remember how libs screamed for trump's impeachment, on the grounds that he was acting as an agent for russia
(hexbear.net)
remember last week when biden interupted all public air waves for the purpose of personally letting you know that israel totally did not just blow up a hospital in gaza
yeah the fed has emergency powers to broadcast directly to the public during times of turbo mega crisis, biden decided to use this authority (which he never used during covid obv bc lol) to spread misinformation on behalf of the Israeli state department and cover just another banal war crime and act of terrorism by the IDF
Wait this was actually some federal override broadcast? I thought it was just all the main channels that do both news and regular shows (ABC, NBC, CBS, etc) cutting their programming willingly because a speech by the president is "important".
Channels that never show news were interrupted? Like was Cartoon Network interrupted?
huh maybe, im trying to find all the places it was broadcast and its pretty hard to track down
ABC called it a "primetime address" or something and that it's only happened like 7 times in american history, but maybe not a literal federal override thing
That doesn't sound right, Biden alone has given 30 addresses to the nation like that. Unless they mean very particular circumstances.
Even of the more major addresses I can think of there are more than 7
(in no particular order)
Nah cable channels came after this law so they're exempt because they were considered a luxury good
