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.

Well, Fox is no bargain either. This morning I went to watch Dr. Isidore Rosenfeldt’s 20 minute segment which appears on Fox on Sunday mornings. Instead of the good doctor along with the two Fox reporters broadcasting from NYC, in their place were two Fox reporters broadcasting from DC. As one can easily surmise, they were spending all of their time talking about the ascension of Obama to the White House. Time to keep the TV tuned to the Home and Garden cable channel for the next three days.

Circus? There’s a circus in town? Oh that circus. Never mind. I don’t need to see it either.

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

That’s the point I’m interested in. Is the concert paid for by tax money? If so, will the taxpayers be reimburssed before the Obama team pockets any money?

I refuse to watch anything associated with the American (Presidential) Idol orgy.

Folks, we’re witnessing the fall of America. Unreal.
