    That includes ABC, NBC, CBS. According to the link, the cable networks (Fox, CNN, etc.) will carry it.

    The Democrats just don't want the people to know about the workings of the amnesty. Keep it quite and under wraps.

    This is a major thing. I can't imagine why they would not feel obligated to cover it.

    Simple really- its not news- for you.
    The Hispanic channels will cover it wall to wall- that's the target audience.

    Default The Big Broadcast Fix for Obama's Amnesty Speech Tonight

    November 20, 2014
    The Big Broadcast Fix for Obama's Amnesty Speech Tonight

    By Thomas Lifson
    President Obama’s speech tonight on his immigration amnesty diktat isn’t aimed at you, if English is your primary language. The White House didn’t even ask the Big Three broadcast networks – CBS, NBC, ABC – for time. We’re in the midst of the November sweeps, and in all likelihood they would have turned him down. But that doesn’t matter – he would just as soon that Gringo-Americans not even hear about his decree.



    Obama and the Democrats base their strategy on fragmenting, not uniting Americans, and the speech tonight is aimed at Spanish-speakers, who will see the speech broadcast live on the other big broadcast network, Univision, which is for Spanish-speakers. And the audience will be huge among Spanish-speakers because the speech is timed to coincide with the Latin Grammys, one of the highest-rated programs of the year on Univision.

    Viewers tuning in for the music gala will not miss a moment of the spectacle, because it is being delayed, so as to allow the president’s speech to take advantage of the audience tuning in for music. That is the Big Fix. Open collaboration among the music industry, Univision, and the White House.

    How appropriate that, as Obama behaves like a caudillo, he has the active cooperation of the cultural and broadcast establishment of the rapidly growing Spanish-speaking segment of American society, a segment that is being imported (mostly absent the sanction of law) against the will of the people, and which is being catered to by a dictatorial presidential decree.

    Major Networks Reverse Plans for Obama Amnesty Speech Due to Activist Pressure

    Major Networks Reverse Plans for Obama Amnesty Speech in Response to Activist Pressure

    November 20, 2014

    Activist groups that launched a lobbying campaign today to get ABC, NBC, and CBS to carry Obama's amnesty decree speech tonight at 8pm ET are encouraged by news that these English language networks will now broadcast the speech to the largest American audiences.

    Originally, the Obama administration tried to avoid these networks in order to focus their message on the Spanish language networks and the conservative and liberal political base networks of CNN and MSNBC. This calculated move by the Obama administration was probably because they are aware a majority of English speaking Americans not heavily aligned politically oppose Obama's amnesty plans.

    Evidence of this can be found in Obama's rapid approval rating drop that has occurred recently as news of his plans to break with the Constitution to decree amnesty for 5 million illegal immigrants has spread!

    "This is a major win for our side of the immigration debates!" said William Gheen President of ALIPAC. "Obama had hoped to conceal his speech from most Americans while addressing Spanish language markets on Mexican Revolution Day!"

    The Washington Times is reporting on ALIPAC's earlier release that "Obama to issue immigration order on Mexico’s ‘Revolution Day’"
    http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...xicos-revolut/


    ALIPAC and Overpasses for America along with other coalition leaders and organizations are now asking American activists to form online and living room "watch groups" for tonight's amnesty edict from Obama.

    Activists then plan to lead Operations#StopO and Backlash Reaction using email, phones, texts, Facebook, Twitter, forums, talk radio shows, and other social media to broadcast their reactions to Obama's amnesty power grab!

    Two reasons: 1. Keep the majority of Americans in the dark on the details.
    2. Keep the republicans from getting air time to rebut the illegal action.
