If you really feel that way then lets bring back the fairness doctrine.

And I stand by my claim. I never said it was a LEGAL obligation, I said it was an obligation to the country. It used to go without saying that when the President of the United States wishes to address the nation, the networks give him the airtime to do so.

It's no more worthless than your assumption that you know what "normal" Americans want.

How about neither is on the networks blathering.

It is red meat for Trumps fanbois
and the Dem response catering to theirs

If you want to watch, leave it on the news channels that slant to your taste.

what's the point? cons will shake their heads like children, screaming FAKE NEWS, regardless. trump's words & tone will be on display right in front of their faces, they will be watching & hearing what all the rest of the country will be watching & hearing & they will still scream FAKE NEWS. So why even give trump any airtime? What does it accomplish when in the end, the cons will scream about it, like they always do?

Trump isn't going to convince many people of anything tonight. Neither are the Democrats. 70% of the country does not want a wall. Absent some incredible miracle or absurd meltdown by one side of the other, no minds are going to be changed tonight.

Don't believe that to be true.

So in your opinion winning the Presidency entitles one to unlimited free political time on national prime time tv.
