CNN refused to broadcast President Donald Trump’s White House address on Thursday, July 16, after his “history of false statements.”
After the move, CNN was hit with a wave of backlash from viewers as many found the move to be a form of censorship. On X, one person wrote, “Unbelievable and unacceptable, no more ‘objectivity’ CNN has no credibility……all news outlets should air any President live AND LET THEIR VIEWERS DECIDE THEIR OWN OPINIONS OF LIVE PRESIDENTS NATIONAL ADDRESSES.”
“On X, one person wrote”
Come on guys…
“Unbelievable and unacceptable, no more ‘objectivity’ CNN has no credibility……all news outlets should air any President live AND LET THEIR VIEWERS DECIDE THEIR OWN OPINIONS OF LIVE PRESIDENTS NATIONAL ADDRESSES.”
But these same assholes cheer when Obama is ignored and Biden’s speech isn’t broadcast.
If the viewers had the ability to discern propaganda and fake news from legitimate information, we would not have Trump as president.
If we had a unbiased, functional 4th estate we would not have Trump as president. Treating made up bullshit as “alternate facts” is partially why we are where we are.
So much of this is just the result of turnout. And so much of turnout hinges on how efficiently the campaigns operated.
The big difference between Obama, Hillary, Biden, and Harris is who knew how to organize the machinery to get their supporters to the polls in the highest numbers and who didn’t.
After that, you’re just living in a country where 45% of the voting base consistently goes with the most naked fascist on the ballot, because they’ve been programmed to hate hate hate outsiders. And if you can’t juice enough of the remaining 55%, fascism is what you get.
They shoulda done a 5 min broadcast delay and run a fact-checking effort as pop-up video.
And a running count of proved-falsehoods.
Maybe a “minutes saying false things”, a “minutes saying true things”, and a “minutes not talking”; but the last one will be stuck at 0.
CNN sucks, but a broken clock is, indeed, correct twice a day. They aren’t wrong here.
Again, fuck them, though. They aren’t our allies. They side with the chucklefucks committing genocide and prostrsting themselves to Trump and his allies in fear.
Yeah, and look at who owns them now. I’m honestly surprised they didn’t air the presidential rant.
Imagine if they’d done this in 2015.
history of
false statementsbad ratingsLike CNN has ever had a problem airing out a professional liar’s bullshit.
You’re actually saying trump doesn’t get ratings/attention?
That’s astoundingly out of touch, if so.
Free market, bitch! If he wants to buy the air time, he can. No one stopped him from giving the speech and no one stopped the channels that aired it from doing so. That ain’t censorship.
And they were right on the spot.
Although, I have to admit, Trump’s lies are easy to spot. He only needs to open his mouth or type something…
Tel Aviv Don?
More please.
the same ‘lack of’ federal regulations that allows fox news to spew the bullshit and lies that they have for decades, is the same that allows cnn to not broadcast the dipshit’s
speechespolitical ramblings.Anyone who has been keeping an eye on the activities of the blatant Russian state sponsored bots on social media knows this already.
CNN refused to broadcast President Donald Trump’s White House address on Thursday, July 16, after his “history of false statements.”
Bullshit. What’s the real reason, CNN? Because you’ve been covering for Trump and sane washing his BS for years.
Their own options are wrong. How can you agree with factually false statements and lies with no evidence to back up claims.
