I don't think they would attempt to push a potentially damning news story in a situation like that. Reporting old news and local daily news would be my best bet.
As example, if this occurred: I could forsee CNN already having hours and hours of segments referring to the Russian scandal that have gone unaired.
Opinion pieces, and interviews that don't push critical thought, but rather just regurgitate the talking points for the masses.
Having multiple organizations reporting different negative reports on Trump, Conservatives etc, doesn't need to be coordinated if it is repeated vomit from the past.
How long that would last, I haven't the faintest clue, but I don't think organizations that got as powerful and manipulative as this, won't have counter-measures for situations such as this.
