny shit right there.

#4 Let's be fair about this. Show the full 90-minute Trump briefing, and then show Joe giving a 90-minute counter-briefing.

#11 Some light: Seattle Police Officers Rebuke Local NPR’s Decision To Stop Airing White House Coronavirus Briefings

"The Seattle Police Officers Guild criticized Thursday night the recent decision of the local National Public Radio station’s decision to stop broadcasting the daily White House coronavirus task force briefings.

'In light of the recent decisions made by a public news affiliate, SPOG will be live streaming all the White House’s press COVID-19 briefings on our social media channels,” SPOG president Mike Solan said in a statement. 'This is not a time to play partisan politics. Seattle community members deserve the most up to date information during this crisis; this includes life saving medical information from our nation’s Surgeon General and top doctors.'"
