[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 1123714, member: 1246"] I love it when FOX only covers a few words from the pres. and directs you online if you want to hear his entire speech. If they didn't,I would be tuning in to Swamp People or Duck Dynasty or something entertaining. MSNBC chief Phil Griffin laid into Fox News for skipping President Obama’s gun control speech on Wednesday. After the Senate failed to pass a proposal for expanded background checks, Obama held a late-afternoon press conference to express his dissatisfaction. Broadcast networks including ABC, CBS and NBC interrupted their regular programming to bring viewers the press conference. MSNBC and CNN did the same. Fox News, however, did not air the press conference at all and kept with its regular programming, “The Five.” The New York Times’ Brian Stelter reported on Thursday about Fox News’ decision, in which Griffin called the move “a disgrace.” [...] Fox News responded to Griffin in a statement. [URL="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/the-hits-and-misses-of-the-gun-debate-on-cable-news_b175900"]TVNewser reported Fox News[/URL] as saying, “Phil’s network of partisan pundits have to rely on the talents of Brian Williams and NBC News to cover basic news events.
