Has CNN replayed Barack Obama's speech in Prague in full yet?
Or are we just going to get to hear the opinions of the talking heads about the speech,
without seeing the actual speech ourselves? :shrug:

I'm calling them now asking them to re-air the speech in full.

1. I don't think so. I caught the tail end of it on CSPAN earlier....
Edited on Sun Apr-05-09 12:41 PM by MoJoWorkin
looks like they aren't replaying it until 1:45 and 5:00 am in the morning--unless they put it on unscheduled.

This makes me so angry, that the media controls what we see and when. I will happily call them on it---even tho it won't do much good.

I haven't found it up online other than snippets, so far, either.
If anyone finds it, please post for those who want to see it.

update:

I just left CNN my message!

3. I called a couple of numbers at CNN and wrote an email
But of course, they know exactly what they are doing.

2. I DVRed CNN starting at 3:00 a.m. Pacific time.....
and they didn't air the speech even once, from what I can tell in replaying what was happening while I was sleeping. :(

4. Oh no, doing that would make them 'partisan'. They stick to important issues like
"teleprompter-gate"

6. I just left them a "suggestion" for a story idea.....
here: http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form11b.html?2

Told them it would be a novel idea to actually air the speech in full
that the commentators are commenting about. :shrug:

7. Is it on the Internet anywhere?
It bugs me to watch comments on the speech without having seen the speech itself.

8. I haven't seen it. Only Faux and C-Span covered it in full.
I'll look, though.

10. No they're too busy running James Baker defending the Iraq war
and critiquing the new Administration. You know because he's not going to be biased.

12. I saw Baker's face talking right before GPS started,
which prompted me to turn off my television.

13. I am glad they added the 5 PM one today. When I checked earlier, they had only the early AM repeats.
