I have another recording that I guess will confirm this. "Abbott" usually runs over but surely they made it end on time, but I'll check anyway.

President's Televised Address

That's his standard reading voice, I think. I think it makes him sound stupid (which is quite a statement, given the stupidity he's prone to spewing when he's off-script).

I didn't watch the presidential address, but I'm pretty sure this wasn't brought up in his speech. It probably won't happen, but it's out there...
www.nbcnews.com
Trump says it's 'not possible' for the U.S. to pay for Medicaid, Medicare and day care: 'We’re fighting wars'
Trump urged states to fund benefits programs instead because "we have to take care of one thing: military protection."

When one can’t read above a second-grade level, if that, attempting to say words is hard.
Abbott was there in full here in the Central Time Zone
Oh I get that. But there are lots of posts here with nothing but political statements. Case in point:
There's a lot of actual talk about television, too, but it's unfortunate to have to read through all the political mumbo-jumbo on here. It's getting old.
You're right, of course.
Fortunately everyone here seems to be quite civil about it for the most part. I've seen it in other forums where someone starts talking political, then someone else disagrees, and pretty soon everyone's fighting and arguing to the point where the thread has to be locked down and many posts deleted because people couldn't behave themselves.

I don't know...it can get pretty nasty here. Case in point, the thread about a WABC right wing host that got shut down, after a moderator was called a racist among other things.
What I mean is it normally runs past 9. Or 8 for you.
That happens here too. Or did. Political discussions aren't being allowed.
It is quite literally a political speech, by a polititcian. Unclear to me how any discussion would not contain "political mumbo-humbo" as you put it. Given the nature of the original post, if you don't want to entertain that there will be political discussion you probably should move on to other posts- looks like there are several dozen other active threads going on right now on this board. In comparison to most of the rest of the internet, this discussion is extremely mild and civil.
How did TV and radio cover the President's sweary rant on his Truth website? The BBC broadcast the language in full with a warning, while some other stations just referred to it as "expletive laden".
Personally, I think the importance of knowing the President of the United States is using such language in public statements outweighs the importance of people not being offended while listening to the news, so I err on the side of broadcasting the language where it is a direct quote of something said.

The issue is not that this is a topic about a politician and a political program. If comments were restricted to broadcast it would be fine but there are those who can't seem to follow rules. Calling someone stupid or can't read above a second grade level is NOT commenting on the broadcast but simply spreading hate for the sake of doing so. And I agree, it gets tiring.

The president's address last week seemed to drive down ratings from the preceding hour. Interrupting entertainment shows like Survivor may get you a lot of attention for a few minutes, but the 9PM hour had fewer viewers than 8PM.
The president will hold a press conference today, Monday, at 1PM. No word on if the networks will pre-empt for coverage:

'High demand' from media forces Trump to move Iran rescue conference to White House press briefing room
The president will hold a press conference with military officials on Monday at 1 PM ET to detail one of the most audacious rescue operations in recent U.S. history.

The threats of massive war crimes are more important than the profanity
NPR this morning just referred to his post as being "laden with expletives."
And, of course, this is not the first time he's done this. During Mr. Trump's first term in office, he referred to certain African and Caribbean nations as being "s**thole countries,", most likely referring to the color of the skin of a majority of their citizens. In that case, NPR played the entire quote (he said it at a White House briefing, if memory serves) only once and with plenty of warning beforehand for those who didn't want their children to hear it. (The network didn't cover the briefing live.)
There was no recording of the original statement because it was said during a closed-door meeting. Trump and his administration denied he actually said the word, until he finally admitted and repeated it a few months ago:
Except for a few places where high net worth individuals can qualify for citizenship by investing millions, elsewhere it takes years to become a citizen of another country.
When I was in Ecuador, I studied and fulfilled certain steps to get citizenship. After 5 years, I was still several years away from qualifying. And that was not even a country where most people want to go and live.
