Given the President's propensity of lying, and misrepresenting facts (imagine that), CNN has stopped broadcasting the Presidents presentation. They begin broadcasting when the experts come on.
Lets here it for responsible journalism. They recognize that misrepresrnted journalism is dangerous. Especially after yesterday when Trump was freely giving out medical advice which was completely wrong and dangerous.
NPR realized the danger last week and quit broadcasting the Task Force Press Meeting altogether. The common argument that it is important for the country to hear what the President has to say at anytime he speaks to the public. This is a false premise. False imformation and lies are not exceptable just because of he is the President. Respect the Office, but you do not have to respect the person holding the Office at this time.
Well put. One of my favorite podcasts and programs is On The Media

They were recently discussing the dropping of trump’s comments from these presentations as well. Glad to find it’s happened! And no, his credibility is long gone -- and we owe him nothing.
I enjoy On The Media program.
That is a brilliant and responsible journalistic decision. The last thing people need at the moment is bumbling disinformation.
