Isn’t ‘this’ interesting!!!
President Donald Trump’s speech about how China and other bad actors compromised American elections in 2020 and 2024 might be the biggest speech this side of “a day which will live in infamy.” Unlike the respect accorded to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, however, the news media at NBC, ABC, and CNN decided in advance that President Trump could not be trusted to tell the truth about the Titanic hitting America’s election iceberg. So they refused to give the president the time he requested to tell Americans, in the middle of vacation season, that America’s elections have been screwed up for at least the last two major election cycles.

There is an interesting take HERE from the Washington Examiner, also.
It is no secret that the MSM does not want to cover anything Trump, and while there is no actual ‘rule’ about TV access, especially after the kerfuffle over The View and their political programming (you know it’s true if you only watch ONE episode, just sayin…).
But my question is, how much actual ‘coverage’ was given on their streaming platforms? And how large was the actual viewership?
Oops, there were some NBC and ABC stations that did carry the speech…
Sinclair used its own feed of the speech from the White House and preempted NBC and ABC programming to air tjhe remarks via its The National News Desk.
Fox also carried the speech, as did CBS, though for the latter CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil preceded the address by telling viewers, “Honestly, much of what the president has said on this topic is false.”

So, Fox, C-Span, CBS, and a few NBC and ABC stations did carry it. ‘Back in the day’, yes, I’m that old, when we only had three channels, any presidential speech from either party was on all three channels, and most radio stations too!
Sigh… Granted this was long before we saw the partisanship we are seeing today. I really don’t know what is going to happen in November, but I think it’s going to be interesting, and not necessarily in a good way…
