Most will carry Obama conference; time shifted after NBC balked
thrfeed.com ^ | 7/20/09 | staff

Posted on 07/20/2009 8:44:09 PM PDT by Nachum

UPDATED: After some hesitation and a time shift, three major broadcast networks have agreed to carry Barack Obama's latest primetime news conference.

The event was announced Friday afternoon as Obama battles to bolster congressional support for an ambitious health-care overhaul while facing dropping approval ratings.

But broadcasters are struggling with falling approval ratings of their own; Nielsen's audience measurements show viewership in a summertime slump.

They may carry it...but I do not know anyone who will watch it.

I, like most people I know, are sick of hearing this guy flap his jaws. His words are meaningless anyway. He has proven to say whatever he thinks people want to hear and then carry on with his radical marxist agenda.

Go ahead Obama... PLEASE!!!... Flood cable news with mandated presidential coverage ALL YOU WANT!...

Pass a law which requires all cable networks give up equal amounts of “prime time” for national public interest...
The more you get out there and talk, the better!!!

Besides... I dont subscribe to cable anymore... so it wont bother me.

The Obama ass-kissing alphabet nets can show it all they want but only delusional libtards will watch it. Or Freepers who volunteer to waste their time and report to the rest of us what kind of new BS this illegal alien is shoving down our throats.

Great plan, OmamaJeans. If your popularity is slipping, why not park your mug on our TVs and interrupt our programs AGAIN?!

Sheesh, good thing this guy’s not worried about overexposure.

A Tantrum, nothing less than a tantrum. He wants his way on this thing he calls health care, and I don't think he'll be getting his way this time. I stopped watching him, but it may be interesting to see how he reacts to the resistance he is getting.

Agreed. Liars lie. And just listening to this fellow is to listen to lies. What's the point? Time is short, and not to be wasted.

I am actually feeling optomistic again. I don’t think Obama is going to get his Obamacare through and I think Cap and Trade is going to die a quick death in the Senate.

Obama is coming undone. He is snaping at people in his Town Hall meetings. He looks pissed off all the time. He is showing his true colors. When ObamaCare dies and Cap and Trade dies he is going to look real bad and his stil 50 some odd percent ratings will fall well below 50%.

It’s going to be fun to wath Obama crash and burn. To top it off, I have hope that he’ll be proven to be a Kenyan and will be taken from office in hand cuffs. Yeah, I know that means Plugs Biden becomes POTUS, but he’ll have no political capital and will be a lame duck.

Now, the Republicans just need to get in line, give America a true Conservative alternative to this madness and the left wing will sent to their rightful place, to quote Ronald Reagan, in the ashheap of history.

AFAIK, it is unprecedented for the MSM to gang together in this fashion to shill for any administration pet policy, let alone such a disastrous and wrongheaded one. They have completely abandoned any principles they might every have had. May they and 0bama pass on to obscurity - the sooner the better.

I am in charge this month at our local Republican Women’s Club..we have a raffle to raise money. One of the gifts I’m going to give is one of those Obama Commemorative Plates they’re selling at Walgreens...The winner gets to take the plate and break it any way they see fit! Doesn’t that sound like fun???

LOL! I live in the reddest county of GA. You cannot walk into a Walgreens without seeing that same display of obama commerative crap. The only merchandise that moved was the Chia head. No one bought them, Walgreen’s had to make them ‘disappear.’

Smashing the plates sounds like fun. Sure could relieve alot of built up tension!

Yes, but the Senate on Friday approved the attachment of the "Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Bill" to the $650 billion Defense Authorization Bill. This is almost word-for-word the law which Canada has used to arrest and imprison pastors who preached against homosexuality, and to bar parents from schools where they protested the enaction of homosexual curriculum

NO ONE on FR is talking about it. AND IT PASSED!!! Now the bill goes to conference. Unless religious Americans, and all American parents concerned for their children in schools stand up and stop this bill, it will become law within a month.

The conference will mark the president's fourth primetime press event since he took office six months ago. Such interruptions tend to wreak havoc with network schedules and can cost millions in lost advertising.

Not to mention really pi$$ off folks who are just looking to kick back and watch some light TV of a summer evening. They'll be extremely annoyed to see That One taking up MORE time from their relaxation!

I live inside the city limits of a medium-sized city. There are five broadcast TV stations. With an indoor antenna, I can receive station A on some days, and station B on other days, and rarely can I receive two stations on the same day. Stations C, D, and E might as well not be on the air.

This is since the Digital Revolution.

I wonder if the Digital Revolution has much to do with the collapsing ratings of the dinosaur networks?
