I can’t recall any news outlet covering all or even many of Obama’s campaign rallies for House, Senate or even his own candidacy in full. If @CillizzaCNN and others want to make an argument that Trump is just unique, they certainly are welcome to...
Sorry, Chris. Give me one example of a political rally for a House election with Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama that you covered in its entirety. One! You should not be an apologist for shameful behavior not justified by calling it “news.” It is wrong. An excerpt? Fine. Not this.https://twitter.com/cillizzacnn/status/972960563952308224 …

...but saying “it’s because he’s the president” belies the known history. People can make an argument that Trump is so unique the extra airtime is justified, but that’s not the argument people are making. Why not just do so?
-
Because they’d have to acknowledge that ratings is their prime concern and not some high-minded mission like informing the public.

@ConorLambPA should get solid hour on TV to explain how awful GOP policies are. Media really should be obligated to keep coverage balanced insofar as time is concerned. 99% of Trump speeches are just lies and bragging. An insult to our intelligence & unfair political advantage -
Drives me nuts. GOP makes claim that their latest bill will cure world hunger, end disease, and eliminate unemployment. Media dutifully reports without any context. Dems point out it’s 100% bullshit, media will maybe refer to bill as “contested”

Seriously,
@CNN should be obligated to prove they did this kind of blanket live coverage for Obama or Bush congressional campaign events or admit they treat Trump differently and explain exactly why We know why, but "he's the president" isn't it#ProveIthttps://twitter.com/NormOrnstein/status/972961911166914560 … -
Need to make this personal. Who is the human being in charge of this at CNN? Time to make all Americans who enable Trump and facilitate destruction of our Democracy accountable and our if the shadows of corporate excuses absolution.

Any news outlet that covers these rallies is sacrificing journalistic integrity for ratings.

Just as Trump said they would

...Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama didn’t have rallies after they were elected. They made campaign stop for candidates of their party. But no lying, name calling rallies.
-
And no live wall-to-wall coverage like this. This is like covering a train wreck. People are fascinated. Networks want eyeballs. Shame!

Norm Ornstein is completely right. CNN and MSNBC are enablers. They are bashed by Trump but ultimately they cover every event.
-
I hate to say this but it seems Trump is the best thing that happened to MSNBC. All of their shows are way up in ratings. Rachael has # 1 ratings. That wasn’t the case when Obama was President. If it’s all about ratings, Trump is a magnet for our derision and thus higher ratings.
-
And it's becoming torture to watch. The constant TrumpRussiaPutinTrumpInvestigation is mind-numbing. It obliterates the many other issues and stories.

You don’t have to only get Trump “news”. He certainly sucks up most of the oxygen but not all of it. Why get your info off tv? Read.
-
Luckily I do read various sources. Mostly online. But I like some personalities now and their general take. Occasionally, there are exchanges among the guests that are truly eye-opening.

You are right. Pres. Obama came to Ohio for my congressional races. Do not recall coverage like Trump gets.
