I think it is messed up that MTV did not air the State of the Union address. For one, so much of our youth watches that channel, the same youth that is affected by what is said in this speech. This is about the future, pay attention people! Around election time, MTV is ALL about the election. Does anyone remember P. Diddy's famous VOTE OR DIE promotion? It was all over MTV. They had election coverage and everything, and you know what, it made a difference. The people that watched MTV knew what the hell was going on, who were the candidates were, and what they stood for. We can say it was a biased view, but a view nontheless. So when one of the most important speeches of the year, a speech by the man that I am sure they were rooting for during the election, is on air, what does the network do? They say "Fuck it! Let's put on some crazy reality tv show" (One that is being filmed in the same freaking city where the speech is taking place!)
The State of the Union speech outlines what the state of our union is, got it? beengotit. It also is important to know where our country is going in the future. i.e. for the youth, i.e. the people who should be watching, but are watching The Real World. By the way, I would like to add that the black dude in The Real World wears the same white shorts everywhere he goes!! It's freaking crazy! No matter where they go, he always has those shorts on. Go watch it for yourself!
SHAME ON YOU MTV! Something of this great importance should not have been ignored. You took on the responsibility of informing our youth on the politics in our country, and part of that responsibility should include showing the speech!

I have to say, First and foremost I'm glad to have officially join the BeenGotit.com fam. At that I'm glad to see that someone had something to say about the the State of Union Address. Seriously the first channel I went to was MTV and they weren't showing it, on the other hand BET did get in the mix. All in all agreeing with Ariel, it is extremely important to keep yourself informed because this isn't just about the future, or the future generations but about YOU! So even if MTV showed the speech or not, one thing that does not change, that you already know is that guy is still wearing those DAMN WHITE SHORTS! So watch the State of the Union Address. Thank you
