ABC News Live and NBC News Now will stream President Donald Trump’s primetime address on July 16, as the liberal broadcast networks withhold his crucial message from the American public.
ABC News and NBC News announced Thursday that they will limit President Donald Trump’s primetime address to their digital platforms—ABC News Live and NBC News Now—rather than airing it on their main broadcast channels, effectively restricting access for millions of Americans. NBC said it will follow the speech with a special report on its main network, and ABC said it might break in for a report depending on developments, but neither network is giving the president’s message the prominence it deserves. CBS News has not yet disclosed its coverage plans, and the three major cable news outlets have also not confirmed how they will handle the hour-long program.
The president is set to address the critical issue of election security, highlighting intelligence about foreign interference and advocating for the SAVE America Act—a commonsense voting-law proposal that would require additional identification for voter registration to protect the integrity of our elections. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized that the speech will focus on ensuring fair elections and will be backed by factual evidence presented that evening.
The networks’ decision comes amid a climate where left-wing media and politicians continue to suppress discussion of legitimate concerns about the 2020 election, dismissing them as 'conspiracy theories' despite widespread public skepticism. Lawmakers like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries have attacked the president’s focus on election integrity, but many Americans believe these issues deserve open debate, not censorship by partisan media.
