ABC and NBC showed the entire world that they’re basically nothing more than leftist state-run media. The two broadcast giants decided not to air an address from the president of the United States to the American people because they decided it was a “conspiracy theory” to suggest any wrongdoing with the controversial, sketchy, and ridiculous 2020 election.
JUST IN: NBC & ABC will not air President Trump’s primetime address live on their broadcast networks.

Earlier reports that we shared with you stated that the networks were “pushing back” because Trump would be pushing “baseless conspiracies.”

This X post sums up the frustration shared by millions of Americans:
If you refuse to air the president of the United States addressing the nation on election interference, you’re probably involved in the cover-up.

Every major network covered Joe Bidens “Red Speech” where he call half the country domestic terrorists, but they won’t cover President Trump speech tonight because he’s going to talk about securing our elections!

(…) Here’s what folks online are saying about this:
“THREE ENEMIES OF AMERICA; (1) ISLAM (2) The Democrat Party (3) The American Media CRUSHING all three – should BE a priority if America is to survive!”
“I don’t think ABC, NBC and CBS should have further access to our President in the Whitehouse.”
“For all the talk about nazi this and fascist that, they didn’t know fascism when it was staring them in the face.”
“So, the networks think Trump supporters are actual domestic terrorists. Good to know”
“Bar all networks from the White House!”
“So Biden’s Hitler speech calling half of America terrorists is ok ABC and NBC”
“A Legacy Media Outlet that ignores a U.S. President’s request for a live platform, is a traitor that must be severely punished! Broadcasting inside the United States is a PRIVILEGE that carries responsibilities. It’s not a right! “
Hiding information because you personally or politically deem it “unfavorable” is itself a political act, and that isn’t what our nation’s broadcast news media is supposed to do. If these networks exist solely to push left-wing propaganda while burying US intelligence about election interference, then they’re not functioning as news organizations. They’re operating more like political action committees, and their broadcast privileges should be treated accordingly.

Furthermore, how are we supposed to take these broadcasters seriously? The same people who pushed the Russia hoax for years now expect to be treated as the final authority on what is and isn’t true. These are also the people who told Americans that Hunter Biden’s laptop was a Russian psyop.
