White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt made it crystal clear: ABC and NBC violated the On-Air Broadcast Charter of 1972, and they will face the full weight of the United States Government for it. They will pay dearly.
These networks get their airtime for free from the American people with one simple responsibility β to serve the public interest. Refusing to broadcast a presidential address is a direct violation of that long-standing agreement.
They chose politics over their legal and moral obligation. Now the consequences are coming.
Coca-Cola and General Motors already pulled their ads. The government is next. ABC and NBC are about to learn that you donβt get to take the publicβs airwaves and then refuse to use them when it actually matters.
Unfortunately, some posters repost content from X, Instagram and other social media accounts that do little more than repost - often word-for-word - unvetted, unsourced, and often "old-posted-as-new" content scraped from (a group of) other accounts with the same m.o. (thereby misleading users into believing those "happenings" just occurred when they actually haven't).
This is the hammer coming down.

The free ride is over.π₯π₯π₯
I'm going to need sources for this one
I'm going to need more popcorn!
This has been refuted as fake news, unfortunately. I wish it were so, but alas.
This is false, frens! If you google "On-Air Broadcast Charter of 1972", there is literally no info at all.
^ removal reason
You the best!!!
Yup, stuff like this should be removed.

Consider this. Shutting down ABC will hurt Disney which owns it. Likewise, shutting down NBC will hit the bottom line for GE, Westinghouse, and AT&T.
Shut the fucksticks down and take their licensing
With two networks going down, the public will be less distracted. Hopefully, it will also serve as a red pill moment.
