I have to agree with Jack here.
The water landing story happened, what, 6 hours earlier?
At any rate, the story was old by the time Bush gave his farewell speech.
edit: I should add that the only time I turned my tv on last night was for ER. I missed the speech.
I general though, by the time Bush spoke, the plane story was "old" news.

If nothing else, there hasn't been an attack on US soil since 9-11. That's worth giving thanks for.
You really should have read the post above yours. This dumbass was just watching a later re-run. The speech did run in prime-time.
To Jack directly: George Bush. him. his wife. his kids. everybody he's ever known and loved. everything he's ever done. everyone who's ever supported him. George Bush is the biggest piece of in the history of . He's a ing mass murderer who hopefully will be rotting in the hottest part of sooner, rather than later. He deserves nothing other than contempt and hatred from the world he destroyed. you man.
I read it after I posted...but I was speaking from a news standpoint.
In general, the plane crash story was old news by the time Bush spoke.
But, like I said, I didn't watch the Bush speech, so I don't know when it aired and where. I didn't turn the tv on until it was time for ER at 10.
When was the last time anybody really cared what Bush said?
News is about ratings and a miraculous plane crash is waaay more interesting than anything an unpopular president says in the last 5 days in office.
Honestly, I hope that conservatives in this country keep whining about "the media" myth, instead of, say, actually doing something to make the country better, because the more you asshats do that, the easier you make it for us liberals.

why do conservatives think their stupidity is attractive?
By thinking that Bush's speech started at 10 PM, jack sommerset is now qualified to be a mideast war correspondent.
While I agree that news is about ratings, the plane crash DID happen several hours earlier and had been discussed at great length by the time Bush gave his speech.
At this point, the only thing "interesting" about the plane crash would be if there was something new to add...say, an interview with the pilot or information from the black box or something like that.
Which is why, during primetime, they stopped talking about it and let the President speak. So I don't get it? What's the problem?
Seriously, the Bush supporters ing about the speech coverage didn't watch the speech coverage.
I guess they can't be expected to understand how hilarious that is. After all, they obviously hate America since they didn't give Bush the respect of watching his farewell speech live.
Because the media love liberals and hates all republicans! It's horse crap... blah... blah... blah... blah
I don't have a problem...just responding to his comment.
If you are, in any way, referring to me, you're wrong.
I'm not " ing" about anything.
I didn't watch the speech. I didn't watch anything all day really until I read about the plane crash.
I then turned CNN on for about an hour, turned the tv off, and then turned the tv back on in time to watch ER.
I couldn't care less what time his speech started or which channel it was on.
I'm simply arguing that, as far as "newsworthy" goes, by the time his speech came on, THAT was the "news" at the moment. The crash was long over and had been discussed at great lengths.
There are a couple people here saying that the crash was a more important story than what an unpopular President was saying.
Overall yesterday, yeah it was.
Bush got his time. As you and the OP attest, no one cared -- so how could it possibly be a bigger story than the plane crash?
Where did jack go?
Overall, it wasn't the biggest story of the day, but at the moment, yes, it was "bigger" than the plane crash.
As I said, the crash was over hours before his speech, and nothing new was being presented. Now, had there been an interview with the pilot or additional information being provided...hmmm...
Yeah, I'd still have to say the President take precedence in this case.
Popular or not, he IS still the President.
Chances are, his speech didn't take up a large amount of air time. There's no reason to think he wasn't the story of the moment and should be treated otherwise.
Looking at it a different way - what if the plane crashed moments before Bush was to speak?
In this instance, the plane story would definitely be more important, and I have to think the White House would agree and move his speech.
And at the moment, his speech was covered by everyone. Remember, I watched -- you didn't.
It was indeed the story of the moment. You'd know that had you watched.Chances are, his speech didn't take up a large amount of air time. How do you know? There's no reason to think he wasn't the story of the moment and should be treated otherwise.
I don't know why Republicans think there is some advantage in arguing from a position of complete ignorance.
Exactly. "boo hoo, I didn't get exactly what I wanted spoon fed to me in exactly the way I wanted it at exactly the time I wanted it."
Spoiled AND lazy.
You're talking about a group that had a sizeable percentage of people who thought Palin would make a good VP.
I don't understand it either.
Three days ago, Huffington Post's main headline was "Bush asks networks for Prime-time". Yesterday, I woke up and read a WP article about the forthcoming speech. Then later, I flicked on NPR and listened as Bush gave the same speech, in preliminary fashion at the VOFA or somewhere. Then I read a CNN article that talked about what Bush had just talked about. And then it talked about how Bush was going to talk about those same things, later on, in the prime-time version of his speech. Then yet again, I turn on NPR and I hear the speech a second time. Live, for now the second time. Had I been watching TV, I could have seen the speech on one of 9 different channels. Had I missed it all, I could have tuned in to one of the re-run's of the speech that was on at least 5 different channels. My entire day yesterday was spent in slavish devotion to George Bush's speech. And I ing hate George Bush. I'd assume not hear anything about him at all. But the media force, was so strongly talking about him yesterday, that on several seperate occasions I had little or no choice but to listen.
Anybody who would dare be bent that there wasn't even more Bush coverage, or that the networks would have the gall to mention a major plane crash earlier in the day, can go themselves in the ear hole.
seriously, does anyone need any more proof that republicans LOVE to feign indignation??
What's sadly amazing is that many of them are so deluded, that they're not even feigning indignation at this point. They're seriously indignant. It's really an incredible exercise in self-delusion. That, and one of an inferiority/paranoia complex.
