Not to mention and according to all of you: "there is no point in broadcasting it on the mouthbreather network since the viewers are all too obtuse to understand him anyway."

I think conservative's blatant disregard for the facts is a huge part of the problem, and this is a prime example. There's no way to mistake last Thursday's speech for 'just another speech', no matter what side you're on. This was the president making his case for healthcare, and Fox decided not to show it.
I don't know a good way to find out how many speeches each president has made, but this was clearly a major policy speech, not a town hall thing.
