The New York Times ran its story on Trump refusing to commit to a peaceful transfer of power on page A15, Washington Post on A4. Can& #39;t tell if or where they ran stories but it isn& #39;t on the Newseum& #39;s front pages for Wall Street Journal, LA Times, USA Today, or Chicago Tribune.
The Times prioritized room on the front for “Trump buoyed in the suburbs of Milwaukee.” https://twitter.com/parkermolloy/status/1309099814781681664?s=21">https://twitter.com/parkermol... https://twitter.com/parkermolloy/status/1309099814781681664">https://twitter.com/parkermol...
It& #39;s the second story after Louisville on NBC& #39;s Today, with Peter Alexander saying Trump "is taking a position that is not just unprecedented but, critics warn, it is dangerous, refusing to endorse one of the most basic tenets of American democracy."
Similar placement for segment on ABC& #39;s Good Morning America, with George Stephanopoulos warning that Trump is "defying democracy."
CBS This Morning& #39;s coverage was much briefer and more perfunctory.
Lots of coverage on CNN and MSNBC; a near-total blackout on Fox News, and totally ignored on the popular primetime/Fox & Friends shows.
Wall Street Journal story also ran on A4. It looks like Chicago Tribune and USA Today didn& #39;t run print stories at all.
Yesterday I wrote about how Trump exploits the media vulnerability of the finite news hole.

This isn& #39;t that. NYT A1 includes "Trump buoyed in the suburbs of Milwaukee,” WaPo has "Trump seeks health care & #39;wins.& #39;"
LA Times put "Opposing styles in debate preparation" on A1 and "Trump won& #39;t commit to exit; Assertion that there & #39;won& #39;t be a transfer& #39; of power alarms experts" on A6.
