Fox sticking with schedule instead of Obama
Yahoo News ^ | April 27, 2009 | AP

Posted on 04/27/2009 4:37:36 PM PDT by Pondo

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.

The Obama Administration, Pelosi, Reid the DNC and the entire main stream media “diss” FOX all the time, so I applaud FOX.

This is probably what he was reportedly furious about and not the Air Force 1 fiasco in NY this morning as stated.

Kinda remindes me of the leftist celebration of the 100th day of school in the government schools....

...this administration is at that level...primary school.

God bless Fox for being courageous. We must support them Wednesday and everyday. May their ratings be more than all the others combined. We should wean ourselves off the liberal networks altogether. Forever!

Kudos to Fox. Hope you rack up the ratings.

In the end, Fox proves that the other networks are full of ideologues instead of people concerned with profit. Fox destroys the other news channels yet the other networks refuse to implement any similar formatting. Yet when any network introduces a new entertainment commodity, other networks quickly copy the format and flood the market with similar themes (think “Who wants to be a millionaire”).

The Schnitt show said that one network (don’t remember which) stands to lose 8 million dollars in advertising revenue and they’re none too happy about it.

FANTASTIC! I’m actually going to watch “Lie to Me” this week (a lame-looking show) just because of this decision. And I’m going to write and call Fox and let them know how happy I am with their decision. AND, I’m going to write and call the other networks and let them know I’ll be watching Fox instead of Chairman Maobama’s show.

I’ve never seen ‘Lie to Me’, but I absolutely loved Tim Roth’s performance in Rob Roy.

I’ll be watching FOX!

Isn’t that what all dictators do, once they get in office...heck he’s never gotten out of acting like he’s still campaigning....and I guess he is.

No surprises here...he has acted like a little tin horn dictator wanna be since the first time out of the gate during the primaries....and for the life of me, I just don’t know how so many have been and apparently still are being taken in by this guy.

Maybe they should charge Obama $8M for lost advertising revenue, in exchange for airing his drivel (with the stipulation that it comes from either his campaign funds, or Soros’ Moveon.orgy funds, NOT taxpayer money). Seems like a perfectly conservative capitalist requirement to me. Not likely though, with those lib networks.

They could have just kept the title, “Lie to Me” and shown obama underneath.

This morning he blabbered on and on so Fox left him, then MSNBC then CNN. The honeymoon is so over.

Guess FOX people will get to go to the camps first.

Now let’s think about this. If that were the intent, who in the hell does he think is going to round millions of hard working, God fearing, law abiding AMERICANS? Local LEO. No way in hell. Military? 20% might, the other 80% no way in hell. ACORN? His Black Panthers? They would be outnumbered and outgunned.

Pathological Narcissism is a dangerous mental illness and the Kenyan is definitely suffering from it. He also has the worst type: Grandiose or Malignant: an exaggerated sense of self-importance, feels privileged, exploits others, and lusts after power. Pathological narcissism is a life-long pattern of traits and behaviors. It is an infatuation and obsession with one's self and the egotistic and ruthless pursuit of one's gratification, dominance and ambition.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a pattern of self-centered or egotistical behavior that shows up in thinking and behavior in a lot of different situations and activities. People with NPD won't (or can't) change their behavior even when it causes problems at work or when other people complain about the way they act, or when their behavior causes a lot of emotional distress to others (or themselves? none of my narcissists ever admit to being distressed by their own behavior -- they always blame other people for any problems).

This pattern of self-centered or egotistical behavior is not caused by current drug or alcohol use, head injury, acute psychotic episodes, or any other illness, but has been going on steadily at least since adolescence or early adulthood.

Whatever they may be doing, in their own view, they are the star, and they give the impression that they are bearing heroic responsibility for their family or department or company, that they have to take care of everything because their spouses or co-workers are undependable, uncooperative, or otherwise unfit. They ignore or denigrate the abilities and contributions of others and complain that they receive no help at all; they may inspire your sympathy or admiration for their stoicism in the face of hardship or unstinting self-sacrifice for the good of (undeserving) others.

But this everyday grandiosity is an aspect of narcissism that you may never catch on to unless you visit the narcissist's home or workplace and see for yourself that others are involved and are pulling their share of the load and, more often than not, are also pulling the narcissist's share as well.

Narcissists cultivate solipsistic or "autistic" fantasies, which is to say that they live in their own little worlds (and react with affront when reality dares to intrude).

They want praise, compliments, deference, and expressions of envy all the time, and they want to be told that everything they do is better than what others can do.

Sincerity is not an issue here; all that matter are frequency and volume. Narcissists use other people to get what they want without caring about the cost to the other people.

They are unwilling to recognize or sympathize with other people's feelings and needs. They "tune out" when other people want to talk about their own problems.

They show arrogant, haughty, patronizing, or contemptuous behaviors or attitudes.

SOUND FAMILIAR??? This isn't a joking matter, it's a very serious, dangerous mental illness and to have someone like this ruling the country with an iron fist, dangerous, dangerous, dangerous. I want to see his past medical records that he won't release. Guarantee you he has been on lots of meds.

He also demands to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements. Narcissists are obsessed with fantasies of unlimited success, fame, fearsome power or omnipotence, unequalled brilliance.

He requires excessive admiration, adulation, attention and affirmation - or, failing that, wishes to be feared and to be notorious. The narcissist feels entitled. He demands automatic and full compliance with his unreasonable expectations for special and favorable priority treatment. A a result, he is often "interpersonally exploitative", i.e., uses others to achieve his or her own ends.

Narcissists lack empathy. They are unable or unwilling to identify with, acknowledge, or accept the feelings, needs, preferences, priorities, and choices of others. The narcissist is arrogant and haughty. He feels superior, omnipotent, omniscient, invincible, immune, "above the law", and omnipresent (magical thinking). Rages when frustrated, contradicted, or confronted by people he considers inferior to him and unworthy.
