NEW YORK – 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.

I love it.
and, I HIGHLY recommend LIE TO ME to all Freepers. It is one of the best new shows on television.
One of my favorite things they do is that when one of the characters points out a specific facial gesture (Disgust, Anger, lying, etc) they show a couple examples — and some of thier favortie targets are Obama, Biden, Bill C, and AlGore. To be fair they also show Bush, Cheney and Rice a lot too, but the Dems seem to be in the majority of faces shown.

Obama abuses the privilege of television networks. He thinks he is more important than he really is.

"The number of times the MSM nets refused Bush airtime requests numbered in the dozens, maybe more." Didn't some of the main networks not show Bush's State of the Union Addresses?

So in other words, all networks are going to be airing “Lie To Me”. That’s just plain funny.
To: Cementjungle; Big_Monkey
That's what I'm thinking-something bad is going to happen to Fox-it will be considered a suicide
To: avacado
I don’t recall that, but I wouldn’t drop my jaw if it had happened.

May be a subliminal slap at the ONE. If it is, congrats to whoever made that decision. I am really glad to some at least one news outlet,network that is not getting on their knees for this abortion of a president.
Change.
To: Big_Monkey
Thank God. I actually thought they were going to screw with American Idol again...this is fine and Lie to Me should thrive in the ratings.
