Donald Trump has made it official. He is is a candidate for the presidential election come November of next year.
He picked a Saturday afternoon to make the announcement. But none of the major TV networks -- including Fox, his favorite -- carried the event live. They ran the report on their late afternoon and evening news broadcasts, since it was by any measure a major news event. But carrying it live? Didn't happen.

Nor did any of the nation's major newspapers devote major space to the announcement. A three-paragraph item was printed on the lower half of an inside page.
So much for making a big splash.
The networks were more concerned with carrying reports on the arrest of five police officers who were charged with the beating death of Kyre Nichols after he ran away from a traffic stop in Memphis, Tenn.
The five officers were suspended from the force and face murder charges. It's also worth noting that all five officers are Black, as was their victim. The police chief is also Black.
These are noteworthy facts, indicating that America is changing.
