Refusing to Air Biden’s Speech on the Looming Threat of Fascism, ABC, CBS, & NBC Demonstrate Instead Their Loyalty to the British Monarchy
Two weeks ago, President Joe Biden publicly acknowledged in a speech the existential threat myriad political writers (including this one), pundits, podcasters, former and current politicians, and journalists have been warning about for years — the rise of right-wing extremism.
One would assume, considering the speech’s gravity to warrant its being delivered during prime television broadcast time, all the major corporate media giants (except Fox) would have aired it.
But one would be wrong.
While ignoring one of the most important speeches any president of the United States has ever had to deliver, network behemoths ABC, CBS, and NBC tripped over themselves to provide precious special live coverage Friday afternoon of King Charles III’s first speech as Britain’s new monarch.
Speaking for 23 minutes in front of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pa., Biden called his predecessor out by name when alerting the American people that “Donald Trump and the MAGA republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic.”
