When OBAMA addressed the nation on immigration, the networks REFUSED to air it. . .
. . . on the grounds that it was "too partisan".

It is always infuriating when reporters give the president an open mic to ramble without fact-checking. But even more problematic than this, as Vox points out, is that in 2014, President Barack Obama addressed the nation during primetime to discuss his executive orders protecting young immigrants, and the networks all refused to air the address on the grounds that it would be too partisan:
Conservative pundits were, at the time, pushing the notion that Obama was essentially seizing power like a Latin American dictator, so essentially anything that refocused the conversation on banal policy details would have played to his advantage. TV networks, however, didn’t give him what he wanted, in part because it was November sweeps time, but officially because he was playing partisan politics rather than addressing a true national emergency.
Moreover, Vox notes, the networks did give airtime to President George W. Bush in 2006 to discuss immigration — and his position was essentially the same as Obama’s. It is difficult to escape the conclusion that the networks are simply more willing to give Republicans the floor than Democrats, which is also backed up by the heavy imbalance towards conservatives in Sunday talk show lineups.

When no one watches the orange shitstain, maybe they will get the picture. Saying this over and over again seems like I'm pleading to a zombie horde entranced by a dumpster fire... oh, wait. 
People used to complain because he "sought attention" when he was in office. 
Some days I just want to break stuff. 
I heard him tell what he accomplished every chance he got. He had to.. the damn M$$$M wasn't going to.
I was on The Obama Diary everyday .. they chronicled his whole Admin.. It was brilliant!
we had to find sites that were supportive of what he and his peeps.. and Michelle were trying to do.
Right now we have tough challenges, the toughest.. but look what's been accomplished in the last two years.
We have hope now ... against the monster Fraud who's trying to destroy our world. I wish I were exaggerating.
