Obama Immigration Speech: CBS, Fox, NBC & ABC Not Airing
2014-11-20
[DEADLINE] 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 â 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 Greyâs 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.

While Obamaâs speech will be seen on their cable news siblings, Fox and NBC are not carrying it live on their broadcast networks tomorrow night. CNN, along with Fox News and MSNBC, will be showing the speech live. A CBS News division spokesperson says the network will also not be showing Obamaâs approximately 15-minute address on Thursday night. The broadcast networks were not asked for time by the administration, sources tell me. The time zone difference will see NBC, CBS as well as ABC adding coverage of Obamaâs immigration speech to the West Coast versions of their national nightly news shows.

#14  Something to hide? As usual MSM complicit. Revolution comes, they are first to hang.

#13  I agree wid RUSH LIMBAUGH's statement on FREEREPUBLIC, i.e. the [OWG Globalist?]Obama intends to transform America into something it was never founded on.

Youse can add, "... ... And widout having to formally ask the consent of either our Mighty GOP-DEM Unitarian Congress, nor the Electorate aka the US/Amer Voters aka Mainstream Amerika aka Socialist-beloved "the People" or "Will of the People", etc. iff they like it or not, want it not.

OWG GLOBALISM = HOWEVER ROUGHLY, OWG CO-SUPERPOWER AMERIKA WILL JUST BE ONE US-STYLE WORLD CO-SUPERPOWER AMONG MANY US-STYLE CO-SUPERPOWERS.

Starting officially in Feb 2015, the US will begin transferring parts of its formerly "Nationalist" Sovereignty to the higher OWG + NAU, plus also the TPP + TAP, etc. sub-entities now + future. WID THE FORMAL TRANSMITTAL OF SOVEREIGNTY TO THE NEW OWG NAU, ETC. BY DEFINITION WILL ALSO COME TRANSMITTAL OF SOVEREIGN DEBT.

OWG NAU > USA = MEXICO = CANADA, ETC. Unfortunately for the Globies, AFAIK there is no common overt or formal agreement between the US + Canada + Mahico/Azteca, etc. as to how ALL of their sovereign national debts will be paid by the new OWG NAU + related Polity(s).

THE OWG MIGHTY USSA = OWG WEAK USRoA GLOBAL SSR IS TO BEGIN GIVING UP ITS FORMERLY NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY TO THE NEW OWG NAU, ETC. AT ROUGHLY THE SAME TIME IT IS TO UNILATERALLY PULL BACK OR FALL BACK FROM ITS HISTORICALly DOMINANT STRATEGIC POSITION FROM AROUND THE WORLD.

Again, the Globies have yet to answer just how much Power-n-Authority/Influence is the Cold War + post Cold War Sole-Superpower USA supposed to unilaterally or asymetrically give up to newbie fellow OWG Co-Superpowers, e.g. CHINA + RUSSIA + IRAN + ....??? to come, + Third-Party NGOS, e.g. ISIS/ISIL + Qead Boyz = Soon-to-be-Nukulaar-wid-Western-Help ISLAM, RADICAL ISLAM, HARD BOYZ, + GLOBAL JIHAD, + WIDOUT BEING EXISTENTIALLY THREATENED OR DESTROYED BY SAME???

E.G. AS PER CHINA IFF THE USA IS TO BE UNILATER VOLUNTARILY ISOLATED OR CONTAINED TO 1/2 OF THE PACIFIC = HAWAII + US WEST COASTS = EASTPAC COME 2020 OR ASAP THEREAFTER, LOGIC SAYS IT WILL BE DITTO ALA ITS EAST COAST AS PER 1/2 OF THE CENTRAL-NORTH ATLANTIC = WESTLANT???

It'll be interesting to see how the Globies will justify future CENTRAL AMER UNION, SOUTH AMERI UNION, AFRICAN UNION, + EURO-UNION, + CO-SUPERPOWER PRINCIPALS-NATIONS LEADING SAME, WILL DIVIDE UP THE CENTRAL-SOUTH ATLANTIC + YET STILL BE DEEMED "US-STYLE" SUPERPOWER???

Keep buying those Popcorn futures, people, the MilPol = Geopol Fun, Shennanigans is only just beginning!

I like Butterscotch Wasabi flavor myself.

#11  You guys are missing the point. The Prez is making a prime time speech touting an immigration 'reform' plan that would likely annoy quite a bit of America if they heard about it AND that seems to overstep his Constitutional role and authority.

Normally, a prime-time speech is news. A plan to offer criminals amnesty is news. A plan to usurp Congress's role in making laws is news. But the media is uninterested. Just like the recent Gruber-gate, the IRS scandal, Fast and Furious or any of a number of events that have fallen down the memory hole. Nothing to see here. Move along.

#10  There are no jobs for those people. You drive by a HOme Depot or other hardware outlet where illegals hang out hoping for a days work, and there are dozens who get no work.

When the Dems benefits run out the foreign Nationals here unconstitutionally will raise hell and the Dems will have to go after Americans 401Ks. Unless they are deported I see nothing but kaos and debt for the future of this country.

#8  Obama is timing his speech to take place on Mexican Revolution Day (a national holiday) just before the Latin Grammy's.

It sounds like he wants to be President of Mexico once he leaves the white house.

#4  He will be live on all the news channels. That's where people should go if they want to watch it. Those that would rather watch Golden Girls should not be disturbed with his partisan politics.

#3  Obama Immigration Speech: CBS, Fox, NBC & ABC Not Airing

Cause large portions of the population going 'Ferguson' immediately afterward would be something they could not hide no matter how big the Memory Hole(c,1984) is.

#2  There is that narcissism showing through. Right in the primetime hour when most ppl do not want to hear that bullshit.
