Do all major networks execs know they should have carried the speech, of course they do.

But like I have said before due to the mainstream media being labeled "liberal" back in the 60s ever since they have had to treat the Republican Party like the only game in town and give as little attention to the Democrats as possible otherwise they fear they will be called liberal again.

They will keep doing this and we may well perish as a result.

Fortunately YT and social media is as or more important now, so we can HOPE the people who need to see it, do.

1. Typically the White House asks the networks for time.

I do not believe they did for this speech. The January 6th committee better. September is a big month for network tv. I don’t think they will show as easily as in the summer when repeats are on without being asked.

2. it's a political speech. important certainly. partisan as well nt

4. Nope, NOT political...NOT about repub vs dem...this is RIGHT VS WRONG

NOTHING to do with politics.

A political speech talks about how much the rich should pay in taxes or what foreign policy should be etcetera, asking people to stand up to fascism is not politics.

5. Agree. nt

3. The people who most need to see this likely have neither cable nor internet, sadly.
