This is not true. The POTUS has the most prominent platform in the world, he could walk out to any random street corner and anything he says will be broadcast to every corner of the planet, he is not in any way beholden to "corporate censors".
- SV_BubbleTime 6y agoThat’s not true any more though. All of the media networks have shown examples of cutting away from the Presidents speeches when they detect he’s going to say something they don’t like. If you were Trump right now and want to directly address the nation, you know calling CNN and Fox and NBC are going to be a mixed bag at best. FAANG has given the indication right now that for two week no one should be giving the President a platform. I fully expect him to use the national broadcast system. https://www.westernjournal.com/cnn-cuts-away-trump-coronavirus-briefing-calling-propaganda/ https://www.westernjournal.com/cnn-cuts-away-trump-coronavir... https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/cnn-msnbc-cut-away-donald-230651373.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9kdWNrZHVja2dvLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAADw7rrRBKXn4sBkNYPXLDfKFK2AhitQrICMlQrv5mqSFS8jOMUURjXnC_nVAruwxmWG6ddNAEIpQ4pdzHfyt7L9zivjDcfEh7mEG0wyl_Lgx1vMELCJ8uBsBjVIySwcFp_gSMHBUAXLumkfsHN3UialE7eKdaRLOlitDhQ8I82Ow https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/cnn-msnbc-cut-away-donal... https://apnews.com/article/election-2020-donald-trump-entertainment-brian-williams-elections-8159feee1f7539e0bd4815092c11952f https://apnews.com/article/election-2020-donald-trump-entert... https://heavy.com/news/2020/07/fox-news-neil-cavuto-trump-speech-fact-check/ https://heavy.com/news/2020/07/fox-news-neil-cavuto-trump-sp... https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white-house/watch/watch-nicolle-wallace-cuts-away-from-trump-we-hate-to-do-this-but-trump-isn-t-telling-the-truth-69905989594 https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white-house/watch/watch-nicol... https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/fox-news-cuts-away-from-trump-campaign-press-conference-cant-in-good-countenance-continue-showing-this/ar-BB1aQCUY https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/fox-news-cuts-away-f... https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2020/nov/06/msnbc-cuts-away-from-trumps-address-after-he-again-falsely-declares-election-victory-video https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2020/nov/06/msnbc-...
- mrlala 6y ago>when they detect he’s going to say something they don’t like. Give me a break. You act like they have been cutting out on him for years. It's only been recently this year when he literally lying and calling covid a hoax, telling people to do dangerous things like gather for his rallies during a pandemic / actively saying not to wear masks, and finally this election bullshit. The networks have gone above and beyond his bs for years- there is a time to take a stand and the last few months have proven that.
- SV_BubbleTime 6y ago> Give me a break. You act like they have been cutting out on him for years. You may want to check the date on the links I posted. This has been going on since 2017. The search term I used was “cut away from Trump”. > The networks have gone above and beyond his bs for years- there is a time to take a stand I promise you the pendulum will swing and so will your reaction.
- root_axis 6y agoThe narrative you're trying to present is completely false. Any "cutting away" of Trump is utterly inconsequential compared to the complete domination of the media Trump has commanded since the beginning of his presidential campaign. Trump is literally the most famous man in the world, you're simply in denial if you can't admit that.
- SV_BubbleTime 6y agoI’m not in denial of that at all. The topic is can the media and tech silence the President of the USA, and the answer is apparently yes.
