I'm sure the partisan media won't interrupt programming to allow Bush the opportunity to escape their filter to the American people.

People get their news elsewhere anyway.

I don't. I just found out last week that Jessica Simpson wasn't a famous cartoon character.

I'm with you. I watch Sci-Fi stuff on TV, and the morning weather, and that's about it.

Why is this even a story? I've never understood why the president's speeches need to be on ABC NBC CBS FOX FOXNEWS MSNBC CNN CSPAN CSPAN2 CSPAN3 CNNHN TELEMUNDO WB UPN CNBC all at the same time. I'm personally interested in the president's speeches so I'll tune to them.

Well this is a tough one. If they tell the WH to reschedule, then it may interfere with some other top-notch program. Best thing would be for the President to hold off on press conferences until the summer is here to make sure there are no problems.

More details...

The White House scheduling of President Bush's formal press conference tomorrow night at 8:30 PM ET has thrown FOX-TV and its top-rated AMERICAN IDOL into chaos, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

FOX executives on Monday afternoon wrestled over whether to postpone this week's lucrative live IDOL showdown for the White House.

The Bush 8:30 PM press conference is set to run approximately 45 minutes, leaving a non-interrupted IDOL hour a scheduling impossibility during FOX's 8 to 10 PM primetime block.

IDOL commands the largest audience in television, with audience levels passing 23 million in recent weeks.

One top executive argued Monday afternoon that the show should go forward -- with an on-screen disclaimer directing viewers to FOX NEWS channel for Bush coverage.

No final decision has made as this transmits.

Gives 'She Bangs' a whole new meaning. Or not. Anyways, after William Hung's 15 minutes of fame is up, he does have the perfect name for a porn star.

I know you're being sarcastic, but it isn't all that funny. I don't want AI interrupted for anything save a nuclear strike.
