Signaling that no new policies would be broached, no 'news-worthiness', by failing to ask the networks to cover the speech guarantees no prime time coverage.

The Networks have NEVER failed to cover a speech when the WH asked them to... but the WH usually only asks them to when it has something new to say.

The WH DIDN'T ask for them to cover it... so they didn't.

Nothing new was announced, and it wasn't an Oval Office broadcast... but was given before a mostly partisan crowd in OH and so came across more like a campaign event....

What's the surprise? If they wanted prime time coverage... all they had to do was ask.
