Kurtz: No Matter How Much News Trump Makes Overseas, Media’s Not Ready to Let Go the Russia Story

‘Even the president’s most ardent critics, most I should say are calling it a substantive and well delivered speech’

EXCERPT:

KURTZ: "Look, even the president’s most ardent critics, most of them I should say, are calling this a substantive and well-delivered speech, softer tone on Islam well received in Riyadh and a good start to the trip. But in terms of media coverage, other stories, Rick, are already starting to crowd it out; 'Washington Post' lead story this morning, President’s budget makes massive cuts to Medicaid. And as you were discussing with Brit Hume moments ago, and it's been a bigger deal on other networks, Mike Flynn, the former national security adviser declining a Senate subpoena. So, no matter how much Trump makes news on this overseas trip the media are not ready to let go of this Russia story, especially now with the special counsel's investigation."
