Networks Refused To Air Obama's Immigration Speech Live. Now They Must Refuse Trump
On Monday, Donald Trump demanded networks give him airtime for a prime time address from the Oval Office to discuss "what he called the crisis at the southern border."
Since the border is actually secure, this is a made-up crisis by Trump, who is more interested in appeasing right wing extremist AM talk show hosts and Fox News personalities than the 330 million constituents and those federal employees that are not being paid he represents.
The major television networks like CBS, NBC, ABC, and FOX have no obligation to cut into their primetime schedule to air his remarks live and unfiltered. They should not indulge him. In fact, they should do what they did to Barack Obama when HE requested prime time to air his immigration concerns.
