33. I'm surprised (and frightened) by this.

It was termed as a “major” address, and when I saw it wasn’t going to be a WH event with press I thought for sure the networks would cover it. Nope. ABC usually has the afternoon events, but it has Press Your Luck on tonight.

Broadcast media are definitely showing they are a part of the problem. Keeping people mindlessly entertained while the country burns. As I said, this is a consequential speech, giving a warning. It is not everyday POTUS speaks like this.

Just what would be important enough to merit their attention, I wonder?
