Networks refuse to dump Trump for Hillary

If a presidential candidate gives a victory speech and none of the networks air it live, does it make an impact?

All of the major networks and cable news outlets stayed glued to Donald Trump as he gave a rambling victory speech — which also featured pitches for Trump brand steaks and wine — even after the Democratic front-runner, Hillary Clinton, took the stage to address her supporters in Cleveland.

The slight did not go unnoticed in the Twitterverse:

NPR noted that Clinton and Trump were both speaking — and referencing each other no less.

MSNBC tried to make up for it by airing Clinton's speech on delay. Tweeters were not impressed.
