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.”
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.
