I say good for them.

He needs to worry more about his job than his dang teleprompters.

Oh no!

Maybe they are trying to make some ratings for those who don't want to watch another Obama speech...seeings how it will be on tons of other news channels...including Fox News Channel as always.

Making something out of nothing.

How is it sick? It's up to them what to air, and they decided not to let this one slide. It's not going to be anything different than the last... what... four press conferences he's had in the 100 days he's been president? Isn't that a little much?

I agree, don't feed his narcissism.

It doesn't matter at all to me if any division of FOX airs the press conference because I won't be watching their channel anyway. But the important question for me is does this pre-empt LOST on ABC?

If so,

Funny isn't it how visible he wants to be but how few of the rights he is trying to take from us just seem to be ignored by the MSM. I am so glad that I found ats so I can see what is going on behind the scenes.

Over saturation to the enth degree or what?????

That's right! Fox is so partisan, so hateful, that they won't air their PRESIDENT'S press conference! How sickening! How childish!

That's a completely unfair and inaccurate characterization of Fox News.

The news conference will be carried by at least 5 networks.

What's the problem?

Are you trying to tell us that Fox is your news network of choice?

Is your remote broken?

This is a total non-issue.

I think some have confused FOX Network and FOX News. FOX News will definately broadcast it.

Thanks for the clarification, RR.

A press conference? Well, he reads answers someone else quickly types into the teleprompter, and the answers are not answers, he just talks in circles without directly answering a question. And he doesn't like it when a question is asked that he doesn't want asked. Who wants to watch that?

Freedom of the press. You have the right to watch it on a channel that carries it, or not watch it. I choose to hang out here and not listen to the silver tongued devil.

I think this was a practical decision. obama makes frequent requests for prime time and it's got to be difficult for channels who depend on advertising revenue. If the speeches keep up at this rate, possibly the broadcast channels will decide to take turns broadcasting it so no one network has to lose so much revenue so frequently. It is appropriate for the news channels to carry it but there is no reason in the world for the mainstream channels to all carry it.

I have watched all his speeches and press conference thus far and they are frankly boring. Whatever he is making statements about is the days preceding the event is what he will say in the prime time event. Even the news conferences are a regurgitation of his own talking points. I have never learned one new thing from watching. He seems to believe that the force of his personality will win over everyone and neutralize doubt or even criticism, so tries to expose us to it as frequently as possible but it's getting to be old news.

Fox and CNN are owned by the same people , the illusion right left paradigm strikes again.

Fox has two stations. Why would they show the press conferance on both? Those who watch it on Fox news will get a good nights sleep and those choose to watch Fox network will laugh at some entertainment.


I will watch it I suppose as long as its on before or after Lost. I just hope it is alot better then his last one. Wonder how big a television he will use this time as his prompter.

My question is why didn't they do this before cable, you know when the President came on he came on every channel. There will be enough coverage of his press conference. I say all the conferences should stay on the dedicated news channels and free up the other channels.
