Because they can . . . (And because they are Democrat Co-Conspirators).

NYT

quote:

ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC — confirmed receiving the White House request on Monday for Mr. Trump to speak during the 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time slot, but producers had not decided whether to grant him the time. Pre-empting prime-time coverage is an expensive proposition for television executives, who have sold millions of dollars’ worth of advertising against entertainment programming.


Didn’t Barry get a prime time spot to announce he was deciding to ignore enforcing immigration law and his constitutional duty because feelings?

It was prime time.

And they all wet themselves about how brave he was doing a campaign ad targeted to SJWs and Illegals.

It's not like President Trump has abused this privilege over the past 2 years. The bought-and-paid-for Deep State media is simply doing whatever they can to project an aura of illegitimacy regading this President & his presidency.

Total bullshite.


PS - I wouldn't be surprised to see them broadcast the speech, and then give Pelosi or Reid 15-20 minutes for rebuttal (which obtw, has never been done before for an address of this nature. The SOTU is different).

MSM is pure propaganda. That's a fact.

I wish he would have picked tomorrow. I'm not going to be able to watch this during the Bama game.

Fake news. You didn't even try to Google, but why should anyone expect that from you.

Why major US TV networks didn't show Obama's immigration address

quote:

On Thursday evening, President Obama took to the airwaves to present his plan for immigration reform to the American people. Unfortunately, many of the American people were not able to find him.

At 8pm, instead of seeing the president outlining his long-awaited overhaul of one of the country’s most hotly debated issues, ABC viewers were treated to an episode of Grey’s Anatomy. Those tuning in to CBS were presented with an episode of The Big Bang Theory; Fox network viewers saw Bones; and viewers tuning to NBC were be able to enjoy The Biggest Loser: Glory Days.

When I’m wrong I admit it

I did watch Obama give the speech live. Maybe I’m confusing it with his “Syria” speech (cough) capitulation.

Regardless. This is the exact right move from POTUS and if these media types actually cared about immigration - they would air it. I hope they do and I am wrong again.

And that's the end of this thread.

I appreciate your humility, it's rare for Trump supporters.

Just try Googling stuff before you post, I make a habit of it... just takes a few seconds.

I am humble. There is nobody that is more humble than me. Ask anybody. All the other posters can't hold a candle to my incredible humbleness. What makes me great is that I'm so humble when so many others aren't.

Reid is on his death bed right now. He's not going on tv anymore.

Not that Google is totally objective in their efforts too, though . . . .
Just my humble opinion . . . .
Carry on, please.

Your post literally says why they won't air it. They already sold the ads and it's too expensive. So disingenuous.

That's just one of the many good things about the Trump admin, he doesn't need primetime slots on those channels to get his message across.

Between TrumpTv, YouTube, live streams, twitter, messageboards, conservative radio, and the 24-hour news networks constantly on Defcon 1 over anything he says - he gets his message through to anyone who pays attention.

It's comical that these networks think they can squash his speech by not airing it (which they probably will anyway).

Looks like you have a bad case of BODS.

Turn off the FauxNews and pick up a book...or a drink.

Relax.

everything is a repeat tonight anyway so there is no excuse for the networks. breaking into Amy and Sheldon's wedding won't piss anyone off. It is old.

911 on Fox may be new...
