It seems Fox made the smart move by deciding not to air president Obama's 100th-day press conference. The network beat every other broadcaster, all of which were carrying the president's speech, in the ratings. Fox's new episode of Lie To Me drew 7.9 million viewers. Fox also got millions in advertising revenue by running a normal TV program instead of Obama's commercial-free address.
In second place for the 8 p.m. hour was NBC's airing of Obama's speech, which pulled in 6.7 million viewers.
Are people finally getting bored with Obama's frequent speeches?
Those who tuned in to this were expecting obama. But they got an even better show.
I watched something on Discovery Channel and then turned over to EWTN. Neither of them were showing King Zero or even mentioned him at all.
I wonder if the MSM is covering every speech - so they won’t miss it when he declares himself KING.

LOL!
Yeah, me too. But i don't have to watch the Obama hour to know that what he's saying would be lies.
NBC gets TARP money, they’ll be giving Obama ninaburleighs for ever.
Apparently some local FOX stations ran the Obama news conference. I was (mostly) watching NCIS.
Fox was right in not giving into to Obama’s ego trip. Remember when the main networks refused to carry Bushes Addresses? They are not newsworthy. The only Obama speech I will tune into is his stepping down from power and resigning from the presidency. Now that will be newsworthy.
You can watch it on Hulu at http://www.hulu.com/watch/70629/lie-to-me-undercover
... or perhaps “Rahm-rod”? It does appear to be their policy of choice, at least on the Hill and in the West Wing. (Further deponent speculateth not.)
Thank you!
