Tomorrow night's Presidential news conference will be carried on three of the four major U.S. TV networks, but not on Fox. Fox says that the reason for this is not political...it's MONEY, HONEY! Fox airs their new drama, "Lie To Me." (Interesting title to be running opposite a political news conference.) The show will have commercials, the news conference will not. There is, of course, an advantage in airing the only entertainment show during the news conference. Ad revenue is based on ratings. An increasing audience for your show means that your commercial rates will also increase. Who knows? People might actually like the show and choose to watch it again! By the way, Fox News Channel and Fox Business Channel will carry the Obama show, tomorrow.
Do you thing that it may be a good idea for the President to allow for a few two minute breaks in his news conference? He'd say, "Yes,I'll answer that question right after these important messages...."
It's the American way!
