‘STUNNING’‚ ‘EXPLOSIVE’‚ ‘HISTORIC’: Network Evening News Hyperventilates Over Colorado Ruling Disqualifying Trump From 2024 Primary Ballot
The evening network newscasts delivered their breaking news reports on the Colorado Supreme Court decision disqualifying former President Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot with little substance‚ but plenty of emotional impact.Â
Watch this brief parade of superlatives‚ as aired on the network evening newscasts:
DAVID MUIR: It is a significant and historic ruling…
ROBERT COSTA: It’s an explosive moment in the 2024 presidential campaign.
GARRETT HAAKE: So this is a stunning moment from the Colorado Supreme Court…
Stunning. And brave‚ even.Â
The ruling was certainly momentous‚ for reasons not disclosed on the evening newscasts. Of the three‚ CBS’s Robert Costa spent the most time speculating whether this ruling would be dispositive towards Donald Trump’s presidential candidacy.Â
With a January 4th deadline‚ expect additional coverage of the decision and the subsequent appeals process- with heaping doses of “Democracy!”.
Exit question: You do know that the court now lauded for its stunning and brave constitutional interpretation is the same court that got overturned for trying to force the guy to bake the cake‚ right?Â
