So let me get this straight. NBC and ABC will happily report:
The vaccine is safe and effective
Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation
Joe Biden was at the top of his game
Kamala Harris was nominated in a democratic process
BLM riots were mostly peaceful…
But they refuse to carry the President of the United State’s primetime speech about whether or not evidence exists of foreign election interference?
If you’re one of the few who still watch these two legacy outlets, please stop. They hate you.
The decision by ABC, CNN, and NBC not to carry President Trump’s primetime address on election security raises a fundamental question about the role of major broadcast networks in a democracy.
This was a nationally announced speech by a sitting, duly elected president on the integrity of U.S. elections. An issue that affects every voter, regardless of party.
This is not about liking or disliking Trump, or agreeing or disagreeing with his claims. The presidency is the highest elected office in the country. When a president addresses the nation in a formal, scheduled primetime speech, there is a strong public‑interest argument that news networks should air it live and in full. Citizens can’t evaluate their leaders, or their claims, if they aren’t allowed to hear those leaders directly.
Editorial judgment and criticism remain essential. Networks are entirely within their rights to add clear disclaimers before and after the address, fact‑check in real time or immediately afterward, host panels that challenge, contextualize, or rebut the president’s statements.
But substituting that for the speech itself, showing only handpicked clips, summaries, or commentary, shifts from informing the public to curating what the public is permitted to see. At that point, viewers are reacting to the networks’ framing, not to the president’s actual words.
Even after being censored in the U.S., having its license revoked and facing sanctions, RT International chose to air the address in full. RT has publicly disagreed with the president’s policies and with parts of this speech, but it treated the event as a matter of public record. Our principle is simple: viewers should be able to watch the complete address in context, hear the arguments unedited, and then weigh both the speech and the subsequent criticism for themselves. Rather than having corporate media gatekeepers decide in advance which presidential messages are fit for broadcast.
Det som hände med CNN igår när de stoppade Trumps live-tal till nationen är det slutgiltiga beviset på att vänstern har förlorat. De pratar om frihet men utövar ren censur.
Det börjar bli rätt uppenbart vilka som är det riktiga hotet mot demokratin.
Ready for this? The evidence CBS presents to fact check Trump is that communist China denies it.
I'm not kidding. And they conveniently have a pre-written denial from China ready.
So, not only did they not broadcast Trump's speech, but they were actively collaborating with the CCP beforehand.
Enemy of the people. 👇
