Trump Military Parade May Not Get Much Coverage on CBS, NBC, ABC

[William769]

Does a parade meant to celebrate the nation truly exist if it can't get on national broadcast TV?

Mainstream TV-news outlets seem divided over how to cover an extravagant display of military might along the streets of Washington, D.C. from the Trump administration. A June 14 parade and accompanying festivities meant to call attention to the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army will be something to see, with three kinds of helicopters; Bradley vehicles; a fireworks display; and a parachute jump by the Golden Knights demonstration team.

Some will give the event a mere nod, while others will utilize all the resources a national TV newsroom can muster.

ABC News, NBC News and CBS News are unlikely to pre-empt regular TV programming for coverage of the event, according to people familiar with their plans. ABC News plans to "cover the parade across programs and platforms, including 24/7 streaming news channel ABC News Live's coverage beginning at 6:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, June 14." At NBC News, anchors Aaron Gilchrist and Kelly O'Donnell will lead special coverage of the event on NBC News Now, the news division's streaming outlet.

The broadcasters' ambivalence around coverage shows what a strange spectacle the parade is shaping up to be.

1. Who but a bunch of morons would want to watch something

Like that?

I'd guess the Fox will give it full coverage.

2. It's going to be a hot and hopefully rainy Saturday evening

Who is tuning into this snooze fest? All the MAGATS interested will be watching Fox or Newsmax anyway.

4. Even the Macy's parade is a snooze - and they got floats and balloons

Trump's ego show will draw only redhatted nosepickers watching from the mama's basement in their underwear.

Everyone else, with a life, will be out enjoying a nice June Saturday afternoon with their friends and family.

8. Hopefully, thinking people will be at NoKings protests for sure!

[William769]

10. That's what should be televised nationally.

[SheltieLover]

11. Absolutely! But you know that won't happen.

Barely a small mention of previous protests!

[SheltieLover]

7. I wonder if the Popeapalooza will be televized?

I'm not catholic - no idea. But that will help draw viewers too.

9. I mean, how long before even Trump supporters get bored with watching an endless line of tanks go by?

And unless our troops have been practicing a special goose step or high step for Liddle Donny’s birthday, they’ll probably just be walking, which is not terribly interesting.

12. Post the No Kings protest.............................

I'm advoiding TV alltogether like forever. Screw corporate media too.

[Silent Type]

13. I sure won't be watching, though hoping a tank or two crashes into review stand.

23. Sinkholes

Sinkholes can open up and thwart this unseemly display

20. It's a summer Saturday and Fathers Day weekend.

Nobody is going to be watching this on tv. They are spending time with family, recreating, protesting, and watching sports.

21. It's mostly for foreign consumption.

At least that's what I'm seeing.

And anyone who wants videos of it will have plenty of free options.

[Rebl2]

22. They better

not cover it!
