Name any single Presidential speech that the whole world can quote from that wasn’t captured by vetted professional crews meticulously setting up the equipment.

Editorial bias and hostile questions can be edited out later. Hot mike slip ups. Zingers can become memes.

You lose all that if the impartial crews are not capturing the whole thing, unedited, first.

Wanting a vice like grip on the footage just so opponents can’t challenge anything is TOTALITARIAN and goes against the First Amendment values that the USA promotes. Trump doesn’t want a free and independent press, he wants all reporting to be slavishly Pro Trump. The thing about Pravda was, we all could see that it only reported the truth if the Kremlin decided what the truth needed to be.

We in the UK are already caught in that trap. The Left loves Cancel Culture.

Pray that Trump’s repudiation of press and media freedom doesn’t open the door for a Cancel Culture in the USA that gives a future Democrat president more power to eliminate press/media scrutiny than Obama and Biden could ever have dreamt possible.

You sound like an egghead.
