Michelle Obama tapes to be aired any day/time from now: API and Fox News Network

The Michelle Obama tapes to be aired any day/time from now: API and Fox News Network (USA) in a final agreement on the airing days/time. Posted by africanpress on October 29, 2008

A final agreement has been reached between African Press International (API) and Fox News Network (USA) on the dates to air the Michelle Obama tape arising from a discussion Mrs Obama had with the API two weeks ago. The show will take place any day/time from now, with a 15 minutes alert on when it is to take place. Other programmes will be interrupted. This is a precaution taken to avoid interference from any quarter.

In the agreement, Fox News Network will broadcast 39 minutes of the 54 minutes long tape. The whole tape cannot be aired unedited due to security reasons and especially due to the explosive political temperature in the country because of the Presidential elections that is just around the corner, November 4th.

The tape will be aired in two portions by two separate units in the Network. API’s representative will appear live in one of the shows.

The parties have agreed that the information to be released to the public on the agreement will not include the naming of the units at Fox News Network that will air the tapes in order to avoid outside pressure and influence of any kind before the show has taken place. Nondisclosure of the name of the shows that will air the tapes has become necessary due to pressure from groups interested to block the release of the contents to the public.

Due to a huge interest in the tapes shown by some private individuals, groups belonging to some political camp(s) and persons connected to a section of an intelligence network, it has been decided that the 54 minutes long unedited tape is to be kept outside the United States in safe custody of one of API’s Lawyers based in Ontario, Canada.

The day and time schedules of the broadcast will only be announced 15 minutes before the Show begins in order to avoid attempts to block the Show from airing the tapes.

Any pressure from any outside forces that may want to know the exact day and time schedule of the Show before-hand or any other details in the agreement will get no answers to their requests either from API or Fox News Network.

The decision to have the above information public was a difficult one due to the sensitivity of the case and huge interest against, and for, the release of the contents of the tape for public consumption.

From Jeff Schreiber:

I spoke with Philip Berg this afternoon as he sat in his office, awaiting a crew from Fox News Channel in New York. While interest in his lawsuit among those at Fox has been steadily mounting over the past few days and weeks, Berg does not know exactly in what capacity the end product of the taping will be used.

Yeah, and the Tooth Fairy bring the “tapes” from Norway to NYC to deposit them in the studios of FoxNews.

C’mon, be real. FoxNews emphatically denied they had anything to do with API and the clowns at API have no credibility after teasing about this for weeks. They are right up there with Nigerian email scammers promising you millions of dollars if you will just wire another $5K for “expenses”......

It will be aired by fox for two of the next 3 days. Fox just allowed API to announce the story on its site.

If there actually is a tape, I will gladly eat my words. Until then, API, put up or shut up.

Somebody informed API how things work at Fox. Some of it actually seems plausible.

Danae, from someone who has spent alot of time in TV newsrooms in my younger days, the wording of this release and the logistical details simply don’t have the ring of truth. Fox News would be the one to make a release of details on it’s own programming, not some organ like API.
A fifteen minute warning prior to airing sounds like some kid dreaming-up a scenario from his basement computer. One, Fox News Channel is not a broadcast network that needs to warn affiliates of an upcoming major event, it simply runs with it and repeats as many times as they can get it in between commercials.

Actually I always thought Ian McDiarmid, (at least as Senator Palpatine), bore an uncanny resemblance to Joe Lieberman.

People tell me I resemble McDiarmid, too. I dunno to quite how to take that.

Their “explosive nature” is exactly WHY people have a right to hear them.
