Yeah, at one point, they realize how stupid they are to basically subsidizing 0bama all the time when they don't get much from him.

The paragraph is from imdb, and there's nothing more there.

[JudgemAll]

I suppose he’s going to “bail” them out for this and then impose his will and force them to put his face 24-7, mafya knee breaker loan shark style.

[MetaThought]

He's very dependent on the goodwill adoration of the networks. I don't know if he realizes this, though.

[This Just In]

Reminds me of Fidel Castro and Chavez.

I wouldn't bet on it. They've sold their souls to Ø, and he's not about to give them back. He owns them.

[iopscusa]

What a bunch of cowards using FOX to protect themselves from the tyrant BO.

[ChicagahAl]

"Reminds me of Fidel Castro and Chavez."

They're amateurs compared to this guy. For them tyranny is just a diversion. For Ø, it's his passion, his raison d'etre.

Soon the recalcitrant Pubbies will be the least of Obie's concerns. Battle lines are being drawn by Dems who ran as Conservative Dems and who want to be reelected along with the MSM. It will be interesting to see how the Pontificator in Chief handles this two from war.

What we see is not much different from many dictators in the 3rd world countries. Sometimes we forget that many—if not most—of them also came to power through election. Not unlike in those countries, in today’s America it is common that we go to bookstores, T-shirt stores, and other places and see the picture of Our Great Leader there.

Oops

two front war!!!

BO going for total saturation. Unfortunately, America isn’t completely made up of sponges, although, there are a few.

IMHO the key phrase of the article is:

“the Fox decision gives us cover”

This sums up the MSM’s approach to everything - pact mentality at its worse.The big name reporters of the past going all the way back to Poor Richard’s Almanac must be spinning in their graves.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

Obama is on TV almost everyday now. He never has anyhting new to say, so I just change the channel or go do something else. I wonder if these White House PR guys ever heard of “over saturation”.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Bull crap. They are Hussein worshipers through and through. They’ll bow their knees before him and obey.

[1010RD]

You're right, but tyranny is too sophisticated a word.

They're in it for personal aggrandizement and the power high.

They love to reach out and make something happen. Cook County Dems are the Emperors of Control.

Control freak is just too tame a word.

OBAMA: BAD FOR PROFITS

[RU88]

“They love to reach out and make something happen”

And here in lies the problem. Change for change sake is never a good thing unless you know what you’re doing. If you don’t you may change things in ways no one could ever imagine. Sometimes the best course of action is to do nothing, which is something that “progressives” never understood.

[Alberta's Child]

Networks take a big hit when they pre-empt their normal schedule like this. Not only are they losing the ad revenue as the article states, but they're losing one important thing that provides "brand/product differentiation" for them compared to other media outlets: their prime-time programs.

[listenhillary]

He’s fired CEO’s and nationalized our auto industry. Think that he will let a few media bigwigs stand in his way?

[ladyvet]

He is on TV almost everyday now. Have they made a horizontal bobble-head of him yet?
