Is that something that happened over there? He interrupted the airwaves?

yeah the fed has emergency powers to broadcast directly to the public during times of turbo mega crisis, biden decided to use this authority (which he never used during covid obv bc lol) to spread misinformation on behalf of the Israeli state department and cover just another banal war crime and act of terrorism by the IDF

Wait this was actually some federal override broadcast? I thought it was just all the main channels that do both news and regular shows (ABC, NBC, CBS, etc) cutting their programming willingly because a speech by the president is "important".

Channels that never show news were interrupted? Like was Cartoon Network interrupted?

Nah cable channels came after this law so they're exempt because they were considered a luxury good
