Trump’s White House Coronavirus Briefings Are Drawing Huge Must-See TV Ratings

The reason the MSM wants to stop covering the briefings.

If you’ve been watching Trump’s White House Task Force briefings you would know how entertaining they are to watch. It’s an art form, a high-wire act of Covid-19 updates mixed in with deadpan comedy and babbling absurdity. It really is fascinating counter-programming to the usual doom and gloom coverage we are getting of the Coronavirus.
Monday’s briefing drew 12.2 million people on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News, those are the type of numbers that shows like “Monday Night Football and season finales for “The Bachelor” usually receive. Fox News benefited the most from the briefings, with the conservative cable news channel attracting 6.2 million viewers on Monday.
Trump initially held the COVID-19 briefings from the Oval Office, but once he permanently moved them inside the White House on March 14 viewership started to peak. Vice President Mike Pence, who heads up the White House task force, once began the briefings, but the president has now taken charge of making announcements at the outset and fielding questions from reporters.

You'd think a business tat makes its money off ratings would want to carry programming that gets ratings...
It's almost as of they have another reason to not broadcast the briefings.

He basically gets to present a daily report of his activities and productivity to the American People as his contract renewal is coming up

friend/college asked
Friend: "Where is that doctor, heard he and Trump aren't getting along are they?
Me: " he's on TV today telling reporters he would give a patient the Chloroquine drug"
friend: "you mean the drug that's killing people?"
me: no, that was fake news (silence)
Friend: "where are you seeing the doctor, what channel, I heard he's been missing for 2 days and that drug TRump was pushing is killing people?"
me: Fox, the other major networks won't cover the POTUS briefings, that's probably why are you uninformed

I also like how he is doing some of them at the exact same time of the evening news.

pretty sure CNN and MSNBC barely show it now...
they sure as heck aren't covering it in total, like Fox...they are often pushing 2 hours...

Major media and networks have stopped covering it, because the more they cover it, the higher Trump's approval ratings go.
Dem strategists have already screeched to stop covering his briefings because people hear it first hand, and not the propaganda spin that networks spew.

they try to block anything positive he does.

Trump needs to start outlining what a selective return to normalcy would look like in some areas. Could we do contract tracing and only quarantine people that have been in contact with those infected?

News outlets not covering a briefing from the president during a crisis. These are mad times.

Heck, Mika said this morning that she wished Trump would quit attending his own briefings because then she could find out what the experts REALLY think about it.
These people are loony.
I mean, by that same token, maybe she ought to quit doing her show... then we could find out what Joe REALLY thinks...

I watched it on ABC yesterday in the Atlanta area.

It's carried on CSPAN-2 also for those who are unwilling or perhaps unable to Fox.

And yet the left wing media was just a few months ago bitching about the admin not having daily briefings and now we have the top dog himself running them and they don't want to air it.
Tells us all we need to know right there.

The briefings have replaced Trump rallies.
