café, and the process repeated itself as the trump caravan drove are from newark, airport, to his bedminster airport. there s just one reason these channels plowed pd through so many hours, the ratings are always good when trump is on center stage. but when the former president gave a prime time speech to supporters at his new jersey club denouncing the indictment and the biden administration, only fox news carried it live. msnbc ask cnn, which had spent a very long day analyzing and criticizing the republican presidential front-runner, refused to air the speech. are they protecting their viewers from what he has to say? and some folkses wonder why the media seem biased. i m howard kurtz and it is this is mediabuzz. howard: ahead, a sit-down with jason miller, a top adviser to the former president. and attorney alan dershowitz on the strengths and weaknesses of the case. donald trump s scripted and somewhat subdued speech hit many targets, and there was, not surprising
