"The media should not air Trump's propaganda pressers live. It doesn't matter if they critique with chyrons. Would you applaud a Hitler rally being aired live in his era? Mussolini? Milosevic? Or would you see it as profoundly dangerous?" — @gaslitnation https://t.co/VCTcnQGOfO

Restating: If I ran a newsoom I would not run his briefings live. I would not send reporters so he can waste our time and use them as hate objects. I would tell them to watch it on CSPAN and report any news that emerges. If he makes a factual claim it has to be verified or no go.

No one wants you to stop the conferences, because each one of them provides material for new ads against you. The issue is whether your falsehoods should be carried *live* without correction. https://t.co/3hhNsb5FMw

The New York Times stopped running Trump's coronavirus briefings live on https://t.co/VKIPNo0zt8 when it saw that they were like campaign rallies, and other tales of briefing madness: https://t.co/59FNfF3UxM

BREAKING: MSNBC cut away from a lot of Trump’s coronavirus press conference. They are now only airing when doctors speak. #StopAiringTrump

The briefings are nothing but campaign rallies. Stop airing them.
