Obama News Conference Live Stream

Obama is set to address America at 8 p.m. EDT to discuss his first 100 days in office. YouTube will offer a live stream of the speech on its “White House channel,” along with commentary by various news organizations. The site will also, of course, offer links for you to upload your own thoughts via video and have them linked to the coverage. Google promises some viewer videos will be featured on the main YouTube news page by tomorrow.

President Obama’s news conference will be covered by most major networks tonight. Fox, however, has said it will not broadcast the speech, sticking instead with its regular schedule of “American Idol” and “Lie to Me.” The network says it will provide an on-screen graphic to inform viewers they can watch the Obama news conference live on the Fox News Channel or Fox Business Network.
