The decision not to carry the speech live is not actually unusual: Networks usually weight the subject matter and context, and all have in the past declined to run speeches from Presidents Biden, Obama and Bush, among others.

Because the headline alone makes this sound like a bigger deal than it is.

Not airing his planned election “adjustments” probably is a big deal.

None of those presidents were as vindictive or as easily triggered as Trump. Not giving him attention is somewhat risky.

None of the other presidents made speeches gathering the world press at the four seasons landscaping, or to promote their new hotel.

Giving him an all access mic at all times is also dangerous.
