ABC News BLURS Trump message during Mar-a-Lago speech last night


 

Many networks carried Trump’s speech last night after his arraignment yesterday but only one blurred out part of his message.

I checked several other networks and it appears ABC News was the only one to blur Trump’s message on his podium about texting him.

ABC News cut away from the former president’s speech as he was delivering a favourite recent addition to his stump speech, claiming that Joe Biden would provoke an “all-out nuclear World War 3.”

During the speech, Mr Trump sounded familiar notes, claiming he did nothing wrong.

“The only crime that I have committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it,” Mr Trump said, while claiming “our country is going to hell.”

He also repeated his attacks on Juan Merchan, the judge presiding over his case, as well as the official’s family.

“I have a Trump-hating judge, with a Trump-hating wife and family, whose daughter worked for Kamala Harris and now receives money from the Biden-Harr,” Mr Trump continued.

Earlier in the day, the New York judge warned Mr Trump from making statements that incited unrest or targeted public officials during his criminal case. The former president and his family have been publicly attacking officials tied to the probe for days.

Cable news channels were scrutinised for the copious air time they gave to Donald Trump during the 2016 election, sometimes carrying live shots of empty podiums over showing other candidates or news stories.

Research suggests Mr Trump dwarfed other candidates when it came to winning free or “earned” media, at times garnering nearly triple the rate of his next-highest contender, Hillary Clinton.
