Fox won’t air Obama’s 100 days press conference.
The AP reports that Fox has decided to stick with its regular line-up on Wednesday, meaning it won’t air President Obama’s prime-time news conference marking his 100th day in office. Instead, viewers will see an episode of “Lie to Me.” ABC, CBS, and NBC will be airing the press conference.

April 27th, 2009 at 4:54 pmFox = haters!
I don’t patronize their network so a big WHATEVER! Goes out to FNN! ROTFL!
April 27th, 2009 at 4:55 pmI like the show “lie to me”. But isnt it fitting that it is on faux snooze?
April 27th, 2009 at 4:55 pmIt is a smart move.
April 27th, 2009 at 4:55 pmI should say channel…oops.
April 27th, 2009 at 4:55 pm“Lie to Me” – Isn’t that FNC’s slogan?
April 27th, 2009 at 4:55 pmI’m stripping FOX out of my cable service.
April 27th, 2009 at 4:58 pmInstead, viewers will see an episode of “Lie to Me.”
Oh, sweet irony
April 27th, 2009 at 4:59 pmDon’t Faux viewers see this everyday? Is this a new push for truth in advertising?
April 27th, 2009 at 4:59 pmgreat news for fox lovers. Horrible !!!
April 27th, 2009 at 4:59 pmOh my God…. Why do you guys care? It is going to be on at least 3 other major networks. Fox is doing the smart thing by offering something different for those that do not want to watch Obama’s spout his Cr*p.
April 27th, 2009 at 4:59 pmWe return you now to your regularly scheduled programming already in progress.
April 27th, 2009 at 5:00 pmNot exactly… it’s more what they assume their audience wants from them.
And they do their level best to deliver it.
April 27th, 2009 at 5:03 pmCool. So from now on, Obama administration can freeze out all Fox correspondents and boycott the FNC talking head shows. Obama doesn’t need Fox, their viewers are the 21% dead-enders who’ll never support him anyway.
April 27th, 2009 at 5:03 pmGood. Who gives a rat’s ass what the Propaganda Network and their brainwashed rabble think?
April 27th, 2009 at 5:04 pmSeems par for the Republican’t propaganda outlet . . . .
I’ll give the 21%ers something to watch while waiting for their checks to arrive . . . .
April 27th, 2009 at 5:04 pmOh my God…. Why do you guys care? It is going to be on at least 3 other major networks. Fox is doing the smart thing by offering something different for those that do not want to watch Obama’s spout his Cr*p.
And those three other networks will overwhelm the anti-American Fixed News ratings-wise. Have fun with that!
April 27th, 2009 at 5:05 pmNo surprise here.
April 27th, 2009 at 5:06 pmFaux is desperately afraid the majority of their viewers (over the age of 60) will keel over, stone-cold dead at the sight of our current, eloquent White House resident.
Too bad.

This is why MORON. I need to dumb it down to a level you have some hope of understanding. WE OWN AIRWAVES. Networks have obligation to provide public service. You too stupid to know what that means but we arent. They opt out of performing public we have every right to demand they lose licence to broadcast. Most not as bone ignorant as you and interested in President speech. You racist, piece of trash not right judge of content, too stupid
April 27th, 2009 at 5:07 pmTo be honest I didnt watch a single televised Bush event
April 27th, 2009 at 5:08 pmIt is very appropriate for Fox News to avoid Obama’s presser. Fox has been – and will continue to be – a very polarizing and dishonest ‘news’ source for the gullible (like 54thursday). They don’t provide news (factual anyway) and 54thursday doesn’t want facts anyway – he wants quick and oh so clever talking points to try and befuddle the rest of us.
Quick question for the losers (54thursday): Who you going to allow to heal and fix our country? Limbaugh or Obama and the US citizens. Limbaugh cares nothing for you – NOTHING! Only himself and his underaged sex toys (maybe 54thursday is one of them?) Could it be?

Great, free choice at work, the away it is supposed to be.
April 27th, 2009 at 5:08 pmThey really should rename the Birch channel news to BOX
April 27th, 2009 at 5:09 pmTo be honest I didnt watch a single televised Bush event
Me neither. But I don’t need someone else making that decision for me, like the Wingtards.
I would not have welcomed any network avoiding his sheer stupidity.
The World needed to know.
April 27th, 2009 at 5:11 pmEither Fox will lose viewers for “Lie to Me,” given Obama’s popularity, or they’ve determined that the demographics of those who watch that show don’t care about politics.
April 27th, 2009 at 5:11 pmOr maybe after Koch… KOX News
April 27th, 2009 at 5:12 pmI concur.
April 27th, 2009 at 5:12 pmFox News should be reminded that the airwaves are not republican airwaves nor democrat airwaves. They are PUBLIC AIRWAVES and under FCC rules they have an obligation to provide a public service to viewers. By not airing Obama’s speech, they are in violation of FCC rules and must be either fined or face loss of license.
Good job Fixed News. You did yourself in real good this time.
April 27th, 2009 at 5:13 pmSorry I didn’t include in my post above, but some of you seem to be confusing Fox Network TV with the Fox News Channel.
April 27th, 2009 at 5:14 pmThis isn’t as much news as it is evidence that Fox just has their own negative opinion about this conference and our President.
The thing that makes me wonder, however, is that I don’t think the four major networks ignored any of the prime-time speeches that Bush did. At least, if one network showed it, the other three did, as well.
Fox will be back on the wagon once the President gives us his “State of the Union” address.

First of all… What? Where did you learn to form sentences? Wherever it was, next time you are there, get me some pickled pigs feet out of the jar. “Them’s good eatin’”
Second, I understand that you want to crush everything and everyone for not wanting to do things your way. “Take away their licenses”… and such. How very Progressive of you. Why are you so afraid of the free market? And why pick on Fox? Why don’t you go after the shopping Channel for not airing the speech? Wait I understand, you don’t want to shut down the one company that provides all of the jewelery that you where to the local Bingo Night.

It doesn’t matter. They are a news outlet and still must provide a public service to viewers. That includes presidential speeches.
April 27th, 2009 at 5:18 pmSounds kinda boring…
April 27th, 2009 at 5:19 pm
It is very sad that 54thursday equates lying and hiding pertinent information from the US citizens as ‘free choice’. I guess they do that ‘free choice’ thing in those ‘banana republics’ the GOP keep wishing for. Seems it would fit right in with 54thursday’s view of democracy: GOP good, democracy bad. They cannot use facts, facts are complicated. Stoopidity rules their world. They need simple phrasing and many small words.
April 27th, 2009 at 5:19 pmXisithrus: David Horowitz was a commie too, until the draft was stopped, then he became a right wing hack. People change. If we’re talking about the same guy, Roth was pretty good in “Resivour Dogs” as the gut-shot undercover cop.
April 27th, 2009 at 5:20 pmWell lie to me is what Fox News is all about so it makes since. Look if Americans aren’t interesting in what’s going on with the recession that causing them to lose jobs, homes and life saving then watch the Station that help cause it. Check the rating to see how well Fox News does and just what Americans really think and feel.
April 27th, 2009 at 5:20 pmMaybe because its costing the taxpayers 13+ trillion to bail out?
Cause they are fair and balanced and can deal with criticism?

April 27th, 2009 at 5:26 pm
Fox News, having won in court the right to lie on FCC provided airwaves, doesn’t want to broadcast the press conference.
Here’s Fox editing a clip of Obama at a town hall meeting changing what was said

OK the free market is causing the bail out. Only on this board would you feel comfortable enough to spout something that stupid.

Instead of the shopping channel? I think that they are very fair and balanced the way that they market those pocket fishermen.
April 27th, 2009 at 5:28 pmFrom business stand point it kind of makes sense. People who watch Fox don’t have any interest in what Obama has to say.
April 27th, 2009 at 5:29 pmBy not airing the actual press conference, it is much easier for Fox News pundits to lie about it to their LIV viewership.
April 27th, 2009 at 5:29 pmThey won’t cover Obama, but they advertised for and covered the failure of the tea baggers?

_____________________________________________________
It’s going to be difficult to make an accurate comparison, since the people who will be watching Obama will be watching on all the other networks, plus the cable news networks — causing the audience to be split several different ways (and some will be listening on NPR and avoiding television altogether). “Lie to Me” will probably do great, because it’s the only place the mouth-breathers will have to go.

April 27th, 2009 at 5:35 pmI hear there’s a missing white woman somewhere.
The headline should read: “FOX admits Obama’s 100 days conference is going to be totally awesome and that there’s no way they can rebut it.”
Or perhaps, “FOX officially no longer counts as a major television network.”

No they’re not. No such requirement exists at present. There might be rules that kick in for an emergency address of some sort, but Obama’s planned speech is not technically that critical.
FOX watchers are making their own choice not to listen to him. FOX is not making that decision on their behalf.
A significant portion of public airwaves are given over to private interests. We have found that works pretty well, as opposed to those regimes that only allow pre-approved content on the air.

Sidenote: 54 matches thursday’s IQ.
April 27th, 2009 at 5:38 pmThe fact is that wall street lobbied congress to the tune of some 5 billion over the last decade which resulted the gutting of Glass-Steagall which then led to all this speculation and derivatives gambling and the investment banks becoming highly leveraged…they did not keep their capital reserves high enough which meant that a small loss [3%] could lead to bankruptcy and yes it was these ‘free marketeers’ that lobbied the government for bailouts.
April 27th, 2009 at 5:39 pmLook. Fux knows their demographic: imbeciles. And they also know that imbeciles have no business hearing directly from the POTUS that everything they’ve heard for the past one hundred days from Fux has been total bullshit.
If anyone in this country with a television doesn’t yet know Fux Nuts is a squawk box for the Republican Wingtard Party, it’s because that’s the only “news” channel they get, and they’re too big an imbecile to seek alternatives, or they’re an imbecile and watch by choice. Either way, there’s always a danger of some of them waking up if they hear truth spoken to power right out of the president’s mouth; best to leave fair and balanced to other, actual news networks.

Welcome to the state America has been left in in the post-Bush era. Even if you hate Obama, you’ve got to admit that everybody else is worse. Which makes him the best. I’ll take that.
April 27th, 2009 at 5:40 pmWho cares? The majority of Fox viewers believe Obama is a loser anyway. Isn’t he? How many Bush press conferences did CNN refuse to air? Many. Obama is too busy coordinating NYC flyovers by passenger jets to do a press conference anyway.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
THAT is not that cut and dried. They DO have an obligation to perform a public service. It isnt up to you OR me to say this doesnt count. THAT is a democratic decision and the argument could CLEARLY be made that this DOES violate that obligation.
FOX watchers are making their own choice not to listen to him. FOX is not making that decision on their behalf.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
A reasonable argument. It could be used as a dodge to duck THEIR responsibility by saying well since the other networks are showing it we dont have to.

Really? Check out BBC news then CNN and Fox then get back to me and try that argument again.

They cant dodge it by saying the other networks are performing THIER public service so WE dont have to perform OURS. Any of this get through to your impenetrable wall of stupid?

April 27th, 2009 at 5:55 pmI have noticed that Fox rarely shows Obama speak live. I suspect they prefer having their “analysts” review his speeches before airing select sound bites and then editorializing the story. In short, Fox avoids allowing Obama to speak for himself by minimizing its live coverage of his speeches.

April 27th, 2009 at 5:56 pmOMG, can you imagine the accusations, questions of patriotism, name calling, and general apoplexy of FOX news and the republican leadership if ABC, CBS or NBC had refused to air one of Bush’s enlightening press conferences?
They would have called for a loyalty test and full boycott. For months.
April 27th, 2009 at 5:56 pmWe as humans make assumptions everyday. I made an educated one. I think that it is strong enough to stand on it’s own. Unless of course you think that no one will watch Fox instead of the Obama blab fest. Do you think that he uses the teleprompter while boning his wife?? Oh honey I am going to ….. Damn teleprompter.

Best choice out of those two, correct. Do you honestly think that no one else in America could do a better job than Obama. I don’t think that you are being intellectually honest.

April 27th, 2009 at 6:14 pmAh, the poor things! They can’t comprehend that President Obama has had a positive, stabilizing, effect on our government and about 70% of people recognize that and are cautiously optimistic that things are looking up.
The worldwide economic free fall has stopped. Job losses are slowing. Some other economic indicators, including the DOW, have shown improvement and the volume of trade is returning to pre-crash levels.
And that’s not even mentioning the overwhelming diplomatic successes already achieved by our new honorable, respectful, knowledgeable President. The Reichwhiners can’t afford to let that information get to the 28%ers. Though, to be fair, the only ones who would sit through an Obama speech are the ones who can’t reach the remote and there’s little chance they would comprehend what’s being said.
April 27th, 2009 at 6:16 pmThursday with an IQ of 54 obviously believes that the airwaves are for Rethuglikkklans only. Even a trained circus monkey knows that Fox News is obligated under FCC rules to provide a public service to viewers without bias towards either political party or position. However, Faux is nothing more than an arm for the Reich wing and their agenda of torture hate and fear. No wonder the Rethugs cringe whenever someone says fairness doctrine. He’s afraid of sharing the airwaves with an opposing view. Typical tool.
April 27th, 2009 at 6:17 pmAll the major networks carried all Bush press conferences, to my knowledge. Not so Faux, which won’t have the opportunity to cut and edit Obama’s remarks to put him in the worst light possible, so they are cutting him out altogether. This is just one more example that Faux News is not a legitimate news operation, but a faux news, propaganda machine that has to filter everything. Thanks, Faux. I can add this to my list of examples to show one of my family members how absurd this cable outfit really is.
April 27th, 2009 at 6:19 pmWhat would FOX have said if the other networks had not shown a Bush speech and said well Fox is covering it? I mean Bush’s approval ratings there at the end were about par with tooth decay. The screaming from the rightwing would have knocked the Earth off of its axis

You have some nerve to write this statement after watching that imbecile president you voted for and supported: president george W. bush and corporate criminal cheney spew out all that crap (connections between Hussein $ Bin Laden and weapons of mass destruction) that got thousands upon thousands upon thousands of brave American troops killed or maimed for life in Iraq.

After watching one of the most inarticulate president’s in U.S. history for the past 8 years, stumbling & bumbling through words that he read off of 3 x 5 index cards, I don’t think anyone out in the real world is going to take you seriously. Honestly, and I’m not being sarcastic, but Bush Jr. sounded like he flunked every course in every subject he ever tried studying.
When you criticize President Barack Hussein Obama, our President and our Commander-in-Chief, when he uses a telepromter for an opening statement and then answers questions from the media in an articulate and eloquent manner with words containing several syllables, I’m proud of him.

April 27th, 2009 at 6:52 pmWho cares. It’s not like Fox viewers can understand half of what Obama is saying. They’re so use to have a president who never answers any questions, and when he finally does, he sounds like bozo the clown – That anytime they watch Obama, they go into anaphylactic shock.

April 27th, 2009 at 7:55 pmIf they don’t cover Obama, their loyal audience will get the filtered version later, after they have edited the tape.
If they were to show the tape in real time, their audience might actually find that Obama is sensible.
ooooh, I can see it now: Karl — If My Lips Are Movin’, I Still Haven’t Graduated from Any College — Rove will grace Fox with his presence on the 101st day and let the viewers know everything he believes they’re entitled to know, with his special take.

Could you guys maybe explain the “teleprompter” thing you keep going on about? Everybody involved in Presidential politics since the teleprompter was invented has used it for every important address they make. Before they had the groovy reflected-digital ones, they used the kind where you crank a cel over a light. That’s been the case since Kennedy. You might as well accuse Obama of needing shoelaces to keep his shoes on.
Is that all you got? Every time y’all pull “teleprompter” out of your ass, all us libs think “awesome, if that’s the only thing they have to criticize, then we’re in great shape!”
The most you have to criticize Obama in extemporaneous speaking is that he says “uhh” more than the average person. Which is indicative of someone who’s thinking ahead while they’re talking.

I guess I will make what arguments I choose the way I think best. I dont much care if you like it. They DO have EXACTLY the obligation I cited. I have previously linked to the FCC website which says EXACTLY that. It isnt up to YOU or me or FOX to decide what that is and it is certainly arguable that NOT carrying a presidential speech is evading that responsibility. I dont see how much plainer I can make it. I SAID it wasnt cut and dried but the argument can CERTAINLY be made.

No they dont. They pay for the licence that is NOT rent. It is a flat fee. That would be like saying that by paying the security deposit I am paying rent on an apartment. The resource they are using is ours and their use of it is ONGOING MOST resources being exploited would pay a royalty. IF you drilled for oil on my land I wouldnt just get a flat fee I would get a percentage of what the oil was worth. The rersource they are using is worth billions and they arent paying any where NEAR a ‘free market’ price for it.

April 27th, 2009 at 10:01 pmAmerican Idol is the reason they aren’t running the press conference.
April 27th, 2009 at 10:09 pmThe thing to keep in mind is that the shrieking losers have sworn to never listen to a word our President ever says anyway. The hardcore 28%ers, like our pet rolls, are impervious to reality. They’ll spend the next month blathering about two or three words that scared Bill0 and Becky and Lush without ever having exposed themselves to the actual speech.
Of course, if they started paying attention at this point they would risk learning that every ongoing crisis Obama inherited, with the possible exception of the Afghanistan/Pakistan boarder, is showing some sign of improvement. Even the hemorrhage of jobs is slowing and employment tends to lag behind a general recovery. It’s amazing how much, and how quickly, things can improve with competent people in charge.
While the Reichwhiners sit in their basements with a pile of hoarded weapons the real world is going about the business of repairing the damage of recent years.

Why are you “progressives” all so angry? This should be your summer of love. You have a muslim socialist kenyan immigrant in the White House and you control both houses. Please explain all the anger. Just remember your savior O said “lets not look back” So lets all move forward with love.

Hey proud, you do a good imitation of Rush. Do you know him like personal, or do you just listen a lot. Maybe you are the king dittohead himself.
just curious

Ya got that right. But? They’ll also refuse to buy energy efficient light bulbs because, as Crazy Shelly(Bachmann- InsaneR,Mn.) says, “we’re free to use any light bulbs we want“.
There’s really no hope in trying to argue with stupidity of that level.

Do you think that he uses the teleprompter while boning his wife??

I bet Ronnie Raygun did. And he called her “Mommy.”

At least it only happened when Nancy’s astrologer said the stars were in the right alignment. Heck! That astrologer might have saved us from a nuclear holocaust.
April 27th, 2009 at 11:12 pmTalking to the trolls just seems to be a lost cause. They obviously have some deep set need to be called names and validate that low self esteem. They’re just in the tantrum phase on the path to acceptance.
Again, with teleprompter crap. I’d like to see you morons memorize the lengthy speeches and remarks he has to make and again, he isn’t the only person who uses one. Get over it.
Finally to RC, I hope you don’t loose your healthcare one day. Then you’ll know what it’s like to die from diseases that could easily be treated. Bottom line it you’re selfish.
…and if you’d rather be watching Flipper, why are you still here?
Let Fox not air it. That “fair and balanced” facade will finally be out for all to see.
April 27th, 2009 at 11:12 pmOh and if I recall RC you said you’re a disabled veteran correct? Guess who’s paying for your health care? Guess that makes you a socialist for accepting! Oh noes!
April 27th, 2009 at 11:15 pmI ask proud a simple question. He couldn’t give me a simple answer. I am shocked!
I think he is a secret Rush admirer.
That explains the rants.
Disappointed, flight

No they dont. They pay for the licence that is NOT rent. It is a flat fee. That would be like saying that by paying the security deposit I am paying rent on an apartment.
They have to pay to renew the licenses on a regular basis.

The rersource they are using is worth billions and they arent paying any where NEAR a ‘free market’ price for it.
I’d be open to auctioning it. Put airtime bandwidth on eBay.

All Internet Republicans are combat veterans and small business owners. Didn’t you realize that by now?

IF they want to claim it is in ANY way a free market YES auction it off for the ROYALTIES. A percentage of what it is worth to THEM.

Shorter Foxpravda:
Celebrating the first 100 days only serves to embolden the Obama Administration.
.
April 28th, 2009 at 2:35 amWell, its easier to prepare baseless ad-hominem attacks if you dont watch…right?
Because FOX hates the MSM so much, there’s no way they will tune into any of those stations. Therefor, you know they wont watch, or have a base for their critiques.
April 28th, 2009 at 9:13 amFox News is covering Obama.
Bring up your game please TP?
An entire thread here of folks making fools of themselves, courtesy of your pleasant little disinfo bit up there.
We need serious contenders, not more disinformation,
not more BS please.
Bring up your game, or become irrelevant outside of your little circus tent.
April 28th, 2009 at 10:57 amTraciest – Don’t watch it. Then move to North Korea and STFU you xenophobe.
April 28th, 2009 at 11:51 amDear Tracist, Your parents lied to you. There is no Sanata Clause or Easter Bunnie or Tooth Ferry.
April 28th, 2009 at 1:05 pmWell thank you for that information. I will try to remember that after I enjoy basking in the Democratic “Messiah Majority”.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! See ya in 2012 b!tches!
April 28th, 2009 at 2:22 pmWho cares about the “significance” of Obama’s first 100 days anyway
April 28th, 2009 at 10:48 pmObama has many press (teleprompter) conferences. Who other than CNN and MSNBC could possibly keep up with all of them?
April 28th, 2009 at 10:51 pmJust out of curiosity, when G.W. Bush was denied access to NBC, where were all of you?
