With War probably starting tonight...

Recommended Posts

Guest Trivia247

As we know Smackdown got preempted for most of us in the US because the Propaganda netword (Fox) needed a half dozen more tv channels to be on so we can all listen to Bush say the same shit over and over.

 

Do you think with the War probably starting tonight that Our beloved Raw (Coughs heh) Will get yanked off the air because Fox needed TNN to submit themselves for their Right wing Needs to Celebrate going to War?

No. Not unless something massive happens.

 

I remember when 9/11 was going down, having to look to the premium pay movie channels to find something to watch when I didn't want to just sit there and look at the buildings burn.

TNN has never pre-empted their programming for the President before. Why would they start now?

Also, why in the hell did you doublepost? It's pretty hard to doublepost here, seeing as how the Post button greys out and all when you do it.

I would doubt it. They usually leave cable channels alone no matter what is going on. The Gulf War didn't affect USA IIRC.

I heard that if the war is one during the NCAA tournament, TNN will be carrying some of the basketball games, along with MTV, Nickelodeon, and some others, while CBS airs war coverage.

I seriously doubt it. Bush is giving his speech at 8, and since TNN isn't a major network, I doubt they would mess with a live show.

 

And what exactly does Fox have to do with TNN or UPN? Those are Viacom networks. If Fox was the only news entity allowed at the press conference, then other networks would ask to use the feed, but it has nothing to do with Fox wanting to increase their audience.

Hey, I got a GREAT idea! Why don't you keep your political opinions out of it?

Unless there's nukes flying our way Cable won't get interupted.

 

And if there's nukes flying at us...fuck Raw, I need to get my ass to the liquor store to buy a case of Jack Daniels for my end of the world party.

 

Hopefully there's no unexpected nuke launchs sent at us...because I'd be extremely pissed that my end of the world party will have to be rushed and will be cut off early.

NEVAH!!!!

 

Leftist Nuttery Shall Rule BWAHAHAHAHAHAAH

 

with our Dictator...HAKU!

 

Believe me if I wanted to get Political I'd be worse than that.

 

Im just asking because FOX News did take over UPN for the President speech and we are getting another one tonight and they did say a few weeks ago they would be taking over cable networks for War coverage.

I love that idea, as well. Not all "right wingers" are for the war, even.

Saddam doesn't have the technology to shoot nukes at us from Iraq. Now, if he came to Cuba...

Okay, is this thread invented so that you can bash Fox or because you have a valid idea?

 

Why the hell would TNN preempt anything?

How does FOX affect WWE? They HAVE zero connection with them...

 

Even if bombs are doing back and forth tonight...Raw will stand proud....

 

However, I was wondering are any WWE rosters in any way involved in the war as Reserves or anything...Just wonder if Vince would try to Actually face to face with the G'vent if they tried to take his precious Bill DeMott away...He might volunteer RVD for the front line however...

Would any wrestlers/crew have time to be in the Reserves? I don't think any of them would, due to their schedule. They work a lot of weekends, and I think that's when you do your time in the Reserves.

Along with Jericho.

 

TNN will only get new coverage if another 9/11 type of event happens.

Actually, I would prefer it if he DID put his political opinions in it. Also, bashing Fox News is appropirate at any time, in any folder. Anyways, back to the war.
