Devastating humiliation served to Trump as TV networks snub speech -- for these shows
This snub makes me happy. I was happy to CNN is also snubbing this joke of a speech.
There will be nothing new in this speech. This speech is an attempt for trump to try to steal the midterms using old documents that do not prove his lies.
President Donald Trump was served a heaping helping of humiliation ahead of his primetime address Thursday night, with several major broadcast networks snubbing the planned remarks in favor of a nature documentary and game show.

President Donald Trump was served a heaping helping of humiliation ahead of his primetime address Thursday night, with several major broadcast networks snubbing the planned remarks in favor of a nature documentary and game show.
"NBC and ABC will not carry Trump on their respective networks but will carry on their digital feeds, NBC News Now and ABC News Live. Expect CBS to do the same," Wall Street Journal reporter Joe Flint reported on X, hours before the speech was to begin at 9 p.m. Eastern Time.
It wasn't immediately known if CNN would also snub the address, Flint explained.....
NBC News, according to TV Insider, is scheduled to feature its series "The Americas," a nature documentary narrated by legendary actor Tom Hanks. This week's episode was set to focus on the Gulf Coast and its swamps and wetlands that are home to black bears and alligators.
The network said it planned to broadcast a special report following the address, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
ABC plans to air the Elizabeth Banks-hosted game show "Press Your Luck" during that hour, TV Insider reported.

Proof that MORE and MORE of the county is SICK of his self-aggrandizing CRAP!
(Even the NETWORKS, a fine barometric reading of the nation's sentiment as a whole, have grown horribly tired of "the boy who cried "Wolf!")
(IS TRUMP FINALLY WAKING UP TO THE FACT THAT HE'S NOT THE PRESIDENTIAL EQUIVALENT OF 'The Apprentice" SCHMALTZ?)
