Sorry, but I completely disagree. This hurricane is an ongoing natural disaster. His speech on immigration can wait, and can be covered or shown in full another time. Fox made the right call to cut away from the speech, it wasn't that important in comparison to the hurricane. We still don't have a good sense of how bad it was, or how well it turned out.

No, you are wrong. The whole world does not stop because of a hurricane and there are plenty of news reports on the hurricane.

Just another way to temper what and when the public hears the news.

FreeRepublic is giving far better coverage of the hurricane and all other news IMHO.

It was a prime example of the media screening what the American public hears.

I totally agree. I can't imagine what President Bush was thinking of, trying to tack a statement about immigration onto the end of a statement about a hurricane which is likely to kill upwards of a thousand people. Fox did him a favor by cutting him off -- too bad they weren't running with a few seconds delay, so they could have cut him off before anyone heard it.
