\n\tIf Donald Trump proved anything with his primetime address Thursday night, it wasn\u2019t that China or Venezuela hacked into America\u2019s voting machines during the 2020 election. It was that Trump, in 2026, couldn\u2019t even hack into an episode of Press Your Luck<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a snub that you can bet the president will be posting about later \u2014 in fact, he couldn\u2019t resist denouncing it during his speech as part of a \u201cplot\u201d \u2014 two of the Big Four broadcast networks declined to interrupt their regularly scheduled programming for Trump. NBC stuck with a rerun of its nature series The Americas<\/em> while ABC aired a new episode of the Elizabeth Banks-hosted game show in which contestants smack a giant button and hope a cartoon Whammy doesn\u2019t steal all their money.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe good news for the President? Fox carried most of the speech live, while CBS \u2014 you know, the network now controlled by David Ellison, son of Trump ally Larry Ellison, with Bari Weiss serving as editor-in-chief of CBS News \u2014 preempted a rerun of the Young Sheldon<\/em> spinoff Georgie and Mandy\u2019s First Marriage<\/em> for a Tony Dokoupil-anchored special report on the address.<\/p>\n

\n\tOf course, broadcasters used to treat primetime presidential addresses as if they were a sacred summons. Ronald Reagan\u2019s speech after the Challenger disaster, George H.W. Bush\u2019s as the Gulf War began, even Jimmy Carter\u2019s \u201ccrisis of confidence\u201d lament \u2014 the networks parted the airwaves to put those Oval Office orations on televisions from coast to coast.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn more recent years, though, broadcasters have become a bit more finicky about letting presidents onto their airwaves \u2014 or at least less predictable about when they\u2019ll agree to preempt. Back in 2014, for instance, all four networks declined to air Barack Obama\u2019s immigration reform address, deeming it too political to bump shows like Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em> and The Biggest Loser<\/em>. Five years later, though, those very same networks all carried Trump\u2019s just-as-political border-wall address, a bummer for fans of pre-empted Black-ish<\/em> and FBI<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tAdding to the muddle with this particular speech, it appears as if the White House never actually made the customary request for network airtime. Trump simply declared he\u2019d be announcing \u201creally big news\u201d and apparently assumed the networks would obediently rearrange their lineups.<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, over on cable news, the coverage couldn\u2019t have been more predictable. On CNN, Kaitlan Collins assembled a desk full of pundits to cover and analyze the speech as it played off-screen, while MSNBC aired the first 17 minutes then cut away for outraged discussion. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tOnly Fox News stayed with Trump until the bitter end, carrying the full speech live and in livid color.<\/p>\n
