Today's Poll Question: Should Media Outlets Air Every Presidential Address Live?

Today's Poll Question: Should Media Outlets Air Every Presidential Address Live?

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Should media outlets air – live – what an American president says will be a major address to the nation? Michael examines the controversy surrounding major television networks declining to air President Trump's recent prime-time address live, arguing that the office of the presidency deserves direct access to the public regardless of political disagreements. Drawing on his own broadcasting philosophy and reactions from callers across the country, he explores whether news organizations should carry presidential speeches in full before offering analysis—or whether extraordinary circumstances justify editorial intervention. The conversation raises larger questions about media responsibility, public trust, journalistic gatekeeping, and whether Americans should decide for themselves what to believe.
