Donald Trump's arraignment day a throwback for news outlets

On Tuesday, Donald Trump’s arraignment day consumed hours of coverage across U.S. broadcast and cable news networks, resembling a return to earlier eras of constant attention when Trump drove prime-time ratings. The media fixated on moments such as his motorcade route to a Manhattan courthouse and whether a mug shot would be released, while New York state Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan denied requests for video from the hearing itself. Coverage followed Trump’s travels from Florida to New York and replayed clips of his departure from a doorway. Legal analyst Danny Cevallos said the arraignment on 34 counts of falsifying business records was among the most significant in history, as other hosts argued much of the segment time involved waiting for fleeting developments.
