Fox News reports that ABC News, NBC News and CNN chose not to broadcast US President Donald Trump's primetime address on election security live, opting instead to continue their regular programming. During the speech, Trump used part of his address to criticise ABC and NBC directly for declining to carry it.
The article, published by Fox News, focuses on the decision by the three networks to skip live coverage rather than detailing the full content of Trump's speech itself. It frames the move as part of an ongoing tension between the Trump administration and major broadcast and cable news outlets over editorial coverage decisions.
