The White House is exasperated with the major broadcast networks ABC, CBS and NBC -- for skipping out on President Barack Obamas Thursday primetime address on his executive actions on immigration.
In 2006, Bush gave a 17 minute speech that was televised by all three networks that was about deploying 6000 national guard troops to the border. Obama is making a 10 minute speech that will have a vastly greater impact on the issue. And none of the networks are doing it. We cant believe they were aggrieved that we announced this on Facebook, a senior administration official told POLITICO.
When the president wants to make a primetime address, White House officials will reach out to the big networks like ABC, NBC, and CBS, to gauge whether they would consider running the speech live before putting in a formal request for airtime.

Make that the warm urban areas. Those folks ain’t comin’ out in the weather in may places right now.

Exactly! The major news networks will do anything to cover Obozo’s backside. There’s no way they’d be doing a black out of the address tomorrow unless the White House asked them to. Having the White House whine about it now is just more subterfuge to fool the gullible. Bah!
I don’t believe for one minute the WH is unhappy about this. The networks are playing along while the WH pretends to be unhappy. It’s only for sure. Networks know this is not a popular event so they have to shield their King. I don’t buy the friction for a minute
unless to laugh hysterically at the fool
IIRC, on two different occasions they gave Obama an hour of prime time to sell Obamacare.
I wonder if they knew of the lies Obamacare was based on. Maybe they don’t want to get screwed again. Maybe they are ready to move on to the next Democrat candidate for 2016, since Obama is basically a lame duck.
I don’t know any AMERICANS who want to watch you illegal alien crap! Take your emperor BS to your Twitter account jackass!
I disagree 100%.
The WH does not want this all over the low information networks. They pretend to bitch but that’s all.
The MSM is protecting Zero. They know, the people DO NOT want this. The more people that see his crappy speech? The worse it is for Obama. So, they decide not to show it ...
Hmmmm...Conspiracy by the Drivebys?
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
Wonder if the “Gentle Giant” riots will merge with the “Hispanic” riots?
Barky’s too arrogant to realize that they’re protecting him.
Funny isn’t it? He complains that they won’t carry address but he never asked them if they would.....what a POS this yob is
Rather see “How To Get Away With Murder” than “How To Get Away With Treason”
“Id think the White Hut would be HAPPY.”
They are deliriously happy that there’s an MSM blackout on this news! Their complaining is nothing but Kabuki Theater.
by not airing the announcement, the left is hoping to mitigate the damage.
so very tired of this lying ass poser on all the time.
please go jump off the top of the white hut and take the shelf ass wookie bitch with ya.,
“Im sure it will be on Telemundo.”
I don’t recall if it was Telemundo or another Spanish language station, but someone on FNC mentioned earlier that they thought Obummer had planned this speech for tonight because the Spanish music or Emmy awards are on. The Spanish channel that will have the awards show refused to carry the speech.
