Coverage of Trump's Appearance in Phoenix

K

Amazing that only 4 stations are airing it live: Channels 3, 12, 15, and 45. The latter is the most shocking, given that we're talking about Trump-friendly Fox here. I would have guessed that they would have covered it on 10, and moved Fox programming to 45 for the evening. Channels 5, 8, 33, and 39 are airing regular network programming.

Maybe you haven't been following the story, but Murdoch doesn't appear to be "Trump-friendly," and there are a few at FNC who are downright hostile to him.

I'm talking about local KSAZ-TV Channel 10. I don't watch it often, but they've always seemed rather Trump-friendly. Maybe it's because they're joined at the hip to iHeartRadio, owner of KFYI, which is the semi-Official Radio Station of the Arizona Republican Party, and has been for as long as I've lived here (almost 25 years).
 
I think KSAZ (Fox 10) has been fairly middle of the road when covering Trump. Haven't watched Fox News Now (45) enough to know what their biases might be.

Given that they're co-owned and co-located, I would think that there'd be no difference.

Yes and also there have been threads on this board showing articles where Sinclair, Brietbart, The Blaze and Infowars for supposedly being more Pro-Trump than even Fox News apparently. But that's in the background of the Sinclair/Tribune deal, the Lara Trump Show on Facebook live and other right wing outlets all trying to prove to their audiences on who is more Pro-Trump specifically besides Fox News as their business model.
 
I voiced my displeasure at KSAZ's Morning Show earlier today for their wasteful spending of over half an hour just waiting for AF1 to take off. It isn't like this is any sort of news and, in fact, The Great Orator wasn't even shown. He scurried aboard the 747 like he was ducking the bill from the Omni Hotel.

C'mon Fox 10. Act like you have been there before. Not even a decent wrap-up of his so-called speech from the night before. Thanks Steve Krafft for a very short summary of it.

I was watching GMAZ yesterday. They came back from a commercial and showed the plane taking off. It was perfect coverage of the President's departure. Short and simple (since there were no planned events before he left).
