***LIVE COVERAGE OF OBAMA SPEAKING AT NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE***

[jenmito]

They just put it on their website: http://www.cnn.com/live/

ETA the asterisks 'cause it's the fun thing to do. :)

(My feed doesn't get any sound but they're covering it on Faux, too).

ETA working link: http://www.foxnews.com/video2/player.html?liveSiteStream_::_2_::_undefined&Live_Site_Stream&Live%2520Stream&acc&Live%2520Stream&-1&News&180&&&new

1. Is anyone getting sound? I'm not.

[jenmito]

2. No. It's on Faux, though, until the sound hopefully starts working.

[butterfly77]

5. I'm not either..

[ClayZ]

11. I can not get sound either! ARGH! CNN

Wouldn't you know!

[flor de jasmim]

3. got a link for fox...? i just get regular programming

[jenmito]

4. Sorry-I'm watching it on Faux News on cable. n/t

[flor de jasmim]

7. I'm overseas - thanks though

[jenmito]

8. Oh. Sorry. And they just went to commercial and will come back to it anyway.

:eyes:

[tishaLA]

6. no sound

shit. but he looks good.

[jenmito]

9. Yes. He DOES look good. But he sounds even better when we can HEAR him.

:(

[jefferson_dem]

10. Shit. We may not get live feed.

NUL will have the video up afterwards though. http://www.nul.org/2008conference/conference-videos.html

[FrenchieCat]

12. CNN live with no sound?

HOw convenient!

[flor de jasmim]

13. yes, the latest type of censorship

[jenmito]

15. I know. They didn't even have it listed on their schedule 'til it started.

[Supersedeas]

51. odd ain't it -- both FOX and CNN without sound...two peas

[rzemanfl]

14. Still no sound. n/t

[Connie_Corleone]

16. New link

Obama is taking questions now:

http://www.foxnews.com/video2/player.html?liveSiteStream_::_2_::_undefined&Live_Site_Stream&Live%2520Stream&acc&Live%2520Stream&-1&News&180&&&new

[jenmito]

18. Thanks, Connie! I added it to my OP!

:hi:

[FrenchieCat]

21. Thank you.

Fox came through when no one else did.

How's that for small miracles?

[FrenchieCat]

17. CNN talking about other election issues, but won't show Obama live

and the live site keeps freezing my computer, till I have to boot back up each time...which takes a long while.

This is fucking more than just a bit irritating.

Can't even see the fucking speech.
But they shoved McCain's speech in our faces until the Q&A!

[helderheid]

I can't get sound from either link

[NYC_SKP]

19. It works on FOX

http://www.foxnews.com/

:applause: for Obama...

[jenmito]

23. Yup. Thanks-I put the link in my OP.

:hi:

[tishaLA]

26. i had to disable adblockplus on Firefox to get it to work

just a tip to the firefoxy folks.

[FrenchieCat]

20. CNN shows Obama speak for like 2 minutes,

and cuts him off again.....like they have something more worthy to show.

I will be glad when the current media is buried, because it is certainly dead.

[jenmito]

22. I know. Faux showed it for about THREE minutes, but at least they have a working live stream

on THEIR website.

[nc4bo]

24. i've been getting quite a few errors with cnn live lately.

[BlooInBloo]

25. Neither linky worky.

[jenmito]

27. Try the link at post #19. n/t

[tishaLA]

28. if you're using adblockplus in forefox, disable it

it will work. i had the same problem.

[BlooInBloo]

29. Ah - i whitelisted for flashblack, but not adbloack - thanks!

[jenmito]

30. Is that the first time you've had to do that to get it to work?

[tishaLA]

33. It may be....but I might be wrong.

I used to go crazy when I went to the MSNBC video page, but I no longer have problems with adblock enabled there. I think NBC changed some of the configuration settings.

[jenmito]

37. Oh, ok. Thanks for the info. If I can't get sound next time, I'll do what you said to do.

Thanks! :hi:

[tishaLA]

41. no, I'm sorry. The adblocker advice was for Fox. CNN was just fucked

I never got sound there.

[jenmito]

44. Oh. Ok-my bad.

:hi:

[FrenchieCat]

45. Inside CNN "media silence" job on Barack.

So convenient.

And C-span, C-span2 and C-span3 ain't worth shit. They are always off topic these days.
Like they couldn't have shown this speech on one of the three channels, instead of some boring interview with a no name from 1996! :eyes:

[jenmito]

46. Exactly. And I, too, checked all 3 C-Spans. NOTHING. They claim to have

a "Campaign '08" section yet they can't even cover these live events?! :eyes:

[Connie_Corleone]

31. Loved his last comment!!

"I expect the next White House will be the People's White House."

And they sang Happy Birthday!

[jenmito]

34. Yeah. That was great!

:D

[FrenchieCat]

35. That was a Jewel of a statement!

The People's House! yeah!

[Cha]

39. Crazy Awesome! Early Birthday Greetings!

:party: Obama will be 47 on the 4th of August. The Peeps House..so true that's exactly why the corporatewhores and all their little minions are spewing venom like rabid cornered ratz.

[jenmito]

40. Yup...

no wonder the media didn't cover it. I think CNN covered McCain's entire speech. :eyes:

[Cha]

47. So many I talk to know exactly what the media is doing..

I just keep thinking Obama's going to pull this off inspite of the fascist corporatewhores' mouthpiece that has taken over our airwaves. I feel like we're in some 3rd world country for obvious reasons.

I read something last night on DU that had a quote from Obama saying just after the primaries that in the General "we would be attacked like never before". Of course, they knew it was coming.

My fondest wish after Obama Team going to the White HOuse is for our mediawhores to be held accountable for what they've wrought..it could happen.

[jenmito]

49. I'm sure he knows exactly what he's doing.

I think he's smart enough to know what he's up against.

[Cha]

50. And that would be an

avalanche of death(his campaign's) and destruction coming his way.

[otohara]

48. He's So Fricking Cool

Hope this gets posted the you tube tube soon

[nc4bo]

32. Nothing like McSame's!! He did fabulously! nt

[NYC_SKP]

36. Thanks, ***jenmito***

You're like the three star general of awesome!

:patriot:

[jenmito]

38. Awww, shucks, NYC_SKP...

:grr: (blushing wildly)

[Coexist]

42. is this still going on? I can't get either to work???

[jenmito]

43. No. It's over. Sorry!

Hopefully it will be online sometime soon.
