They can’t help themselves. They’ve got nothing else.

My father is a veteran. So yeah, I am well aware of the honor and valor of our military. Don't need lectures on it from Bone Spurs Donnie either!

I was never in the military but if I had been and our president was a draft dodger I would be insulted. No matter which party they belonged too.

I would disagree. Most of the major networks have decided that giving Trump free publicity is not going to happen this time like it did in 2016. In 2016 it was all about ratings because they were sure Trump would never become president. Now its not that simple. And PBS who refused to air it does not live off ad dollars so your theory is shot right there.

Regarding the Trump 4th of July celebration. Good for Trump not making it about himself. It is the kind of move that independent voters will like.

There is YouTube... they haven't banned it yet.

Those would include the managers of the major broadcast and cable network propaganda services. By throwing a temper tantrum and choosing to not cover the 4th celebration, they not only identify themselves as spoiled, petulant children-but they reinforce the appearance of purveyors of manipulation and propaganda-not news. In short-they prove Trump right when he calls them "fake news". Every American with an IQ over 70 sees that.

What a wonderful patriotic event! That was a much needed history lesson for many people, since our schools no longer teach the greatness of our nation and the sacrifices and victories of our military.
