According to a report from THR.COM TELEVISION, the broadcast networks are considering asking President Obama to curtail prime-time appearances. No change of heart ideologically, mind you; the network execs are reported to be “seething” that Obama “has cost them about $30 million in cumulative ad revenue this year with his three primetime news conference pre-emptions.”

Attention Stockholders.

Any idiot running a broadcast network who fails to consider the costs associated with programming decisions should be fired immediately.

Just ask for a bailout and he’ll own you. It will be all Bambi, all the time.

He would go into a coma if he couldn’t campaign, constantly, on the TV.

They can ask all they want. Ain’t gonna happen. BO is going down the same path as Chavez and Castro. Doing 2-3 hour “speeches” everyday.

BO has only cost them $ 30 million? Chump change. Wait ‘til he finishes wrecking the economy and see what that does to their revenues.

Liberalism only goes so far . . . apparently it’s different when the hand of government is taking money out of their own pockets.

"Obama “has cost them about $30 million in cumulative ad revenue"

Ad Revenue is so Capitalistic, and Capitalism is so Twentieth Century....

Besides, the Narcissist-In-Chief needs his public exposure, or his ego might be damaged.

Plus, the MSM (Major Scumbag Media)'s job is to do what they are told. Who do they think they are, anyway?

“If the president wants to make it tough for your network, he can,” the exec added.

Another network executive confided, “Nobody wants to take on the White House, so we’ll have to tiptoe through this.”

I'll be dipped in sh*t and bronzed! They didn't fear the Bush White House! Now they fear the Hussein White House?

Where are the outcries about the 1st Amendment?

FOOLS!

Obama will own the networks soon with the 2 year license renewals his new FCC “diversity” committee is pushing.

Don’t like giving up prime time television revenue... then follow Fox and run your normally scheduled programming. Their ratings were great.
