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.”
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.
Magas have never been able to understand the concept that freedom of speech doesn’t obligate any entity to platform whatever it is you are saying.
Ever since 2020 it’s been “How do you know conservatives are being silenced? Because they never stop telling you.”
