I'd prefer they air it. While it's true that it's just an advertisement for his same old bullshit, it's also important. He should be allowed to further make an ass of himself by any means necessary.
Not carrying it folds into the MAGA narrative and is worse than just showing the thing.
I'll repeat my comment above. I'd rather they cover it the next day or however much time they need to present it fully fact-checked.
Airing it without side by side fact checking is irresponsible with midterms coming up.
I don't disagree with you in principle. That is a better way to handle it overall.
But MAGA will run with "Trump was not allowed to speak on mainstream media", and I'd argue that's worse than being principled here. The reality is more nuanced.
That's a good point. I didn't think of it in those terms.
I definitely don't like it, but I can already hear the MAGAs bitching.
