Exactly and he knew people would be tuning into the football game on CBS. The entire 30 minutes were perfectly choreographed. It wasn't a coincidence he chose evening newscast time to make his departure from Walter Reed, and they made sure they took up all 30 minutes of them.

They all acted surprised he used up their entire 30 minute newscasts for this. "Golly gee..." Yet, he acts like he hates the media.
