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.

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.

"Networks Likely To Turn Down Obama Primetime Request"

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.

[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.

OBAMA: BAD FOR PROFITS

[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?

[Gritty]

How long before this Democrat Congress and Democrat Administration get the bright idea to start appropriating public money to buy the same air time for these important and necessary "public" national leadership events on network TV?

After all, this is chump change to them and it's all a part of "serving the people" and keeping them properly informed, is it not?

[Enterprise]

Dear networks. So you think you are tough enough to turn your master away? What part of THIS don't you pansies understand:

"Who the f*** do you think you're dealing with? We'll have the IRS audit your fund. Every one of your employees. Your investors. Then we will have the Securities and Exchange Commission rip through your books looking for anything and everything and nothing we find to destroy you with."

"We will continue to make our decisions on White House requests on a case-by-case basis, but the Fox decision gives us cover to reject a request if we feel that there is no urgent breaking news that is going to be discussed," one network exec told the trade publication."

You people at the networks don't quite understand do you? First, it is never a request from Obama, it is a demand. Second, it doesn't matter if YOU lose money, it only matters that the messiah gets on prime time at a time of his convenience. So as the great Pamela Lee said - "Suck it."

[Joan Kerrey]

Pretty brave of them. I’ve heard this administration has specialist in kneecaps and legs willing to apply their expertise.
