On Wednesday, Donald Trump visited East Palestine, Ohio, the site of that toxic train wreck. CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News did not cover the former president's speech live as they certainly would have in the past, particularly FNC.

But the times, they have changed. Mr. Trump has few media allies these days, and his ratings power has diminished somewhat. But the real reason there was scant coverage is that corporate media does not want another Trump presidency.
