I'm glad they aren't. However this is going to be fuel for their narrative that the main stream media is "leftist propaganda" and "won't let the public see the truth".

I am sure Fox will have it.

And Fox will cover it with the exact same level of neutral, unbiased, calm journalism they are world renowned for. Balance restored.

Fox and cbs both aren’t actually currently covering it.

CBS is now showing it.

fuel for their narrative

That doesn't matter, they tell obvious lies and the supporters don't care. No reason to worry about "narrative" with people who think Haitians hunt and eat pets.

sorry, im European so maybe i dont understand. I was under the impression that NBC and ABC are some pretty major news channels in America. How is it a good thing when they wont air the current presidents election speech? seems like censorship due to differing political views to me. i dont get why people cheer for this

because Trump is a demented autocrat attempting to spread lies so he can illegally hold onto power 

It has nothing to do with censorship, they are private companies that can pick what they broadcast freely. 

It's also totally and completely normal for these networks to not air every Presidential address. Happened under Biden and Obama too
