Obama Immigration Speech: CBS, Fox, NBC & ABC Not Airing
Yahoo News ^ | 19 Nov 2014 | Dominic Patten

President Barack Obama will finally be making public tomorrow night what his plan is to overhaul immigration. However, while his primetime speech will postpone part of the 15th annual Latin Grammys, it will not be covered by most of the Big 4 – if any of them.

The administration announced today that POTUS will be speaking live from the White House at 8 PM ET on Thursday. ABC has the fall finale for Grey’s Anatomy on at that time while CBS has ratings powerhouse The Big Bang Theory, NBC has reality show The Biggest Loser and Fox has Bones. As of right now, three of those networks will not see any changes in their November sweep schedules due to the speech.

WHy is he doing this? It won’t help - it will just be undone with prejudice as he continues to be ridiculed.

What a silly, unimportant man.

According to NBC, Obama did not even ASK for time, a first ever. But in Univision, the Latin Grammy Awards will be INTERRUPTED mid-show for his speech

My hope is that they will “air” when he is arrested, cuffed and frog-marched into court.

Well, clearly he does NOT want us to hear his stupid speech. And neither do the networks. Except, as you said, Telemundo……...

So Obama is destroying the Constitution and network “news” doesn’t give a fig.

We are Venezuela.

You’re probably right. It would not be especially useful to Obama, at this time, to advertise his latest wreckage of our culture and security.

Speech is timed to coincide with the Ferguson Grand Jury announcement. Obama is hoping his act will be buried by any potential unrest and rioting.

I guess they're trying to do this on the down low as much as possible.

Because when the black voting block find out that they aren't important to the democrats anymore, I'm pretty sure they'll realize they've been had.

If the Ferguson verdict comes in tomorrow, nobody will carry his announcement.

he media is trying to hide that obama is doing executive amnesty even hiding his address to America on this: the tv networks cbs, abc, nbc will not carry obama’s address

but the football player who hit his wife in the elevator that’s news to them. no it isn’t as it is just to distract us from things like this unconstitutional amnesty that Obama will do

the media are the enemy of the American people

Plus, “rebroadcasting” gives the network Obama shills time to edit the speech. We’ll hear the cleaned-up, less anti-American version.

That's incorrect. They're not airing his speech because they want the sheeple to continue watching their bread and circuses shows. If they did air his speech, it would wake people up, and we can't have that.
