Press Secretary Robert Gibbs took a shot at the Fox network today while appearing on “Fox And Friends,” saying “I know that the network, instead of dealing with the reality of millions of people on health insurance reform, have decided to show a reality show called something like So You Think You Can Dance.” Watch the video below.

“I do hope that people will check into the reality of what’s going on in America rather than the distraction of a reality TV show,” said Gibbs. Steve Doocy noted that Fox News Channel will be broadcasting the speech.

NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC and CNN will all be airing Obama’s speech to a joint session of Congress. Fox also aired So You Think You Can Dance instead of a primetime press conference by Obama back in July.
