On a related note:
NEW YORK – The Fox network is sticking with its regular schedule over President Barack Obama this week.
The network is turning down the president’s request to show his prime-time news conference on Wednesday. The news conference marks Obama’s 100th day in office. Instead of the president, Fox viewers will see an episode of the Tim Roth drama “Lie to Me.”
It’s the first time a broadcast network has refused Obama’s request. This will be the third prime-time news conference in Obama’s presidency. ABC, CBS and NBC are airing it.

And a recent video with Michele Bachmann:

Daily is a comedic genius. His ability to tie together stuff like that amazes me.
On the Fox end: It doesn’t bother me. They have a news channel that aired the conference, so the entertainment channel focused on doing what it does: programming and making money from the advertisements. I think you’ll see NBC follow suit on this shortly.
