I can't believe someone actually measured the length of time spent by ABC on the story. Really seems a bit petty to me.
Frankly, I don't care if the news outlets cover much of anything about the president at all. I know during Obama's reign, the networks fawned all over him. If they could, I think the news would have followed him into the bathroom to show him doing his business. Whenever I saw Obama's face on the screen, I changed the channel. I find myself doing the same with Trump.
Just let me know when the president does something important, particularly if it's beneficial to me and people like me. I really don't care to watch any president doing ceremonies.
