All Three Networks Hit Trump’s Response: Lament No Call for Gun Control

[See NewsBusters for more.] All three networks on Thursday reacted similarly to Donald Trump’s speech about the mass shooting in Broward County, Florida, knocking it at as free of calls for gun control and specific policy. Yet, the President, did mention mental health reform, something that NBC’s Chuck Todd seemed to miss. Todd derided: “That was President Trump, as you heard there, deciding not to address any policy ideas at all in his remarks, leaving it mostly trying to strike an empathetic tone.” He complained: “I guess what struck me most about those remarks is, they made a lot of sense if he uttered them yesterday. Today it feels as if he's almost about eight hours behind.”
