4. Yes. When the leader of the free world goes out to address the public, it should be fully covered. |

I don't care if its President Obama, President Bush or President Bachmann. A political news channel reporting American political news should give full time to reporting what the most important political figure in American politics has to say, if that person happens to be speaking.

You think msnbc isn't going to have some Republicans on?
If you could read without Obama-paranoia-syndrome tainting your understanding you'd know that I suggested it's better to have a sane Republican who's usually fair than someone who isn't.

7. The media has better things to do...... |
|
they'd rather talk about the President than to allow him to talk to the nation.
I noticed during the Republican Debate last night, not one of them was corrected on their lies about anything. It was rather obvious that they don't care to expose Republicans. Flashback to the Democratic Primary, the commentators were on Barack Obama like white on rice about whether he was a patriot, etc....
What passes for liberal media on the major networks and cable these days is about 4 hours of evening programming on MSNBC, and that's about it! I guess we should be eternally grateful!

19. Even if Obama did get full coverage in the day time, I'm not sure it would even matter |

Check Fox, CNN and MSNBC ratings during the day. My guess is that they're very weak.
If Obama wants to really reach Americans, he should give prime time oval office addresses more often.

I'm trying to decide, which it is!!!!
If the networks shouldn't cover his speeches live ... how does he use the "Bully Pulpit??"
Or ... are we saying ... "sure, these are pretty speeches, but no one is watching them, so who cares."
Or maybe ... we should be saying that the job situation is so important, that every time Obama talks about it, it should be COVERED in full ... and then reviewed on the "liberal Media" night after night, after night, after night.
No?
Ugh.

31. Are you serious ... or just playing semantic games. |
|
To use the "bully pulpit" you can not just sit in the oval office and make a "serious statement" between 7pm and 7:30pm.
You need to GO OUT ... into a variety of locations ... and tell the people DIRECTLY, what you want to do.
And why do you think that a "speech" does not include "simple everyday language" ... that's suggestion is total nonsense.

You tried to differentiate between a "speech" and a "serious statement".
