Why do news networks cut away from President Trump mid-speech

They consider it misinformation with no merit and airing it would be against their journalistic duty to provide accurate information to the public. Trump's comments are unfounded and meant to sow discord rather than inform. Honestly I find it both troubling and saddening that the president of the country is trying to undermine the democratic right of the people to vote.

Because they don’t want people to know.
It’s like burning books. They don’t want the people to be aware of that information.
TMZ airs celebrities speaking nonsense all the time. They’re not cut away from for “misinformation.”

Yes that, too.
What they’re alleging might be bs. Maybe it’s misinformation. But assuming that’s the case, cutting away from the office of the President saying this is like the twin towers being hit and cnn cutting away. They’re not covering a very major story.

It’s not even “misinformation.” It’s a accusation. It’s a legal case. That in itself Is a story.
“Misinformation” is if there was a shooting in Georgia, but the media reports it was in Canada.
Trump is shining for voter fraud, so that’s the story, not that there was voter fraud, but that Trump is
Suing for voter fraud.
If this is misinformation, then every #MeToo accusation was misinformation.
Like I said, they do not want people to know what Trump suspects.

— 5 years ago(November 14, 2020 01:27 PM)You continue to be an imbecile . Misinformation and allegation are not mutually exclusive. If a random woman falsely accuses you of rape in Mizzou while you were hanging out in Indiana at the time she claims it happens and tells Fox news that is both an accusation and disinformation. There is overlap between the two , but you can’t formulate arguments without conjuring up false dichotomies because you suck at critical thinking.

— 5 years ago(November 11, 2020 10:10 PM)Because it undermines a U.S election by making baseless accusations. The media is cutting away from it to protect themselves legally not because they have some collective agenda against Trump. Even a few of his supporting stations cut away.

….
So you don’t think it’s a story if the sitting President makes allegations, particularly those that are patently outrageous?
Ridiculous. What exactly are you afraid of if they actually show the news? Trump lost the election. The fact that he says otherwise IS a story.

That is exactly the story. The president is lying to the public and his lies have already caused a significant portion of the population to believe the election is stolen. The media understands how damaging this is to the country so they choose not to be used by him to further spread his lies. The 4th estate's job is to inform the public and hold government to account, what Trump is doing is deliberately misinforming.

Perhaps they're trying to apply the same concept for discouraging dogs from behaving in undesirable ways. Put the dog in its crate and ignore it. For Trump, not having an audience is like a dog being ignored by it's owner. The cold isolation might drive Trump bonkers
