And the press is beginning to whine about that too.
I think the reason may be that to do a televised speech, he has to ask for airtime. The networks used to generally give it, but they don't always. He does not want to put himself in a position of having to ask anyone for anything.
And maybe he doesn't do it because he knows it drives the press and libs crazy. for that reason alone I love that he doesn't do televised speeches. Of course, I'm sorry for those who don't have internet or don't know how to watch online. That is a valid concern.
We could all volunteer to hold a teaching session at our local libraries to show all the blue hairs how to do it?...Nah, the libraries are too lib, they wouldn't let us do it if they knew it was to help Trump connect with the people. But, in a perfect world..
And, between rallies and tweets, he addresses ‘us’ without having to go to begging for time.
I'm not sure how that works, you're right if he has to request it, they can refuse. Wonder if that ties in with the emergency alert service mentions in Q posts, and speculation that would be used. I can only think that would be an extreme measure. Perhaps he could get air time with a regular radio address - just thinking it would be another channel for the truth. It would be interesting to see him put the networks on the spot and ask for airtime and then have them try to explain their denial.
I think FR's a pretty good example that a lot of the 'blue-hairs' do fine on this internet thing. (not me ;))
The media doesnt want POTUS to give an address, they merely want a chance to tee off on him by pontificating their talking points, fake fact chevking him live, and having a pre/post speech propaganda symposium at POTUS expense. JMO
