If you wanted to watch President Trump’s first press conference since Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the formal impeachment inquiry yesterday, hopefully, you were doing like most other Americans and watching another news channel than MSNBC, where host Nicolle Wallace decided you’d heard enough of the president. She really hated to do it, but she had to cut him off.
MSNBC’s Wallace keeps cutting into the Trump press conference to offer her fact checks. “We really hate to do this but the president isn’t telling the truth.”

Here’s when Nicolle Wallace stops airing Trump’s presser.

"We hate to do this." They just can't stop lying.

You can see the pain on her face.
Editorializing a press conference is quite a new tactic. Why not just drop the pretense and have the DNC run MSNBC and CNN?

Does MSNBC know what truth looks like? ?

This is an opinion anchor and not a real journalist. There is no need to keep interrupting the feed. We are capable of thinking and researching for ourselves. Who died and made her our teacher?

I wonder how long before they go full-on Soviet style media blackouts.

“Everyone” meaning everyone who agrees with me. What an absolute joke.

Funny,u don't remember them doing this during the last administration. I guess Obama never lied ! /s

Nope, his was truly a scandal-free administration. But seriously, media fact-checks are just like media errors … they always seem to go one direction.
They will keep doing it until they are truly held accountable. I really think it’s time to bring hard consequences on these people.

The need to run defense for Joe Biden was so pressing it couldn’t wait until the president was done speaking — just like yesterday when the Democrats couldn’t wait one day to read the call transcript before announcing an impeachment inquiry.
At least one satisfied viewer appreciated the blackout:
Thank you, @NicolleDWallace for not giving his lies airtime.
