Corporate media never misses an opportunity to put out the absolute worst political propaganda this side of Pravda at the height of the USSR.
The big picture: The address, which is expected to center around election security, put ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX between a rock and a hard place: air potentially false information about the 2020 election, or risk backlash from the White House and a confrontational Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
Let us get an important item squared away here: Axios is flat out lying in printing this garbage paragraph.
There is no rock and there is no hard place. That is pure fiction.
When the President of the United States speaks, it’s news.
If he lies (think Bill Clinton “I did not have sex with that woman…Ms. Lewinsky”), it’s news.
If he calls Democrats out for being anti-American, it’s news.
If he calls out John Roberts for writing an unconstitutional and legally void ruling in Trump v Barbara, it’s news.
If he says he he wants to see the Yankees win the World Series, it’s news and it’s grounds for impeachment (I’m a Red Sox fan, go figure).
What the networks that refuse to carry a Presidential address are saying is that what Donald Trump says does not matter to them.
What the networks that refuse to carry a Presidential address are saying is that what Donald Trump says should not matter to you.
Reality check: everything that Joe Biden said mattered to me—especiallywhen he was lying about COVID. If Kamala Harris had managed to stuff ballot boxes rather than her foot in her mouth everything she would have said as President would have mattered to me.
Corporate media has it in their head they are arbiters of “truth” in the United States. They are not. They can’t even tell the truth half the time, and don’t know what they’re talking about for the other half.
I don’t care if you support Donald Trump or not, if you support the MAGA Coalition or not, if you support the Yankees or the Red Sox. You want to hear what President Trump has to say. You want to decide for yourself if you believe him, if you trust him, and if you agree with him.
You owe yourself that much. You don’t owe corporate media a damn thing.
