АНУ-ын Ерөнхийлөгч Дональд Трамп өөрийн үг хэлсэн илтгэлийг шууд дамжуулаагүй NBC болон ABC телевизүүдийг шүүмжилж, тэдний нэвтрүүлгийн лицензийг цуцлах ёстой гэж мэдэгдэв.
Трамп пүрэв гарагийн орой “сонгуульд хөндлөнгөөс оролцсон” тухай сэдэвт илтгэл тавьсан бөгөөд үүнийг нь NBC болон ABC сувгууд үндсэн сувгаараа шууд дамжуулаагүй юм. Ерөнхийлөгч болон Цагаан ордны Харилцаа холбооны албаны дарга Стивен Ченг нар тус телевизүүдийг үнэнийг нуун дарагдуулсан, хуйвалдааны нэг хэсэг болсон гэж буруутгав. Тус сувгууд илтгэлийг өөрсдийн онлайн платформ дээрээ дамжуулж, илтгэлийн дараа тойм нэвтрүүлэг бэлтгэсэн боловч Трамп үүнийг хангалтгүй гэж үзжээ.
CNN суваг мөн уг илтгэлийг шууд дамжуулаагүй бөгөөд сэтгүүлч Кейтлан Коллинс үүнийг ерөнхийлөгчийн сонгуулийн талаар худал мэдээлэл түгээх хандлагатай холбоотой гэж тайлбарлав. Харин Fox News суваг илтгэлийг бүрэн эхээр нь шууд дамжуулсан байна.
Өөрийн 23 минутын илтгэлдээ Трамп сонгуулийн аюулгүй байдлын талаарх мэдээллийг үндэсний аюулгүй байдлын албаныхан нуун дарагдуулж байна хэмээн буруутгав. Мөн тэрээр БНХАУ-ыг сонгуулийн мэдээллийг хулгайлж, хөндлөнгөөс оролцсон гэж нотлох баримтгүйгээр мэдэгджээ.
Трамп өмнө нь ч өөрт таалагдаагүй мэдээлэл бэлтгэсэн хэвлэл мэдээллийн хэрэгслүүдийн лицензийг цуцлах тухай удаа дараа сануулж байсан юм. АНУ-ын Харилцаа холбооны хорооны дарга Брендан Карр ч мөн телевизүүдийн үйл ажиллагаа болон нэвтрүүлгийн агуулгатай холбоотой маргаанд Трампыг дэмжсэн байр суурьтай байгаа билээ.

President Donald Trump called for NBC and ABC to have their broadcast licenses revoked for not airing his Thursday night speech about “election interference,” accusing the networks of being “part of a plot.”
ABC and NBC covered the speech on their online streaming platforms, with both networks airing special reports summarizing Trump’s remarks once the president concluded, but he still rebuked the news outlets for not airing it on their primary channels.
“In a rare move, NBC and ABC fake news have both said that they would not cover this speech,” Trump said in the evening address. “They and others in the media are part of a plot. They want to continue this fraud for whatever reason…Fraud like this should mean a revocation of their licenses.”

White House communications director Steven Cheung also joined in the attack. “Cowards. NBC and ABC don’t want you to hear the truth,” he said in a post on X. “All they want to do is hide the facts from YOU.”
NBC News NOW, the network’s streaming service, carried the speech live, as did ABC on its ABC News Live platform.
Fox News aired the full speech live, but CNN did not, with Kaitlan Collins explaining to viewers that the network would be “monitoring” what the president said in order to fact check the address.

“We’ll be monitoring what the president says tonight, as we always do, but aren’t taking it live, given the president has a well-documented history of saying blatantly false things about elections,” Collins said.
In the rare primetime address, which lasted approximately 23 minutes, Trump accused unnamed national security officials of hiding information about the security of America’s elections and alleged Chinese efforts to interfere in the 2020 election in which he lost.

Citing no hard evidence, the president claimed American elections are vulnerable “to hacking, exploitation, and foreign interference” and accused the People’s Republic of China of carrying out “the largest compromise of election data in history” by acquiring election data — much of which is commercially available for purchase by political campaigns and other interested parties.
Toward the end of the speech, he launched into the familiar attack against the networks and the media.

“They knew what it was about, because of the fact that they don’t like the topic, because they know how corrupt our system is and they don’t want to reveal it,” he said of ABC and NBC.
The president has repeatedly railed against news outlets over stories he doesn’t like and threatened to revoke broadcasters’ licenses for coverage he deems unfair since returning to the White House. Earlier this year, Federal Communications Commission chairman, Trump appointee Brendan Carr, threatened broadcasters’ licenses amid Trump’s complaints about media coverage of the Iran war.
Carr is also in the middle of a dispute with ABC over its popular talk show The View over whether the program qualifies as a “bona fide news program.” Carr has argued that the program has violated the commission’s equal time rule, which ABC maintained it has long been exempt from.
