I think on the day of the arrest and arraignment, the coverage was more than warranted. It’s a huge deal. No current or former president had ever been arrested or charged with felonies before.
It was the biggest story of the day. Hands down (certainly in the U.S. and arguably around the world as well). And people flock to CNN to watch coverage of major events.
BUT on OTHER days, CNN should not become the all Trump all the time network like MSNBC is. And I don’t think it is. Cover him when it’s newsworthy (which still is pretty darn often).
Buckle up, because there are at least three other investigations going on for which Trump could be charged with crimes…. And likely much more serious than this first case.
