A total and humiliating capitation to a president with no interest in the truth.

The news media is supposed to inform the public.

They are now being used to disseminate government propaganda.
REMEMBER: When Obama wanted to address the nation on immigration, the networks refused to air it because they believe it would be "overtly political."

What a joke.

The idea that a Democratic rebuttal or fact-checking will make this better is insulting.

If I break my arm and a doctor gives me a cast, I'm thankful.

If a doctor breaks my arm and hands me a band-aid, it's not a favor.

Any network that airs this live is knowingly participating in a disinformation campaign
Some conflicting info, but @JenniferJJacobs of Bloomberg says the networks will air this live

This show just how deeply the mainstream media misunderstands Trump and his tactics

@JenniferJJacobs This is what happened when Obama gave a primetime address on immigration in 2014

1. Can we talk about @redlobster?

Dozens of corporations stopped advertising on Tucker Carlson after he said immigrants made America "dirtier"

Now Carlson is arguing there's a moral responsibility to pay women less than men.

@redlobster is one of the few corps sticking w/him
@redlobster 2. The president of @redlobster is Salli Setta. She's on the board of the Women's Foodservice Forum (@WFFHQ).

@WFFHQ is dedicated to "galvanizing the Food Industry" to become "one of the first industries to close the gender gap"

Why is @redlobster sticking with Tucker Carlson?
3. Corporations like @redlobster want to develop a reputation for being socially conscious. Its president is devoted to gender equality. Kudos.

But the power of corporations comes from how they use their resources.
