The Michelle Obama tapes to be aired any day/time from now: API and Fox News Network (USA) in a final agreement on the airing days/time. Posted by africanpress on October 29, 2008
A final agreement has been reached between African Press International (API) and Fox News Network (USA) on the dates to air the Michelle Obama tape arising from a discussion Mrs Obama had with the API two weeks ago. The show will take place any day/time from now, with a 15 minutes alert on when it is to take place. Other programmes will be interrupted. This is a precaution taken to avoid interference from any quarter.
In the agreement, Fox News Network will broadcast 39 minutes of the 54 minutes long tape. The whole tape cannot be aired unedited due to security reasons and especially due to the explosive political temperature in the country because of the Presidential elections that is just around the corner, November 4th.
The tape will be aired in two portions by two separate units in the Network. API’s representative will appear live in one of the shows.
The parties have agreed that the information to be released to the public on the agreement will not include the naming of the units at Fox News Network that will air the tapes in order to avoid outside pressure and influence of any kind before the show has taken place. Nondisclosure of the name of the shows that will air the tapes has become necessary due to pressure from groups interested to block the release of the contents to the public.
Due to a huge interest in the tapes shown by some private individuals, groups belonging to some political camp(s) and persons connected to a section of an intelligence network, it has been decided that the 54 minutes long unedited tape is to be kept outside the United States in safe custody of one of API’s Lawyers based in Ontario, Canada.
The day and time schedules of the broadcast will only be announced 15 minutes before the Show begins in order to avoid attempts to block the Show from airing the tapes.
Any pressure from any outside forces that may want to know the exact day and time schedule of the Show before-hand or any other details in the agreement will get no answers to their requests either from API or Fox News Network.
The decision to have the above information public was a difficult one due to the sensitivity of the case and huge interest against, and for, the release of the contents of the tape for public consumption.
Good one! The date on this should be about 3 weeks ago.
I’ll believe it when I see/hear it.
Right...
Right. Needs to be NOW!
Believe it when I see it.
Now?
No argument there. Anyway, its supposed to be a done deal now.
We all watch Fox so if its real we will all be cheering here soon!
D
Now?
Will the Great Pumpkin handle the introduction?
I will not be holding my breath...........
tease
Ping me when they do decide to air it.
Wonder if it is Hannity? When API wanted suggestions on who on TV to give the tapes to air, I suggested Hannity or Greta. Said you couldn’t trust anyone else from the other broadcast media.
This stuff is really getting old and stale. Has anyone at Fox confirmed this?
If you post it, I will come
:-)
anytime?
Now?
yada...yada...yada
WHEN?
The clock is ticking.
Worse yet, many don’t have cable to see see or hear it on FOX.
Okay, now!
