CBS is literally interrupting The Price is Right for Obama's budget conference

People still watch The Price is Right?

Can’t you just get The Price is Right on laserdisc later?

So Obama has that much power to force the network(s) to carry him live and interrupt regular programming? Seems to me if he really did have that much power, there would be no problems to solve and no interruption of regular programming to talk about them.

He doesn’t have any legal authority to do it but he knows perfectly well that if he says he’s gonna give a live speech every network is gonna cover it.

That’s how he passes executive orders too

What is this I don’t even

I’m glad CBS didn’t figuratively interrupt The Price is Right.

That would have been awkward.

So he should quite giving speeches at times that interfere with you shows?

Easy solution to the budget problem: Plinko!

yeah he needs to be aware of what the American Public is doing

the worst was when NBC decided to show his speech instead of Sunday Night Football

the NFL was nice enough to move the opening day of the NFL from Thursday to Wednesday so it wouldn’t interfere with his speech, but he couldn’t return the favor

I think you may need to think why the fuck you are watching morning game shows.

The mind is still boggling over here. This is actually an issue? A presidential address is interfering with your game shows?

We are truly doomed as a civilization.

I don’t even know what a tv is.

The people who watch The Price is Right are not the people running civilization says this unrepentant judgmental snob.

It’s sad, really. At some point we became unable to entertain ourselves and began counting on The Price is Right to take care of us.

When did we, as a people, forget how to masturbate?

Moved from Cafe Society to the Pit, where anyone who thinks the OP is either stupid or trolling can say so.

There is that. But they vote, and that is scary.

The OP has made a valid point, but in truly the dumbest way possible. I agree there’s no need to interrupt any TV show for this stuff, but getting a kink in your colon over missing the 400 thousandth Price Is Right showcase showdown might legally qualify you to be involuntarily committed in some states.

No choice. The hacks keep the remote.

Yeah I made this thread in anger and now I’ve calmed down some. I barely even watch the Price is Right anymore. I haven’t watched it regularly since Drew took over. So the first time in months I’ve watched it and then this happens.

But it’s still not necessary in this day and age with all the meda we have that any show should have to be pre-empted like that
