Herman Cain Response To SOTU Doesn’t Receive National TV News Network Coverage

Herman Cain just can’t get any love these days, the Tea Party representative went in search of networks that would air his response to President Obama’s State of the Union address on Tuesday and apparently not a single national news network was willing to give him the time of day.

Speaking to the Atlantic Wire a representative for MSNBC gave a stern answer; “We don’t plan on taking it.”

CNN gave pretty much the same answer regarding the Herman Cain SOTU response while conservative news network Fox News said they wouldn’t air the Tea Party members response live on their network but would make it available as a stream via FoxNews.com

Speaking about the 7-minute speech Cain’s Chief strategist Mark Block speculated that at least one TV network would offer Herman Cain’s rebuttal to the President’s speech but he wouldn’t say which one.

In the meantime TV networks appear unwavering in their call for a two-party system response system which would be disrupted should Herman Cain have his chance to voice his opinion.

Speaking about Cain’s rebuttal Tea Party spokesman Shawn Callahan said

“Last year, [US Rep.] Michele Bachmann did a good job for us, so this year we decided that Herman Cain would be a good fit.”

Callahan said Cain would pen his own remarks after hearing the State of the Union address and added:

“We do expect him to speak to the fiscal issues that the Tea Party Express stands for.”

When basing its goals off Michelle Bachmann type responses it’s no wonder a major news network refused to pick it up.

Do you think Herman Cain should have been given equal airtime to form a rebuttal against President Obama and the Democratic party?
