If broadcast networks have a spine, they won't air it


Obama tried to deliver a prime time immigration speech in 2014, and broadcast networks said no because it was too overtly political. Given that this is a manufactured crisis, and not a national security matter, it seems like this is simply a political speech. A true national emergency would mean the speech would need to be tonight, regardless of whether or not there is a college football game. If this speech isn't worthy of bumping a football game, it's not a national emergency. Have a spine broadcast networks, don't air Trump's propaganda unfiltered.
