NBC, ABC and CNN Won’t Carry Trump Primetime Election Speech
Hollywood Reporter ^ | 07 16 2026 | Alex Weprin

Posted on 07/16/2026 4:21:42 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Viewers may have to do a little hunting or channel-surfing if they want to watch tonight’s controversial address to the nation from President Donald Trump.

ABC and NBC will opt to stream Trump’s speech at 9 pm EST on their streaming platforms, rather than carry it live on their networks. ABC says that it will broadcast a special report when the speech concludes.

“ABC News will run President Trump’s speech on ABC News Live and ABC News Radio with comprehensive, anchored coverage,” an ABC News spokesperson says. “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.”

Spokespeople for CBS News and Fox News had not responded to a request for comment, as of this writing.

In other words, after making some edits and comments, they will tell you what THEY want you to hear.

To bad no one has the BALLS to actually do that. Then again why do it, just so some commie foreign POS federal judge will reverse it.

According to Paul Sperry:

Paul Sperry X

"The "really big news" President Trump plans to announce in Thursday's primetime address, according to an administration source who's read a draft of his speech, includes bombshell evidence China interfered in the 2020 election to help Joe Biden win, including hacking into state voter registration databases and stealing information on tens of thousands of voters ostensibly to manufacture mail-in ballots for Biden.

The evidence, which details "alarming vulnerabilities" of election infrastructure, is based on four (4) sets of declassified documents (set for release Friday) which were recently unearthed from suppressed FBI, CIA and ODNI records, according to the well-placed source. The intelligence had been buried in a "massive cover-up" of Beijing's hacking capabilities and influence operations aimed at supporting Biden.

Other vulnerabilities compromising the U.S. election system, according to a draft of the president's speech, include the existence of more than 100,000 non-citizens, including illegal immigrants, on voter rolls."

They are simply despicable. They don’t even pretend to hide their bias.

I wonder how many prime-time addresses for Clinton, Obama or Biden they refused to cover?

Never mind.

Nobody hardly watches them now. They insist on shitting in their mess kit. “That’ll show him!” It is to laugh. Petulant children run these things nowadays

When the kenyan was in office, every channel carried his speeches including HGTV. Not kidding.

Well, as far as I know, CNN is still the only channel on at airports.

Odd.

I recall that every speech from Xlinton, Hussein, and Sleepy Joe were always carried on the networks. Interrupting Prime Time shows.

ABC
NBC
CBS

Last time I was in airports, no one was watching CNN.
They were all looking at their phones.
