"A Primetime Address To Repeat His Lies"

Here's Seth Meyers on the "self- inflicted crisis" brought upon us by an "incompetent and unhinged" Donald "Rump" Trump over his manhood wall fence beaded curtain, and on Rump's speech tonight, which all the networks will cravenly carry.  The same quivering networks refused to carry an address by President Obama on immigration in 2014.  (In response, Speaker Pelosi and Minority Leader Schumer issued a statement, which read in part: “Now that the television networks have decided to air the President’s address, which if his past statements are any indication will be full of malice and misinformation, Democrats must immediately be given equal airtime." As of this morning, the networks are mulling their options over how the address and any rebuttal might be handled.)



BONUS: Some networks appear willing to let Dems rebut Rump, but Norman Ornstein's observation still holds:

Here is the brutal reality: because Barack Obama did not disparage, degrade or threaten TV networks, or call them the enemy of the people, they were perfectly content to deny him airtime for his immigration address. Because Trump did all of those things, they were intimidated. Oy
