No O.C.?

Bush to Announce Energy, Soc. Sec. Plans

Blah, blah, blah. We've already learned all we can from tonight's 7:30 CDT address/conference, which is this: Bush has a poor sense of timing.
It was only the fourth prime-time news conference of his presidency, and the White House asked television networks to broadcast it live — a request that some found hard to swallow. Thursday was the first night of the May ratings "sweeps," a barometer watched closely to set advertising prices. It also tends to be one of the most lucrative nights for the networks in terms of advertising revenue.
Will Fox show its independence from the Bush Administration by broadcasting The O.C. as planned? How else can we find out if Marissa and Trey fool around behind Ryan's back?

UPDATE: Fox and CBS have refused to cover Bush's song-and-dance tonight. All hail the greed of Rupert Murdoch! That's what we have to thank for our ability to watch Zach try to steal Summer away tonight rather than watching Bush try to steal our Social Security.

UPDATED UPDATE: They must have gotten Bush to move his show up by half an hour in order to make it on all the networks.
The O.C. will run two new episodes back-to-back next week!
