Not legitimizing?!?! Like them or not, they are the most watched news organization in the country. I don't think Obama attempting to snub them will keep them illegitimate.
Lest we forget, Fox didn't run the speech because there have been too many speeches in primetime already and they wanted to run their regular programming for the purposes of ratings. It wasn't nefarious - they didn't see anything new coming out of the speech, the text of which was released prior to the speech, so why lose an hour of commericals for the same tired speech? Other networks have done this before and it will become increasingly more common with Obama - because he is overplaying himself.
