So on the eve of this big Obama speech I am happy that I will not be at home. My father will be extremely happy that So You Think You Can Dance will not be replaced by Obama, when Obama takes over Fox programming, he gets pretty peeved, almost to the point of my amusement. Now if Obama would come on over American Idol, he would start writing letters to Fox expressing his disappointment in their programming choices, using a few choice words to describe our president. Now as you can imagine, there are many Americans sitting at home watching TV getting ready to watch their favorite reality program and instead of that program, the president comes on, a lot of Americans do not like their regularly scheduled programs to be interrupted, nonetheless by the president. I myself get irritated when what I want to watch gets interrupted by the president, or an amber alert or a weather alert, its selfish I know, but we live in a self serving world. I think that it is absolutely ok that Fox opted out the speech, it shows people that companies have no reason to be afraid of the government due to the decisions thast they make for their business. It also makes their viewers happy as well as driving up ratings for the Fox broadcast channel, the people that tune in to watch NBC or CBS thinking that their regular program is on and see that Obama is on and it is not something that they want to watch, they are going to turn it to Fox, who is showing So You Think You Can Dance. And who knows, maybe they will hook some new viewers for that program!
So do you think that it is ok that Fox decided not to air the presidential speech?

I do not think it's ok considering that they never did same to Bush. So called Liberal outlets never ignored Bush's speech to make a point. It's becoming a pattern for Foxnews, they are like African leaders...make things up about their opponents and do everything to silence the opposition.
