As expected, Fox will not broadcast President Obama's speech on Wednesday.
Here's a statement from the network: “The Fox Broadcasting Company will not air the Presidential Address to Congress on Wednesday, September 9 at 8:00 PM (ET). FOX’s sister networks, Fox News Channel and the Fox Business Network will air the presidential address in its entirety. FOX will alert viewers with an on-screen graphic at the top of the 8:00 PM (ET) hour that the presidential address is available on Fox News Channel and the Fox Business Network.”
At least we have one TV Station we can watch.
Good for Fox!
RACISM!/s
And the ratings for FOX will stay high or go higher.
And they’ll beat out all of their competitors in that time slot AGAIN.
Happens every time they opt out of airing one of Comrade Obama’s propaganda broadcasts.
Maybe they will replay Palin’s speech at the Republican convention. I’d like that.
They will have the premieres of “So you think you can dance” and their new heavily-promoted series called “Glee” that night. Neither Fox nor their viewers would want to forgo new shows for a boring, re-run of old show.
Though, I would like to know what the president says in his speech to the schoolchildren... transcript would be preferable to hearing it.
Smart move by FOX. Their ratings would take a pretty big hit had they decided to go with Baracko.
...and I will not be broadcasting the speech in my CLASSROOM.
Oh, FOX is in trouble now. /s
Why in the world do all TV networks feel they must carry the same speech? If one wants to watch, surely one outlet would do...and it probably wouldn’t be the most watched network even if it were the only network carrying it.
It never bothered the msm when the major networks refused to carry George Bush’s speeches.
Fox ratings will soar!
Fox is racist!!
Don’t worry, we’ll hear about it.
...and I will not be broadcasting the speech in my CLASSROOM.

Good for you. Do you anticipate getting flack from other teachers for not broadcasting it?
In their quest to prop up their unpopular gawd named obama, the rest of the msm broadcasters will suffer pathetic, PBS-like viewership numbers for the night. Now that’s what I call taking one for their team.
abc, cbs, and nbc must be so sad. No matter how hard they try to resurrect their gawd, they all know he’s nothing but a phony. They ain’t got what it takes to sell this man and his plan to us anymore. And they know obama ain’t got what it takes to lead this country.
If FOX has alternate news channels, why would anyone expect them to tie up the high-viewership non-news channel for this speech?
