#BREAKING: Trump to address nation on primetime TV Tuesday night amid shutdown over border wall https://t.co/0QqWc7sfW9 pic.twitter.com/Fwzi6PYafF

— The Hill (@thehill) January 7, 2019

Really dangerous ground if the prime time address in question is about a “crisis” that does not exist.

— Ben White (@morningmoneyben) January 7, 2019

show the speech with the list of lies on one side- when he hits one of them it can light up or a bell can sound. (I kid, but not that much)

— Jennifer Rubin (@JRubinBlogger) January 7, 2019

Guys.
When the President of the United States asks for TV airtime for an Oval Office address, networks will (and should) air it.
There is no explicit or implicit endorsement of the president's views in that decision.

— Niall Stanage (@NiallStanage) January 7, 2019

The latest – CNN, Fox, Fox Biz have agreed to air Trump. Broadcast nets still deciding https://t.co/rx5bxVZISt

— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) January 7, 2019

Update to the update: NBC, ABC, and CBS will all carry Trump's address Tuesday night. Wall to wall coverage of his pro-wall speech. Hopefully surrounded by fact-checking. https://t.co/ttRKY7xVWG

Should the TV networks air the president's prime time address Tuesday?

Networks face pressure on whether President Trump’s address warrants prime time coverage. https://t.co/PgTJs90H1w

— NBC News (@NBCNews) January 7, 2019

This is so bizarre. The networks have been covering every single time Trump sneezes since the moment he announced his candidacy, to the point of exhaustive lunacy. Now, he is doing an official address and there's a question on whether to air it? https://t.co/yp9BZHHY9r

— Carol Roth (@caroljsroth) January 7, 2019

I'd like to watch a Trump address to the nation like it was on DVR, where anchors pause the feed every time he lies about something and instantly correct him before hitting play again. That would actually be useful.

— Matthew Miller (@matthewamiller) January 7, 2019

What I don't get is how is Trump going to change minds on the wall? He's been making his case for 3.5 years now… and consistently voters have been against it.

— (((Harry Enten))) (@ForecasterEnten) January 7, 2019

If Harry Truman couldn't nationalize the steel industry during wartime, President Trump certainly doesn't have the power to declare a nonexistent emergency and build a multi-billion dollar wall on the border.

That's a complete nonstarter. pic.twitter.com/NamOknGHMo

Trump and Sarah Sanders are suddenly acting like they care about a "humanitarian crisis on our border." Don't let them pull the wool over your eyes.

Video footage and the written report of Trump's visit with service members in Iraq showed signing of hats and a "Trump 2020" patch.

But troops' requests for the autographs could brush up against Department of Defense guidelines for political activities. https://t.co/dY27gIfFiO

Trump to the troops in Iraq:
"You haven’t gotten [a raise] in more than ten years. More than ten years. And we got you a big one. I got you a big one….I said no. Make it ten percent. Make it more than ten percent. Because it’s been a long time."
Just FYI, none of this is true.

This is your occasional reminder that Trump is violating all kinds of norms when he talks like this in front of the troops and it’s pretty repellent. https://t.co/1mIrCLNf3D

It’s not that ‘we have different perspectives on the Trump Presidency.’ It’s that the GOP has trained its people to distrust media meaning those people are fed disinformation from non-news sources and walk away thinking Trump is doing great. In reality, he is not.
