You usually don’t broadcast things that don’t qualify as newsworthy.

From the same person who threatened to take away broadcast license from networks who broadcasted his pedo-ass getting manhandled in the debate against Harris.
...and when the couch-fucker got "fact checked" in his debate

In their defense, it was very boring. The white house hyped it up like he was going to drop a bomb, but it was just the same speech he always does

Just trying to stir up trouble before the election, like usual. Remember when "The Caravan" was coming to America, THOUSANDS of blood-thirsty south-of-the-border thugs coming to rape, pillage, and murder?
Then the election happened, and he never mentioned it again, and The Caravan just melted away.
This time the boogeyman is the Chinese, because he can't blame the real problem, Russia, because he KNOWS they were involved, and can implicate him.
I think we should do deep investigations into the 2016, 2020, and 2024 elections, leave no stone unturned, spare no expense, and make it all public, and find out who REALLY has been manipulating our elections.
Oh, and do a Federal investigation into Florida elections while we're at it. They've been 100% rigged for years.

Yeah, and back them my hackles raised then trump would threaten elections

That's just it.
No substance, no air time. It eliminates having to fact check afterwards as well. Double win!
NekoKoneko@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 37d
Yep, the most fundamental grift for Trump is converting the credibility of the office of the presidency or the country in general into credibility for his money or power scheme of the moment. That's what this primetime address was.
In the future, primetime presidential addresses (under Trump but also after) will have less credibility, because that broadcast spent some portion of it.
And if course his goal is to spend all the credibility of the presidency and US on himself before he dies, because that's just good narcissist math.

I tried to listen, I got through about 8 seconds, skipped ahead like 4 times and shut it off.
Who wants to listen to senile rambling about how "good" everything is?

I was honestly expecting an announcement along the lines of "midterm elections are canceled" or "very restrictive measures will be taken to ensure election integrity". I got really stoned in preparation

That was their fact-checking filter. They already know that Trump lies whenever he opens his mouth or types something on "truth" social, so they proactively did not send it.
BillyClark@piefed.social · 23 pts · 38d
Yes, really, any station that broadcasts a Trump speech should get shut down for spreading misinformation.

Having a Cluster B in charge is fun. Isn’t this fun? The toxic branch of the DSM, the least capable of remission of the 4 (and never, at 80), and spiraling down into Dimentia. Who thought this was a good idea?

TheLowestStone@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 38d
Not even close. More than 1/3 of the electorate didn't even vote and, of the ones who did, slightly less than half voted for Trump.
FaceDeer@fedia.io · 3 pts · 38d
I was expecting that excuse to come up, it often does.
People who don't vote are effectively voting "we're okay with whatever everyone else chooses." So when Trump wins those people voted for Trump.

Not according to those fucktards. Keep in mind these same folks think that gays getting the right to exist and get married is an afront to their freedoms. And being told they shouldn't be homophobes is worse than how Nazis treated the Jews during WW2.

Fox had to pay three quarters of a billion dollars for airing the same lies that Trump spewed in his speech. No network should be forced to take that risk.

FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca · 7 pts · 37d
The media was surprisingly responsible and didn't let him lie without fact checking this time. CBS showed part of it but spent a lot of time fact checking before and after. Too bad MAGA will spin it as censorship and say the networks were afraid to let Trump tell the truth
