Pathetic Roanoke Media Coverage Of Trump In Salem

-
The TV and Web local coverage of Trump’s rally in Salem 11-3 was pathetic.
-
One local TV station that did some coverage opened with an unknown young woman who was protesting the event across the street.
For an event of tens-of-thousands of local participants focused on THE major event of the year and the US government for the next four years, the lack of local TV coverage was pathetic and embarrassing.
The Roanoke Council meeting was covered at that time with about 10 people in attendance! Really?
Something about Fair and Balanced has been lost!

It’s sad that the Roanoke TV media is now in-sync-with the LeftWing Roanoke Times:
-
Media Editor’s – read Mr. Claytor’s First Editorial and then ‘heal thyself’s'.
-
Roanoke Times, 11-27-11, Pg Horiz 1: Roanoke Times at 125 years old.
Major one page spread with nice photogenic picture of the president and publisher.
First editorial, Nov 30, 1886, by Mr. Claytor, first owner and editor of the Roanoke Times outlines the paper’s philosophy including:
• It has no pets to reward and no enemies to put down.
• It will endeavor to be truthful.
• It is the mouthpiece of no order, corporation, party nor clique.
• To the fostering of our infant manufactories, to the development of our mineral resources and the cultivation of our fertile fields, must we direct our best efforts if we would make this Southern land of ours blossom as the rose.
