Network TV Blackout on Obama’s Amnesty Address:
SHTFplan ^ | November 19 2014 | Mac Slavo

Posted on 11/20/2014 10:48:09 AM PST by Sons of Union Vets

Thursday evening will mark a momentous announcement from President Obama concerning his hugely controversial executive order to “shield” and otherwise legalize millions of ‘undocumented’ illegal immigrants living in the United States.

But is this tide turning presidential address scheduled to be carried live on TV for all the country to witness?

No. It seems that the big four networks – ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox – have all opted out of broadcasting the 15 minute speech, instead airing their November sweeps shows as scheduled in hopes of maximizing viewer ratings:

It is my understanding, the WH never sought air time from the networks to air the announcement. I don’t think the WH wants Americans to see this. At a minmum, Obama doesn’t care.

I’ll bet you could find it on Univision. Of course, you’d need subtitles.

They are protecting him. The average American does not want to know that their president is destroying the borders and the country.

Bill O just announced he will provide analysis from both sides, after the speech.

It's not about boosting ratings, it's about keeping Americans uninformed of what he's doing.

In other words, "lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. Basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter."

“They are protecting him. The average American does not want to know that their president is destroying the borders and the country.”

The average American would probably be more PO’d about having their program interrupted than the actual speech.

They are helping him by not broadcasting it. Hiding it from many American’s who don’t keep up with politics. Pure & Simple. Aiding and Abetting.

That figures. Ted Baxter who is for amnesty and basically agrees with Obama on this. He was haranguing Greg Abbott about it last night.

That’s it exactly. Bad optics to let the bread-and-circuses crowd to see and hear the evidence.

Such total bs. The nets are not carrying this horrific “speech” because they have been ORDERED not to by the WH.

I’m somewhat suspecting that our new “Ebola Czar,” Klain, has actually been appointed to squelch not only Ebola news but all the news from the “transparent” WH.

And the timing is suspect too…tomorrow will SURELY be the day Ferguson announces the decision not to put officer Wilson on trial. So THAT will suck all the oxygen out of the networks and Obama’s true mission to overrun the US with foreigners will pass almost unnoticed.
