The networks aren't showing the Democratic Response. |
|
I thought they were required to show the response by law?

13. They always show the SOTU response. |
|
Maybe it's just a courtesy.
Regardless, it's pathetic that the nets wouldn't show the opposing view.

18. I'd bet courtesy/tradition there. |
|
As for this, I don't think the opposition party traditionally gets equal time for every speech the president gives.

Certainly not since the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine, but they may never have been.

Did CBS, NBC or ABC show it? |
|
I'm not talking about the local stations I'm talking about the same national break in that carried Bush's speech

15. MSNBC's Olbermann and Tweety are really doing a good job. |
|
They're towing the Dem line. Showed the Dem response.
I'm more optimistic now than I was before the speech.
Bush fucked up.

24. I get a lot more of my news from the BBC than I did five years ago. |
|
They had better coverage of the run-up to the midterms than most of the US networks.
