Watching both tonight between the baseball playoffs and they've completely flip-flopped their coverage from earlier today.
1. CNN has almost completely stopped covering the hurricane and focusing exclusively on Trumps "vulgar" comments. Even played his taped comments as soon as they were released.
2. Fox is now covering the hurricane almost exclusively and has barely mentioned the Trump controversy and hasn't played his taped statement yet.

I'm not really trying to make a point other than the power these networks have on the public's perspective. CNN, is making it the worst thing that has ever been said. Fox, is barely covering it so you'd think it was a relatively minor story.

Fox covered the **** out of Trump's comments all night. They also covered Wikileaks release of speeches the Hillary gave that show her hypocrisy, but I saw a lot on the Trump story from them.

They did spend 10 minutes on his comments in the last 45 minutes. The rest has been hurricane coverage. CNN hasn't talked about the hurricane since this story broke. Stevie Wonder (CNN was all hurricane coverage before the Trump story broke) could see the flip-flop in coverage by both networks. That is my only point. 10 minutes of Trump talk in an hour when all FOX and CNN have done is talk about the election the last 12 months is obvious putting head in the sand.

People see what they want to see. I watched tv for about 45 minutes around 4pm and fox talked about the hurricane and trumps video and the wikileaks files. I only cared about the hurricane coverage becausr I was driving to Virginia and the weather channel was so busy showing damage in florida they forgot that there was still a storm.
