Gee, never thought I'd thank ol' GW for anything, but he came through for me! I was able to take my test and stop at the grocery on the way home, and still got to see Survivor!

I wonder if there is any chance they'll show this Survivor episode again? I know Apprentice does repeats, so I can catch that during the week, but my daughter missed Survivor and the VCR recorded GWB.

As much as I love my President, I only hope next time he gives a press conference, he does it on either Friday or Saturday when it doesn't inconvenience me. However, makes you wonder whether or not he wanted to do it on Tuesday or Wednesday and his advisors said "Don't mess with American Idol."

apparently according to CNN, and I think this just goes to show the power of the Survivor fans, Bush originally wanted to do press conference at 8:30 which we all know. IT WAS CBS who said they werent going to air the press conference because it conflicted with their scheduling. That was when the Bush camp agreed to do the conference at 8:00 pm. CBS also cut away almost in the middle of a sentence.

I admit that I called CBS about the press conference screwing up with my Survivor show}

I heard today that near the end of his press conference, GW said "let's wrap it up, we're missing some good tv shows". Can anyone here confirm? Or deny...lol

According to the AP what Bush said was...

"I don't want to cut into some of these TV shows that are getting ready to air, for the sake of the economy."

NOTE: if you were watching and waiting for Survivor to start, you wouldn't have heard that comment, since they cut away just before he made it. :-)

Thanks, Kar...when I heard the comment, I thought, so maybe there is some truth to the rumor he rescheduled due to pressure from the networks.

He did reschedule because of pressure. Originally he was going to go on at 8:30 which was in the middle of the hour cycle. CBS wasnt going to cover the conference and was just going to webcast it. The Wh, rescheduled to 9:00 to go on the hour.

yes, Calamity, it was on the news wires. :-)

Here's the NYT article:

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/29/politics/29tvbox.html

n a showdown that featured inside-the-Beltway lobbying and bare-knuckle boardroom negotiating, Donald J. Trump and President Bush effectively squared off yesterday in pursuit of the same parcel of real estate - a piece of the NBC-TV prime-time lineup. And it was the president who blinked first.

<snip>

During the news conference, Mr. Bush suggested that he had some familiarity with the intricate negotiations that resulted in his four-network appearance.

A minute or two before 9 p.m., he called for the "final question" and then told the assembled reporters, "I don't want to cut into any of those TV shows that are getting ready to air, for the sake of the economy."

But by then, NBC and CBS, at least, had already cut away from the White House.

Thanks for the confirmation, Karuuna. It just sounded like a fake story.
