3. Yep.
Link to tweet Here is the full anonymous quote from a network executive justifying their refusal to air President Obama's Nov 2014 address for fear it would have been "overtly political." https://www.politico.com/tipsheets/play ![]() |

6. I just posted that fact on another thread.
Wouldn't air Pres Obama's message on Immigration reform.. too political.
But, they'll air the Fraud on Immigration FEAR. |

7. True. But Obama didn't request that they carry his 2014 speech.
So that gives the networks an out. Plus the fact that his shutdown -- and the crisis he as created -- lets the networks claim the situations are distinguishable.

9. Despite what their staff say
the networks are owned by oligarchs and scumbags just like the Con.
they are facilitating a pathological LIAR, racist who loves chaos and would tear up the Constitution without batting an eye. |
