President Obama to tape interviews with NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, CNN and FOX to air Monday

To clarify:
This is from Breaking News site:
Entirety of the post:
President Obama to tape interviews with anchors from NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, CNN and FOX on Monday to air that evening -

I can't imagine he will say anything specifically about Syria plans, not if he is taping all the interviews on Monday ahead of airing...

..about selling the American public on actual progressive ideas. Did he do this many interviews selling and explaining healthcare reform? Tax reform? Stimulus spending? The stupidity of "the debt crisis"?

So I guess despite what so many of the cheerleaders on here say, he apparently CAN use the bully pulpit and the megaphone he has in order to sell the public when it's something he's interested in.

And the interviews won't run simultaneously, so it won't block channel changing.
