Trump And Clinton Gave Speeches At The Same Time And Networks Only Covered Trump

Clinton's speech wasn't aired until after Trump was finished.

Tonight, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump gave primary election speeches at the exact same time.

Which posed a mighty choice to cable news networks: Cover the bombastic businessman or the former secretary of state?

Here was the answer:

Not one channel cut to Clinton's speech. (Trump's clocked in at 42 minutes long, by the way.)

The choice left people on both sides of the aisle fuming — even a Bernie Sanders supporter:

absolutely appalling that every network covered the guy hawking steaks instead of the former secretary of state.

And a supporter of Mitt Romney, who is no fan of Trump's:

Welcome to our world https://t.co/7wtGk2TSP7

And Obama supporters:

This is the most disrespectful, bullshit thing I've seen. @HillaryClinton is speaking but networks don't cut from Trump promoting his steaks
