FOX news refused to air Obama's 100 day Press Conference. How hateful is that?

CNN and MSNBC refused to report the truth about the tea parties, but instead made up lies. How hateful is that? Obama is like the kid with jam all over his face swearing he didn't get into jar.

Oh give me a freaking break. That is a complete and utter lie. I just KNEW someone would make that claimYou need to get your facts straight. FOX NEWS AIRED THE PRESS CONFERENCE IN ITS ENTIRETY. The Fox network channel chose not to air the press conference because his last press conference only had 4.2 million viewers on Fox, whereas the show that would have been preempted (Lie to Me)has an average of 13.2 million viewers. It was about numbers, plain and simple. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/27/fox-not-airing-obama-pres_n_191954.html Pay especially close attention to this part. "It's not without precedent for the network; Fox didn't carry a prime-time speech by President George W. Bush in November 2001 despite a request from the White House." It wasn't hateful then and it isn't now.

hateful? It's on every other channel. Do you know how much money the stations loose every time the president wants to do these long speeches of the same old? They did air it on the Actual fox news channel and the Fox Business Network. Just their other channel their actual tv series one they will allow their hit show "lie to me" to air. They once did the same thing when Bush did a prime time conference. It wasn't hateful it was giving their viewers what they want. Not everyone is interested in listening to the president. I for one read what he said, I didn't want to watch him yet again saying the same exact thing over and over again. I'll see the recaps of the highlights on the news later. It was a very smart move to boost popularity for their series to be the only thing to watch if you didn't want to watch the president. It was a financial business move. That is why Fox is number one in the ratings time and time again. I'm just glad he didn't move American Idol again.

NBC aired it, ABC aired it, CBS aired it, MSNBC aired it, CNN aired it, So what is the big deal if Fox does not want to air it. Maybe some would like to watch something else. Unless your TV only gets Fox you do have options. Is that not what makes America great, option?

FOX ran the crime show "Lie to Me" at the same time as Obama's "Presidential Lie to America" broadcast. I preferred to watch the FOX lies and at least I knew they were only being aired as an entertainment show not as political crap.

I think is wonderful. Finally a new station that's not afraid to say they are tired of hearing him. If you want to know what America has come to please note that the station had more viewers then all the other stations at the same time. Most of what he say today was said by Bush for the last 8 years. He is the President not a rock star. I don't need to see him on TV ever time I turn it on. Even thought many Americans still think he walks on water even they have to admit his shoes are starting to get wet.

What fools! That was one of the best presidential press conferences I've ever seen and I'm glad I didn't miss it.

You can always change channels.... Good for them, maybe they are as tired of his lies (speech readings) as most of the citizens of the USA. What he said wasn't worth the time the stations gave him. I'm sure the people at FOX knew that it would be a waste of time. It's their TV station and they were exercising their rights, which wont be anyones right if Obama gets his way and takes over the TV stations, newspapers and all other forms of news.

well it is their news station, they have the right to air selected news.

This is such a bold faced lie. Fox News did air the press conference as others said. The Fox Network refused to air the conference because to them it made the most business sense. In case any one is wondering, they are two different entities. One is dedicated to reporting News all day long hence FOX NEWS. The other does programing and aired "Lie To Me" as part of their regular programming. Two different channels, two different types of programs. Besides, he was on all the other programming networks. At least Fox gave you an option when you wanted to change channels. Truth be told, I am so over seeing the President on tv all the time. There is such a thing as overload. Frankly, I would rather have a break from seeing the President all the time.

You know, smallT, my son just mentioned how bad FOX news is when he was here yesterday. He said he just won't watch it. I don't watch it, either. I never have liked them or their coverage of anything. Maybe they thought this swine flu thing was more important. Whatever their reasoning, I think it was wrong of them to not cover Obama's conference, although it did seem to be covered everywhere else. I was anxious to watch it because, although some things he's done didn't turn out exactly the way he had planned (it certainly wasn't his fault that it didn't turn out right... it was those #%$&$#! CEO's fault), I think he's doing a great job of trying to fix the mess he was handed when he took office. No, FOX news is not on my "must watch" list! Just the opposite, actually.

You know- there are a lot of great shows on fox that some of us don't want canceled- since you can watch 'Mr.President' say "and,uh" on several other networks- seems like Fox is just supporting the fairness doctrine by giving others a chance to watch what they want. No offense intended- but I do agree we can't depend on any news media to just report and not editorialize or be selective in what and how musch of the truth they report.

About as hateful as Obama making disrespectful and uncalled for comments about the tea party goers. I don't know if fox news showed it. I did not watch fox news. But I did see his comments and I think he owes a couple million americans an apology.

I watched it, and he said absolutely nothing. I'm not playing favorites, Bush was the same way. As a previous poster stated, you really didn't miss much.

They are haters anyway! they are very basis anyway. i didn't watch it, but i recorded it. that news show is the worst on tv. I never watch the news, but i really never watch them, or read the post!!

Well you didn't miss anything. Besides the other three very biased left leaning networks carried it so what is your problem.

Are you for real? It wasn't Fox News, Cupcake, it was the Fox channel, that broadcasts tv shows, such as American Idol. And Fox News broadcast Obama's speech, because I watched it, lol. It about put me to sleep. Not one question about the Air Force One plane buzzing New York..Oh well. Could it be because Obama had selected the reporters before hand, and the questions were screened? You need to be more concerned with censorship, Cupcake, and not whether channels have the right to block Obama's appearances, because they do. They lose money when they carry the President's speeches or appearances. NBC, or was it CBS, or was going to have a charity scheduled during that time, but, oh well, it was important to show a boring speech/appearance by the President. Please get your facts straight.

This is not a first. I know that at least NBC did not carry one of Bush's press conferences. I do not see a problem with it since there are so many ways to get access to the information. Any of the networks lose out on millions in revenue when they carry one of these and this is President Obama's third one in 100 days. I think that is more than enough since he was not announcing any new policy in the conference just putting a good spin on his first 100 days. I can sum it up for you. He claimed to have to accomplishments. 1. Spent trillions and trillions of dollars to create 150,000 jobs. 2. Apologized to the world for being the worst country on the face of the planet. If you want the transcript of his comments it can be found at http://www.c-span.org

I'm not surprised. FOX is not the most reputable news source around. Our local station broadcast it here in Minnesota, and I really enjoyed it. I felt that President Obama did a wonderful job answering the questions he could. Obviously when it came to the torture documents, some have not been declassified yet so he was unable to respond, but I felt he handled it nicely. I was really glad I took the time to listen, because he answered a lot of the questions I had, simply from people posting misinformation or yellow journalists turning things around or taking things out of context. I feel sad for those who didn't take the time to listen to him answer, and truly see just how genuine he is. I am impressed with how much he's done in his first 100 days, and I will continue to watch as he does the job he was elected to do. Namaste-Anora

Let me see...so it's okay for ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, and CNN to mock, vilify, speak nothing but hate toward, and just utterly refuse to air the tea parties a couple of weeks ago, but FOX not reporting Obama's press conference is 'hateful'? In my humble opinion, what goes around comes around, and it certainly did so here.
