For this we have the news stations' own archives. Everything broadcast now has to be saved for a period of time, and many stations have thousands of hours of archived recent materials. Not everyone can gain access, but the recordings are there. And on millions of DVRs and other hard drives, all over the country. The challenge is finding the materials and collecting them in a publicly accessible place. 
It is to me amazing that one person could collect and keep such a massive archive!

 For those of you interested in the influence of TV on our lives may want to participate in the following PBS event:

I am blown away by Marion’s dedication to her project. Given that for the longest time VHS tapes came in relatively short recording time (< 2hrs) to be recording 24 hrs per day required real stamina - and reliable equipment. I hope that someone has been doing the same since she passed on. It would be interesting to see an analysis of which groups viewed what during the Trump era.
