The fact that several major television networks chose not to air President Trump’s address live last night speaks volumes about the state of today’s mainstream media. According to multiple reports, ABC, NBC, and CNN did not carry the President’s address live on their primary television broadcasts, instead directing viewers to digital or streaming platforms while other outlets aired it. Whether you call it “editorial judgment” or something else, millions of Americans see a clear double standard. When the President of the United States addresses the nation, Americans should be able to hear those remarks firsthand and decide for themselves—not have network executives decide what’s worthy of live coverage. This decision also comes after years of research documenting overwhelmingly negative coverage of President Trump by many major media organizations. A 2025 Media Research Center analysis found that ABC, CBS, and NBC’s coverage of President Trump’s first 100 days was 92% negative. Earlier studies by Harvard’s Shorenstein Center and Pew Research likewise found Trump’s presidency received substantially more negative coverage than previous administrations. You don’t have to agree with President Trump to believe Americans deserve to hear directly from their elected President. The answer isn’t gatekeeping information—it’s trusting the American people to think for themselves. Let the people watch. Let the people decide. 🇺🇸 God Bless America.
