CNN refused to broadcast President Donald Trump’s White House address on Thursday, July 16, after his “history of false statements.”
After the move, CNN was hit with a wave of backlash from viewers as many found the move to be a form of censorship. On X, one person wrote, “Unbelievable and unacceptable, no more ‘objectivity’ CNN has no credibility……all news outlets should air any President live AND LET THEIR VIEWERS DECIDE THEIR OWN OPINIONS OF LIVE PRESIDENTS NATIONAL ADDRESSES.”
I don’t disagree, which for us is sometimes ironic. But I would like to emphasize and contrast your own words striving, not being. The sad truth is, even with the best intentions. We can’t avoid or counter what we are unaware of. Even without malice.
But, everyone should absolutely strive to be as unbiased as they can. And at the same time understand that there is only so much they can. As opposed to what we have now. Which is almost completely sensationalized, poorly framed, and often purposefully incomplete.
