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.
"On X, one person wrote"
Come on guys...
Welcome to modern news. Just wait until you find out a lot of it is written by AI
Yeah, modern journalism really seems to boil down to “what is Twitter posting about today?”
What are Nazis posting today?
Ftfy
They cannot leave the Nazi platform because they would be out of click bait served on a silver platter
The irishstar apparently is a tabloid newspaper.
Tel Aviv Don?
“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.
sort of, "Give me both sides of the argument and I'll decide for myself which one is right." That only works if both sides are at least trying to be accurate and thruthful.
Thats kind of like one of my former coworkers who would always tout he's one of the most informed people because he reads "both sides". And by that, it meant he'd look at articles posted to the libertarian forums, then glance at the headlines of something he doesn't agree with.
His car radio is tuned in to focks nooz
I first heard that from the high schoolers who wanted lessons in both evolution and intelligent design so they could make up their own minds which one was right. -eye roll-
This is actually pretty awesome. Major news channels not airing a freaking presidential address because even they know no good can come from him opening his ugly lying mouth.
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.
history of ~~false statements~~ bad ratings
Like 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.
Haha cry harder maga babies!
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 ~~speeches~~political ramblings.
Perhaps they expect they're all getting laid off once the Paramount deal closes, so they might as well.
Heh. Excellent.
Anyone who has been keeping an eye on the activities of the blatant Russian state sponsored bots on social media knows this already.
