Fox Declines To Air Obama Press Conference

April 27, 2009 · Filed Under Barack Obama, Media

President Obama is celebrating his first 100 days in office by scheduling another prime-time press conference next week. This time however, The Fox Network isn’t playing ball. Fox says it will not carry Obama’s press conference and instead will premiere a new episode of “Lie To Me.” (That title is purely coincidental I’m sure)

Considering how much time Obama’s head is on our television screens with words coming out of his mouth, I really don’t think it’s gonna be any great loss. The president should celebrate his 100 days in office by doing something unexpected — like not coming on TV and bloviating for an hour.

Ironically, while “Lie to Me” starring Tim Roth is airing on Fox, “Lie to You” starring Barry Obama will be airing on those other networks.
