Major networks ABC, NBC refuse to air Trump’s prime-time address on election fraud

Major broadcast networks, including ABC and NBC, will not be airing President Donald Trump‘s highly anticipated speech addressing his administration’s most pressing issues and his stance on election fraud. 

The White House has hinted at a variety of reasons for Thursday’s speech, but sources told Reuters on Wednesday that Trump may use the remarks to disclose whether China had interfered in the 2020 presidential election. 

The president said ahead of the speech that he has ‘really, really big news’ to share with the nation. 

ABC confirmed in a statement to multiple media outlets that the president’s remarks would be live-streamed on its corresponding streaming channels rather than on the prime-time cable network. 

‘We will also cover the speech in our regular network newscasts and, as always, our Special Report team is fully prepared to break into network programming to deliver live updates and reporting should significant developments occur,’ the network said in a statement to the Hollywood Reporter.

NBC has also opted to air Trump’s remarks on its free streaming service, NBC News Now, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to Reuters.   

Spokespeople for CBS News and Fox News have not announced whether they will air Trump’s speech on their prime-time channels. 

CNN told the Hollywood Reporter that the network planned to cover the president’s speech ‘as a news event, and monitor it for news developments, providing analysis and commentary from CNN experts who cover elections, intelligence and the FBI.’

  1. So then they aren’t major networks at all. Just communist mouth pieces But then we knew that.

    Not a day goes by that Joe McCarthy and Richard Nixon aren’t vindicated.

    It’s time to revoke there licenses.

    BTW I’m sure I can follow the Presidents speech on X
