Trump Praised At White House Black History Month Event, Networks SKIP
February is Black History Month, so it shouldn't be considered unreasonable for one to expect to see media coverage of President Trump's White House event on Wednesday.

With the passing of The Rev. Jesse Jackson comes the media coverage that would be expected for a man of his stature, complete with documentation of his history, analysis of achievements and tributes from those who knew him.

On CNN’s “Abby Phillip Gaslighting and Interruption Power Hour”, more commonly known as NewsNight, there was serious firefighting and journalisming underway.

PBS Skips Rubio's Munich Triumph to Bash 'Trump, Demolition Man'
Monday’s PBS News Hour virtually skipped over Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s performance at the annual Munich Security Conference to wail over his subsequent trip to endorse “far right prime minister” Viktor Orban of Hungary.
