All the cable networks showed the president's statement live today, and then the Democrats' response. Why do you think FoxNews didn't show the response? Technical problems? :>

*** - calling people traitors isnt really a response
*** - whining "all the other stations etc..." isnt really a response to the question either
*** - even arguing about the war isn't responding to the question !

Why do you care? You have every other station that is sympathetic to the democrats and liberals. Why do you want Fox news also? Get a grip.

I'm not sure how much you know about FoxNews, however, I'll try to spare the technical details and give you a brief summary of why FoxNews did not show their response, and probably never will.
First off, FoxNews is seen as being biased towards the Republican National Party. There are many comments towards this, ranging from comedic jokes to various spoofs on internet flash sites, such as www.flashplayer.com or www.newgrounds.com. My own friends jokingly call it "FoxNews: Washington Propaganda" or "Bush News: Shoving more lies down your throat than Rush Limbaugh". *laughs* Well, you gather how they feel about it.
Secondly, FoxNews decided to have a Pre-Presidential Primary Debate. However, because of the widespread belief that FoxNews has broken the Journalistic Objective viewpoint by leaning toward the Republican National Party, knowingly or unknowingly, all of the Democrats running for President did not attend the debate. Their primary reason for not attending was the suspected, and many believe proven, bias toward the Republican Party. Yes, Democrats from Obama to Clinton to Edwards to Biden, to, well every Democrat who is running did not show up.
Hence, because of FoxNews' bias towards the Republican Party and the Democratic snuffing of a Pre-Presidential Primary debate, FoxNews did not show the Democratic response. In my own opinion, which is miniscule in the realm of the whole world, FoxNews will never show the Democratic Response.

Blue pretty much sums it up. I don't care what Democrats say about the Veto today, considering they knew it was coming before they even sent it to the Senate. They've been responding for about a week now. I'm just curious what they will do next. I expect the next bill will have a time limit as well, and if so, it'll get another Veto.
I don't think it's just a question of which side will blink first, it's possible that the American People will get tired of political games on this subject.

The republicans and Fox already know what their talking point response is ------ "we support the troops and all those fine children fighting in Iraq but, we do not support the mission. The president is a moron, an idiot and is unbalanced. It is the wrong place, the wrong time and the wrong war. The American people all agree with us".
Sorry, but I don't agree with the dems.

It's in the contract -
Their technology doesn't broadcast anything that is Democratic or of the liberal sound. They told the White House that way back in 2000. That was why the Republicans really freaked during the mid term elections!!

The president's statement was a response to the drivel that Pelosi and Traitor Reid snuffled up as they sent the bill to the White House.
A response is not required to a response.

Who cares? We all know who most of the people in the U.S. are behind today, and it isn't Dubya. Congress will continue to pound away on the numbskull, producing bill after bill full of benchmarks, restrictions and reductions in funding, troop tour length restrictions and troop readiness requirements, et cetera, until finally he gets the message that the people are the deciders, not him.

Yes, it was technical; they technically hate seeing the truth on thier airwaves. . . and after G. Tenet's interviews, the whole neocon house of cards is starting to crumble. I can't wait for Colin Powell's tell all book.

They did. I don't know when you were watching, but just because they don't show it in the short amount of time you happen to dip in doesn't mean they never show it.

Fearless leader's propaganda arm is not going to make him look bad.
