CNN and MSNBC are not taking Trump live. Fox News and Newsmax, predictably, are.
Rachel Maddow: "There is a cost to us as a news organization knowingly broadcasting untrue things. We are here to bring you the news. It hurts our ability to do that if we live broadcast what we fully expect in advance to be a litany of lies and false accusations."
Anderson Cooper says CNN "will monitor the remarks" and bring viewers anything that might be newsworthy.

Notably, this is a departure from how the network handled Trump's post-NY arraignment speech. In that case, under former boss Chris Licht, CNN aired most of his remarks.

Still no explanation for this more than hour-long delay in opening statements at the Fox-Dominion trial. No one seems to have any idea what the reason for pause is.
We are approaching the two-hour mark of this unexplained delay in court.
CNN's @MarshallCohen observed a top Fox lawyer showing a piece of paper to a top Dominion lawyer. A few min later, they both stepped out of the courtroom into a private, secured area for court staff. Moments later, they walked back into court together. Unclear what was discussed.

"We aren't planning to pay the monthly fee for verification of our institutional Twitter accounts," a spokesperson tells me.
"We also will not reimburse reporters for the verification of personal accounts," The NYT spokesperson adds to me, "except in rare instances where verified status would be essential for reporting purposes."
The Los Angeles Times also says it will not pay for Twitter Blue, noting "verification no longer establishes authority or credibility."

Here's an internal note from managing editor Sara Yasin that went out to staff.
