US Cable Networks Exit as President Ruto Speaks at White House, Except CNN International(Video)
President William Ruto arrived at the White House in Washington, DC, on Wednesday, May 22, continuing his three-day historic visit to the United States.
President Joe Biden welcomed Ruto to the White House, marking a significant occasion. Upon arrival, Ruto addressed the press and Americans alongside Biden.
American channels faced criticism for their coverage of President Ruto’s speech, with many of them choosing to cut away from commercials as soon as Ruto began speaking.
A video compiled by CNN international correspondent Larry Madowo and shared online revealed this pattern, where most prominent news channels introduced President Ruto before taking a break.
This action sparked reactions among Kenyan netizens, with some interpreting it as a form of discrimination or censorship, while others saw it as a response to Ruto’s perceived tendency to spread misinformation.
