If a tree falls in an isolated forest but no one hears it, does it still make a sound? If the United States, under President Donald J. Trump (R), celebrates American Independence Day, the 4th of July, with a powerful display of pride and patriotism in the nation's capital but the so called major networks refuse to televise it live, did it happen?
It's a worthy question because that's what the big networks are planning to do.
While scientists and philosophers may dispute the answer to the former question, the answer to the latter is a resounding "yes!" Oh sure, the major broadcast networks, ABC, CBS and NBC, have other plans for those hours but might live stream parts of the festivities on their alternative sites. And cable news channels CNN and MSNBC, proving why their viewership is tanking, ignoring the major celebration will continue with their previously planned programs, maybe, maybe interrupting them if there is what they consider major news.
Meanwhile, Fox News, which "dominates" cable news, plans to air the entire spectacular, including Trump's speech at the Lincoln Memorial, the flyovers and more. Hmm, is there a connection between Fox's network executives' thought processes, which understands the importance of airing the entire event live, and their increased ratings? Hmm. PBS and C-SPAN will also broadcast the multiple events.

I suppose the Lame Stream Media will play re-runs of the democrat present debates.
Genius Trump has positioned the MSM and Dems as American-hating crazies with this parade. Brilliant move.
NEVER watch the big networks again. See how they like them apples.
OANN is actually covering a great deal of the celebration in DC.
But CNN did not authorize me viewing this.
I haven’t watched TV in about 15 years and I don’t miss it.
Me and the family are very excited.
Can’t stand the wait.
What a great day.
What time does it start?
No competent scientist disputes the answer - a tree colliding with the ground as a consequence of gravitational acceleration will generate pressure waves in the surrounding atmosphere which will propagate from the source outwards. That is what physicists call sound.
My favorite response to the philosopher's view is the likely apocryphal answer to the single exam question posed to students in a class at Harvard - prove that the chair in the center of this room exists.
Answer - if that chair does not exist then this exam does not exist and I am going to go out into the fresh air and enjoy my non-existent day.
NEVER watch the big networks again.
Works for me.
Is RSBN the only outfit covering the parade?
I haven’t watched network TV in years. I make an exception for major golf tournaments. If I’m listening to the radio I turn it off at the top of the hour so I don’t have to hear the lies/news.
6:30 p.m.
Dang, do you have a Flux Capacitor? Doc? Doc, is that you?
Lola, :-D

I thought someone said that CSPAN will carry it live.
Thank you.
OAN is broadcasting it.
