Thursday evening will mark a momentous announcement from President Obama concerning his hugely controversial executive order to “shield” and otherwise legalize millions of ‘undocumented’ illegal immigrants living in the United States.
But is this tide turning presidential address scheduled to be carried live on TV for all the country to witness?
No. It seems that the big four networks – ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox – have all opted out of broadcasting the 15 minute speech, instead airing their November sweeps shows as scheduled in hopes of maximizing viewer ratings:
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.
While Obama’s speech will be seen on their cable news siblings, Fox and NBC are not carrying it live on their broadcast networks tomorrow night.
Out of sight, out of mind?
Moreover, according to Deadline.com, the White House never asked the networks to carry the address:
The broadcast networks were not asked for time by the administration, sources tell me.
Wow! Sounds more like a blackout than a snub. While the cable networks, watched by news junkies, will carry the speech, the heartland of America will have drama, dancing and entertainment on their minds rather than the astounding wholesale immigration amnesty implemented unilaterally by the president – outside of Congress – through the stroke of his executive order pen. As SHTF previously reported, Obama will, specifically, reassign more than 12,000 immigration agents to other duties and shield resident immigrants residing in the country from deportation.
But, curiously, there are two regular TV networks with massive viewing audiences who will be broadcasting the speech LIVE despite hosting similar big TV award shows (which will be interrupted)…
They also happen to have the largest broadcast Hispanic and Spanish-speaking audiences:
Univision Network will air the POTUS announcement regarding Executive Action on Immigration live tomorrow. We will proceed with our coverage plans for the Latin GRAMMY’s, immediately following the President’s remarks. Complete coverage of the announcement, reactions and what it means for the US will be covered across Univision’s news platforms, as well as on the Network’s “Despierta America” morning show.
Fellow Spanish language network Telemundo will also be showing the President’s speech live with reaction and analysis to follow at least until 9 PM.
There is absolutely no question here as to why Univision and Telemundo would find Obama’s speech so broadcast worthy, while the other major stations are keeping with the regularly scheduled program.
Nothing to see here, no skyrocketing costs for health care, education, food stamps and social programs. Move along… the season finales are starting soon.
Well if that’s not proof that the Zionist “news” outlets refuse to tell people anything important, I don’t know what is.
“Ignore the fact of an illegally installed president giving the country away to wetbacks, and watch ‘Gilligan’s Island’s New Idiots’ instead”.
Treason, TREASON TREASON TO THE CORE!!! 😡
I’d not be surprised the real reason for the blackout is because
if the general public heard what he’s about to say there WILL be
rioting in the streets, sooner, rather than later.
But still the same, it’s coming …to a neighborhood near you !
Remember, they advertised and solicited people to migrate without
our knowledge or consent. These creatures are going “whole hog” now.
The actions being taken is a declared war upon our Republic.
As the sheriffs in MO. are saying, “You better get a gun, and real soon !”
I just still can’t understand why We the People aren’t arresting these bastards and raiding DC. This is disgusting. 😡
No MSM to stream it live huh? We’re going to see them all hang as well. By the way NC, maybe it’s just been me on at the wrong time but I haven’t seen you in the comment section lately. Good to see you on the board today! 🙂 PS Right now I’m going to get a computer to replace this virus infected hunk of junk I’m using with extreme patience as it is soooooooooo slow! 🙂 I’ll log in on the new one. 🙂
Just like the signing of the Federal Reserve Act, these treasonous bastards want to hide the very act of treason being enacted by the dictator/emperor. This is just as insane as the script used in the Star Wars movies.
Were I live the imigration laws are very clear. Unlike America. You have money to be self suporting we love you here! You no money there are no jobs here for you or benifits! But you can walk down beach and pick up crabs and clams, sleep under palm tree, and starve to death. Only in America is such allowed. He is not a dictator that takes brains and skill. He is the great American he say’s clown in office. And you are the big joke he is running. If you let him get away with this.
