We need a better media.
Fuck you MSNBC and CNN.
No chyron to correct 30 minutes of lies?
Thanks for nothing.

His exact quote during the press gaggle on the way to Marine One June 11, 2019

"Now, look, Nancy is a mess. The Democratic Party is a mess. They're doing everything they can to win the election in 2020. They are guilty of many crimes. Many, many crimes -- what they've done. They're guilty of many, many crimes. And hopefully, in a short period of time, that'll be seen. They should never have done what they've done."

No follow up questions on this. The next one was about Mexico, which had already been talked about by Trump.

I think that those channels, as well as Fox, get between 10 and 30 million viewers, which is about 10% to 20% of people who watch news/television. Many more people watch the evening news broadcasts on the 3 legacy stations.

That said, the cable model of 24 hour news cycle outlived its usefulness before it even started.
