No Surprise Here! Nets Blast Speech, Refuse to Chide Dems
January 8th, 2019 11:00 PM
In perhaps the least surprising thing to happen thus far in 2019, President Donald Trump’s Tuesday night address was not well received by the broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC (and particularly the first and third ones).
