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.”

    Sounds like this time he’s babbled something truthful CNN handlers don’t want to air

    Edit obligatory reddit thanks for the reverse gold. If you couldn’t get it, this was a very anti trump comment and I’m surprised Lemmy isn’t having it. See thread for details: he’d been saying elections are rigged but because that’s how he’s “won” , not against him

      So your belief is CNN got the transcript of what someone who refuses to follow scripts would say before he said it, and refused to air it because they knew that CNN, had something to do with checks notes outside countries having influence over U.S. elections with no instances being pointed to, and no arrests made for performing them. Also no warrants for arrests…

      The closest thing he got to telling the truth is that China got ahold of voter data… because voter data is public information.

      I got voter data for my area for 2020, seriously, just ask the elections department.

        Probably admitted that Russia and China have been manipulating votes for him, but tried to claim the reverse
