NBC: Sorry, POTUS, Ms Boyle’s top billing

July 21, 2009

Susan Boyle posts/videos/interviews

Who knew?

Ms Boyle has more star power….than barry.

Yep.

And that’s NBC talking.

barry wanted to have his “press conference” at 9pm and found the networks weren’t exactly hopping on. It’s his 4th prime time “press conference” in 6 months in addition to his gazillionith interview.

FOX, of course, said no straight out – like last time. “So You Think You Can Dance” is a lot more entertaining than watching teleprompter barry pretend to answer unscreened questions.

Meredith Vieira did an interview (preview) with Ms Susan Boyle that will be televised Wednesday morning on the Today Show with an encore during that prize time slot on “America’s Got Talent”. barry certainly knew this on Friday when he decided to have a press conference and chose Wednesday – probably for that exact reason – so he could preempt Ms Boyle.

Wrong.

Meredith Vieira just interviewed barry and Brian Williams did his sleepover shows — so why would NBC give up a slot folks have been waiting for for months?

Ms Boyle blew the first president to use YouTube (because it didn’t exist until 2005) right out of the water – last counting she was closing in on 500 million hits. And now the most powerful man in the world is being preempted by a woman who was singing Karaoke in her local pub four months ago.

Can you imagine what that is doing to his Ego?

I can’t type I’m laughing so hard.

So, the WH capitulated. They had no choice. How would it look if barryTV NBC didn’t cover his press conference?

As per The Live Feed – here’s how the WH spun it:

In response to a request for comment, a White House representative said, “In speaking with various media outlets, we found that rescheduling for one hour earlier would help us to arrange for as many Americans as possible to hear directly from the President at the press conference.”
