Fox News Reports "Pay for Play" Inaugural Events

Posted on 01/18/2009 10:13:59 AM PST by azlinda

FNC just announced that HBO paid BHO millions of dollars to run a 4-hour concert that will only be made available to those who have HBO or digital cable.

There are also some other events that have been bought and paid for that millions of Americans will not be able to see as BHO has received money for exclusive rights. One of these programs is right on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

The guest from MRC on Fox said that he doubts any other networds will report on this.

So much for Obama's promise to be a president "for all the people."

For myself, I don't care because I don't plan to watch any of these so-called festivities. As soon as they begin, my TV will be turned off until all this farce is over.

Anyone surprised? Take note liberal voters. Here is your Chicago street thug in action — and he is not even president yet.

The only change will be out of every pocket. Farce, indeed.

HBO is making the concert available online.

HBO has the rights to the Lincoln Memorial concert. They are making it available online (and possibly through cable outlets).

Lincoln Memorial concert, via HBO

I don’t get HBO, but I do have DirecTV. Occasionally they offer a free weekend like THIS weekeend. For HBO to pay BHO big money AND give it away free show how deep the desire to spread the propaganda goes.

HBO has asked cable/satellite companies to make the broadcast available to all cable/satellite subscribers.

Check you local cable/satellite. They may broadcast it.

Hillary Clinton avoided ethics charges when she received an $8million advance years ahead of her manuscript on her autobiography because she accepted the money from Viacom in the window between winning the Senate seat and being sworn in.

What’s Obambi’s miserable excuse seeing as it comes ON inauguration day?

I care only because my tax dollars are being used to make money for someone else.
