Fox Leaves Live Coverage Of Obama's Economic Speech For Royal Baby Name

[UCmeNdc]

After airing President Obama's economic speech live for approximately eight minutes, Fox News cut away to commercial break, promising that interested parties could watch the remainder of his remarks on Fox Business Network.

When America Live returned from commercial, guest host Shannon Bream announced the newly given name of the royal baby and then launched into a segment attacking Obama's newest judicial nominee, Cornelia Pillard.

1. Hahaha, so Fox replaced the American President with newly born heir to the throne of England?

Our founding fathers would be so proud. Now remind me, who's being un-American?

2. Is it any wonder that their viewers are so ill-informed?

3. Msnbc spent more time discussing

Baby name than Obama's economic Speech.

I got a chance to watch obamas speech from start to finish and I must say I found little actionable information or information not already presented. I saw no signs of progress being made to an agreement in congress. I saw little to help the middle class I saw a political speech and not much else.

But yeah fox could have just put the baby name in a pop out box or info graphic or in the scroller at bottom of screen

4. The reason I don't watch any of the cable "news" channels any more.

They're all nothing but drivel anymore.

DogTV starts on DirecTV next week. It will probably be more intelligent.

5. If Fox had kept covering the speech.....

Then their viewers would have realized how insane and obstructionist the GOP really is.
