Broadcast Networks Don't Carry Israeli Prime Minister's Address to Congress
Hollywood Reporter ^ | March 3, 2015 | Tina Daunt

he major American broadcast networks declined to carry live Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to a joint session of Congress boycotted by many leading Democrats Tuesday, and early reaction to the speech in Hollywood seemed to signal a growing disenchantment with the Obama administration foreign policy, particularly the ongoing nuclear negotiations with Iran.

Fox News, MSNBC, CNBC and CNN, did broadcast the address, along with CSPAN. The three major networks, along with multiple U.S. online news outlets, including The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, did live stream the speech on their websites.

But they’re analyzing it.

Feinstein on MSNBC right now.

We are even then because I don't carry their coverage of the whitehouse POS when they broadcast his manure.

CSPAN ; interesting listening to the callers comments .
The great majority of callers , both Dem and Repub praising Netanyahu’s speech .
The detractors tend to be folks who can barely put their words together and and often seem to have a african american accent and are complaining about disrespect to their Preezy .

a few blathering liberal pinheads and Israel haters

There’s no reason for the major networks to suspend their programming when all the news networks are carrying the speech. If people want to watch it, they have plenty of options.

Why carry the whole speech when you can just carry the white house spin instead?

The people who watch network TV at 11 AM are the people who watch the “who bees yo daddy” or the “i be cheatin on you wiff yer sista wile she be cheatin on me wiff your daddy” show. Those people wouldn’t be able to watch a speech by a man who speaks English flawlessly and makes sense.
They wouldn’t understand the first word.

They missed a great speech, and upped the ratings for Fox News.

“Feinstein on MSNBC right now.”

A flock of ‘RAT Turds” Lead by some Ahole by the John Yarmuth are “giving the RAT response on all the networks as this is being written. It looks like a freak show with that looney fag from Oregon with his DayGlo bicycle lapel pin in the BG.

The correct term is ? The major networks are “ censering “ BiBi’s speech with their own version of this administration’s propaganda.

Why in the world would they broadcast address by foreign leader. I find it strange that foreign head of government would be invited to address out Congress.

People that watch daytime television care more about watching Judge Judy or reruns of Jerry Springer than what's going in congress. That's how Hussein Obama got elected.

Legions no longer rely on the dinosaur network broadcasts for their news or entertainment.
Try as they might to remain relevant, the truly informed managed to watch Bibi demonstrate to the world what true statesmanship and love of one’s country looks like.
Like me, there are many that will no longer be conned by these marxist con artists. As Bibi said, ‘never again’!

Watched in on Fox. It was available for anyone who wanted to watch. Dems made fools of themselves with their talking points after the speech.

Feinstein was at the speech. I saw a democrat don’t know who it was but he did not go to the speech but he was making statements about how condescending it was. I watched the speech and it was NOT condescending at all. In fact he actually said a few nice words about Dirty Harry Reid and the one who shall not be named.

I would like to trade our current president for Bibi.
