Trump launches nightly Facebook show to skirt ‘media filter’

WASHINGTON, Oct 25, (APP/AFP) – Donald Trump’s campaign has launched a nightly show on Facebook Live aiming to bypass “the media filter”, as White House hopefuls sprint the final leg of a caustic race. Broadcasting from New York’s Trump Tower via the Republican candidate’s Facebook page, the show dubbed “Trump Tower Live” premiered Monday and is expected to air every evening through the November 8 vote. “This is just an effort by us to reach out to you guys,” said Trump adviser and co-host Cliff Sims. “You don’t have to take it through the media filter and all the spin that they put on it — you can hear it from us directly.”
