So CNN could refuse to air them again?

Two comedians, one of whom intends it
Besides the difficulties this would cause reporters who are already busy investigating the Biden tapes — where would they find the time or the resources to do both stories justice? — there’s this problem:
CNN began airing less and less of the initial task force briefings this past spring after "CNN Tonight" anchor Don Lemon called on the network to not air them live. After Lemon sent his message, the network would often avoid carrying remarks by the president, instead cutting in to hear from medical experts like Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx.
Even after the White House temporarily revived the briefings in July, CNN chose to skip the president's remarks. Other times, the networks would skip the briefing altogether.
"CNN literally stopped showing them as soon as Trump started to talk. Shut all the way up, man," Washington Examiner social media producer Claude Thompson told Stelter.
"And if he were doing it, CNN would decide not to run them," RedState senior editor Joe Cunningham shot back.
"Even if he did, how would the CNN viewers know?" journalist Tatjana Pasalic quipped.
What’s a quip to some is the sad truth to others.
