From the AP:
The Fox network is sticking with its regular schedule over President Barack Obama this week.
The network is turning down the president’s request to show his prime-time news conference on Wednesday. The news conference marks Obama’s 100th day in office. Instead of the president, Fox viewers will see an episode of the Tim Roth drama “Lie to Me.”It’s the first time a broadcast network has refused Obama’s request. This will be the third prime-time news conference in Obama’s presidency. ABC, CBS and NBC are airing it.
Move along, nothing to see here... pay no attention to the warmth, candor and soothing rhetoric on all the other channels.
'Sides, he's just reading it off a teleprompter.

Congratulations to FOX!! How many stations do you need for that, anyway? It,s
refreshing to see that there is some true independence in our media.

It's a shame when television uses its influence in the politics instead of sticking to the facts. Fact is alot of people support the president and what to hear what he has to say. I was disappointed to see the conference on all the other local channels and not FOX 4. By not showing the presidential conference its showing its CONSERVATIVE SIDE. I will no longer wathc FOX 4.

Just shows how much the " Fair and balanced" slogan is BS.Every one knows that Fox News (?) is a arm of the RNC. They are commenttators NOT news men. They slant all news stories toward the Republican view point.
As for Hannity,I turn to another channel if I happen to be on FOX when he comes on.
