Fox denies Obama prime time slot celebrating his first 100 days in favour of Tim Roth's 'Lie to Me'

The honeymoon is over for Barack Obama - at least, according to Fox.

The U.S. president celebrates his first 100 days in office tomorrow - but one network appears to have finally tired of Obamamania.

The right-wing Fox network has denied a presidential request to show his prime-time news conference tomorrow night.

Instead, the network is sticking with its regularly scheduled programming - in this case, an episode of British actor Tim Roth's drama 'Lie to Me'.

It's the first time a broadcast network has refused Mr Obama's request.

This will be the third prime-time news conference in Mr Obama's presidency.

ABC, CBS and NBC are all airing it.
