What "BREAKING NEWS" story will blow open tomorrow night when Obama's TV buy is scheduled?
Edited on Tue Oct-28-08 02:21 PM by Parker CA
It just dawned on me that if any breaking news about Bin Laden, Syria, terrorist attacks, scandal, etc were to hit the news networks and cause a "BREAKING NEWS" alert, tomorrow night, right as Obama plans to give his address would be the most expected time for the pukes to do so.

So, what will it be, and what time will it break? I have a feeling that the pukes will have a tough time sitting back idly while Obama speaks to the nation uninterrupted for 30 minutes right before the World Series.

Based on the response from Syria today stating that the US will face repercussions if another attack occurs, I would put my money on the fact that the US will engage in another strike inside Syrian borders that will cause retaliation from Syria and possible confrontation in the region.

What say you?

1. I think that, to a growing number of Americans, it would look waaaay too obvious.

4. I don't know, but
If he has bought paid programming time, it would have to be pretty cataclysmic for them to step on his show. I know those 1/2 hour rates in prime time are going to be pretty steep and I would imagone the networks don't want to lose those dollars by cutting in the middle of his program.

If the contracts are set up like the standard paid programming agreements I run, if they were to cut in even for a minute, he wouldn't have to pay for any of it.

7. Hannity and Beck are saying Obama wants reparations.



They will probably pump that up as much as they can just for the fear and hysteria value.

9. The correct answer is . . .
None.

This has been another edition of short answers to obvious questions.

And anyone who wants to put his or her money where his or her mouth is, I'll betcha a 10 dollar donation to DU that nothing happens.
