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.”

    It also requires an educated population who has the ability to use critical thinking.
