Default Enough is enough already

Fox won't air Obama press conference:

I don't blame them. When something really important happens, then it might be a good idea and that's a good attitude to have.

Not at all. It will be replayed during their news hour:

Boycott?

It’s not as though FOX is boycotting the president or anything. The network announced they will air Obama’s press conference on the FOX News Channel and the FOX Business network.

And to even be really helpful, the network promised to alert viewers “with an on-screen graphic at the top of the 8:00 PM (ET) hour that the press conference is available on Fox News Channel and the Fox Business Network.”

You'd hate to actually have a first hand opinion of the man, wouldn't you. The knee jerk opinion suits you better, doesn't it.

Doesn't bother me because:

a. I am not american, won't see it anyway.

b. If I'd want to see news about Obama, I wouldn't see it on FOX...

No Id just rather watch something more entertaining.

The left wing mainstream media will praise him, the right wing media will dissect and impune it.

Frankly most of these speaches which last at least 40 minutes (if the teleprompter doesent act up) can be distilled down to a couple of sentances.

In all reality, who cares? Anyone who is interested can catch the telecast on a boat load of stations, catch it on utube later, get the water downed points on the 11 o'clock news. In fact, is this really news or just someone looking to stir up crap were crap is not found?

Must be a slow news day
