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.”
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.
