It seems obvious that a cable news channel choosing not to show a lengthy speech in its entirety does not violate the First Amendment. However, Liz Harrington, a spokesperson for former President Donald Trump, hasn't seemed to have gotten the memo.
On Tuesday night, Trump announced his 2024 presidential run in an hour-long speech from his Mar-a-Lago residence. In the lead-up to the speech, Harrington appeared on right-wing news station Real America's Voice. During the discussion, host Steve Bannon asked Harrington if stations like Fox or CNN are going to "cover this live" or "still going to try to embargo" the speech or "shut him down."
