(Newser) – The Fox Broadcast Network won't carry President Obama's congressional address on health-care reform Wednesday, and will instead run So You Think You Can Dance, reports Broadcasting & Cable. The Fox News cable channel will carry the address. The Fox network also skipped Obama's July 22 speech. ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC and PBS will all carry the president's 8 pm speech.

You won't see President Obama's health-care address on the Fox network, but it will air on CBS, NBC, ABC and PBS.

I agree with you Silence.... I am so tired of watching his speeches, just waiting to hear something relevant. Health care reform is a huge issue that will effect every one of us, yet none of us actually knows how. We need that information. And besides, I love So You Think You Can Dance. Thank you fox broadcasting. You'll still be able to see the speech on Fox news and every other channel.

Hahahahaha! This network is the equivalent of a sulking 5 year old. "You don't elect the president we want? Fine! then we're not going to show anything from yours!" Stupid silly babies.

I Am Not Surprised. Fox Is A Joke. Fair And Balanced Is Good For A Laugh, Because It Is SO Far From The Truth. Truth Is One Of Many Things That Sorry Excuse Of Network Can't Deal With.
