Days ahead of First Lady Michelle Obama's visit to the Gaylord Opryland Resort, some hotel guests accuse the hotel of playing politics with its television programming. On Tuesday, the FOX NEWS Channel suddenly disappeared form the programming lineup in hotel rooms. Some guests were told the channel was being blocked at the request of the AME Church Conference which is hosting First Lady Michelle Obama. Officials with the AME Church say it's not something they requested.
"Obviously it was an unintended mistake on somebody's part, we don't know who. It was never authorized. It was never requested, it was never approved," says AME Spokesperson Phyllis Qualls. "You say how could this happen? It did and we don't know."
Officials with Gaylord Opryland say FOX NEWS Channel was blocked following an internal miscommunication between the hotel and event planner. The problem was corrected after we brought the matter to their attention.
