State of the Union scheduled around "Lost".
How fitting. We're doomed.

2. Really? can you elaborate on how you came up with that?
Not that I doubt it may be true, just looking for something to back up that claim.

3. True. They don't want an incident like last summer when they moved a speech for Susan Boyle.
NBC had 'Idol' and an interview with Boyle all lined up and they wouldn't budge on showing the Prez's press conference on healthcare.

9. Wow, you "heard" it on CNN
Must be true



So I take it it was scheduled and now they have changed the date?

Oh, thats not true, way to jump to conclusions.

11. Get a life.
I said I heard it on CNN yesterday. Nothing more, nothing less. Welcome to ignore for going out of your way to be obnoxious.

10. That really isn't how it went...
while people were up in arms over the fact that ONE of the dates considered for the SOTU was the same day as the Lost premiere, the WH didn't schedule it around Lost. Even if that is the way ABC & CNN are spinning it.

12. It's a simple reality of deregulation
There used to be a concept that we leased the public airwaves to these companies and as a condition of leasing the airwaves they had to show a certain amount of programming that was considered in the public interest such as State of the Union messages, political conventions.
