A 2014 Obama address on immigration was called too “overtly political" to air by the MSM

Could you imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the Trumpeteers if the media likewise refused to carry Trump's speech?

The irony is that FOX news is the only station they watch anyway. None of the other networks really matter to them.

Obama’s immigration policies were fairly conservative. Censoring a conservative speech is hardly an example of conservativism.

They would like to think so, but the audience who watches primetime TV is shrinking. I do not think putting on an alienating President will help keep eyeballs around. It certainly didn't for me for Obama. I predict no ratings increase projected or in actuality.

OK, sure. I think there will likely be a rather large crowd (I won't be one) as politics has become more of a sport for a lot of people.

Anyway, their choice has nothing to do with political bias as you and ThinkProgress tried to turn it. As I said, the one time they choose not to air Obama was the exception, not the rule.
 
Trump showed mercy toward the two faced Democrats. He could have included video footage of Hillary, Obama, Sanders and others, on record saying the same things about illegal immigration he is now saying. This would have fixed the wagon of fake news and the Democrats. Instead it was short and sweet and he barely rubbed their two faces in their own words.

The Pelosi and Schumer rebuttal was pitiful. Two old stiffs, lying through their teeth, was almost painful to watch. I had to turn it off. My guess is Trump gave the Democrats and fake news a heads up, so they were were less panicked and able to broadcast it.
