why is it a big deal? they are losing $10M every time he does this and its the 3rd one in 3 months. Its a bad market already and u cant ask companies to take more losses.

F**k fox news, I fox is a racist media outlet in my opinion and now I wont watch anything on the fox networks racist bastards

Fox news is full of racist republican c**ts, stupid ass f****ts make me sick seriously.

Fox news is full of racist republican c**ts, stupid ass lames, make me sick seriously.

WAKE UP AMERICA, FOX IS WAY BIASED, I WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED IF THE KLAN RAN IT.

THAT’S THE WHOLE POINT OF WATCHING THE BROADCAST. IF YOU DUMB F**KS DON’T WATCH THEN THIS COUNTRY IS WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON.NOW THEY HAD NO PROBLEM RUNNING EVERY BROADCAST FROM “THIER” LAST PRESIDENT, (HE WAS NOT MINE). THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY THAT NEED TO GROW UP. HE IS OUR PRESIDENT AND HE WILL BE FOR AS LONG AS GOD SEES FIT!!!!

OBAMA is a STAR now u spell star backward RATS now your whole crew is that

I say Boycott Fox Channels!

Who cares about Fox? CBS, NBC, and ABC are the original broadcast networks in this country. Fox is just a glorified “UHF” channel like UPN. They certainly have shown a hard lean to the republican side, but if they could snub George Bush two months after 9/11 then they surely have no problem doing the same to the new Democratic President.
Who really watches Fox for their ‘News’ anyway???

Okay that may be all said but we as Blacks never stand up for anything. We just speak out but never put our words into action. Now a boycott of Fox news would be great for us come on mow we have a Black President and we are still playing the hush hush game did anyone go on myspace or twitter or facebook and express your concerns, we should have a number where we can call in and give our opinions or vote on what Fox is doing. People we are letting them win. Let us support Obama and what he believes in(which is us)and fight this.

Smilemommy27, you skipped a line while reading. They noted that in 2001 that they did not broadcast one of G. Bush’s conferences. This means this decision is financially motivated and they aren’t necessarily being too bias.
I think it’s stupid ANYWAYS but they care about their 10 mill. However, the recession is still in effect and there was just (and still an ongoing) an outbreak of a deadly contagious illness. NOT EVERYBODY KNOWS/KNEW ABOUT THE SEPERATE FOX NEWS CHANNEL, they’re sooo dumb!
Anyways, since most of the country is scared of catching the illness they will tune into Obama’s conference to gain reassurance.
ABC, CNBC and the others are making the right decision.

I do find Rihanna sensual/sexcitingly refreshing! On the other hand, i strongly beleive she is sensually diversed/bi-sexual or bi curious! The Bsharpp2 ‘Rihanna Shake” video about Rihanna/Chris Brown/Janet Jackson says it all. Well if she is bi-sexual or bi-curious? That makes her more imtresting to me! Rihannd girl u WANTEDDDD! Check out the “Rihanna Shake” video on myspace/youtube. (youtube Bsharpp2 music videos)

Who cares about Fox News? OOps I meant to say FOX NOISE.

fox trot trot the fox where is my cox

who cares if fox airs it. it will be on other stations and recapped over and over. im not watching anyway.

Who cares Fox can go to hell and stop what they are doing. Please someone should advice them of what there are doing

drama seems to be push by people who do not like change and if fox do not want to air the obama speech then they do not have too. and Obama is still going to be the president. WOWW

Sigh! Are people really so biased that they don’t even read the damn article? It’s scary that people are criticizing Fox News for this when if one was to read the 2nd paragraph, it say’s: “Fox will direct viewers interested in the news conference to Fox News Channel and the Fox Business Network, which will both carry it.” Fox News is carrying it! It’s the broadcast Fox that is not! Good Lord people! Read!

Who cares about Obama’s speech he aint saying nothing we dont know….ummm we have lost thousands of jobs….ummmm we are in finacial crisis..hmmm…oooh and swine flu is spreading

So, Bush was not YOUR president, but Obama is all of sudden OURS? I guess if it were not for a foul mouth you wouldn’t have anything at all to say. as for your uninformed claim that Fox broadcast all of Bush’s conferences, it states right in the article that Fox did the same to Bush and it was because of financial reasons. So who’s the dumb f**k?

Pardon my asterisks, but my parents taught me never use foul language in the presence of a female, even if they don’t deserve the respect.

As for the main topic, I won’t watch the “news conference” either. There is never any news and Obama always calls on those with whom he has already cleared the questions. First time I ever saw a president do that.

I don’t need to have the networks tell me that my grandkids will be paying for this stupid mistake we made last November for the rest of their lives. I can understand why most people love Obama. It won’t be their kids who are paying these taxes.

This trillion dollar debt (bigger than all the Republican presidents’ debts COMBINED) will be payed by those successful and self reliant Americans and not those perpetual self made “victims” who live off the labors of others.

As for the Obama Nation, go for it. Me and my kids will be fine with or without him or any president. We can afford it.

I have taught them as my parents taught me. “I didn’t sacrifice for you to become a slave”. I took that to mean political, financial as well.

Yo, dude, didn’t YOU read the article by “willie Lynch”? BLACKS DON’T READ! I’ll send it to you if you want. It is quite obvious that most of these posters just read the headline and jumped to the usual conclusion. So typical. But hey, that is why we VOTE the way we do: pay no attention to what’s going on in the world except during the campaigns.

I’ll be you could give a current events and civics test on this space and 95% of us would fail it. That explains why blacks don’t seem to know that the Democrats are treating them like POSSESSIONS instead of CONSTITUENTS. Not to mention the fact that the party has all by itself destroyed the black family. With our very active and aggressive help, I might add.

hay everyone is down on Fox, but look at it from a real aspect, if you had a company and it was loseing 10M. what would you do, as for I like Obama and I voted for him and I am a black man, but Iam not going to sit here and lie and say i would not do the same , because Obama do not put food on my table. Ihave to do that so people get over the hate and lest try to all live as one .MAY GOD BLESS US ALL.

you don’t need to be a great reader to have understanding. if it walks like a duck,and quacks like a duck it’s a damn duck.fox news showed their dislike and clear RACIST hatred for obama during the whole campaign, so this news comes as no surprise and why talk about the economy and swine flu then opt to show “lie to me” fox are lying to themselves if they believe their agenda and hatred is covered up because they “did not air bush in 2001″the bottom line remains the same.fox may not be wearing their white sheets and burning crosses “publicly” the it is clear they are RACIST. and who cares that fox sister or brother companies will air it.fox can go straight to hell,obama still prevailed.yes THEIR president is BLACK,so get over it.

This is America, I am personally not ever going to watch any FOX station again. I suggest all of black America follow suit. We can hit em where it hurts. I have blocked their channels from my remote! I am tired of their under handed racism!

Hmmm…well i understand Fox Network’s position and i think with all the problems dealing with the economy; the White House should understand. For the person who calls this “the Obama Nation”, thats sad u feel that way, it makes me wonder if u voted for Bush(both terms)and his policies. I am a vet of YOUR president’s war and to you i say if you don’t like this country; no one is stopping u from leaving. I’m well aware of the huge deficit and the fallout of it but I’d rather spend money home than waste it on bs(ie.,war in Iraq). Actually, every president screens the questions reporters ask in the press conference; so r you mad the current president is a democrat or r you mad he’s black? In either case, it doesnt matter; if u don’t like it here, move.

I’m reading right along with you stephenfrazier and you are NOT ALONE!! The “messiah” Obama has the media(ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and the rest)except for Fox in his hip pocket. If the article was read by anyone who isn’t “mesmerized” by the “messiah” Obama, Fox News Channel had the broadcast. Maybe these nimrods don’t pay/afford their cable/satellite bills. The “messiah” Obama has pulled the “hokie doke” of all with his hijacking of capitalism for his desire to SOCIALIZE America. Individual freedoms are a blessing from above and The “messiah” Obama is slowly draining those freedoms from each and every one of us and the sad part is, those who voted this man into office won’t even realize what has been done. You, me, and others who weren’t “bamboozled” by the “eloquence” of the “messiah” Obama have to come and stick together to find and make solutions work to overcome the mistakes of the truly uninformed…

I agree with Goodness4Sho. Valid points!!!!

Bwann26 and goodness4sho. Sooooo typical….

I REALLY DON’T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT ALL U CRACKERS OBAMA IS DOING A GOOD JOB IN OFFICE FORMER PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH PUT US IN A HOLE AND PEOPLE MAD THAT A BLACK MAN IS PRESIDENT GET OVER IT IF U CRACKERS DON’T LIKE IT GET THE HELL OUT OF THIS COUNTRY OUR COMMANDER IN CHIEF IS BLACK AND I LOVE IT SO ALL U CRACKERS THAT DON’T LIKE IT KISS MY BLACK ASS

There it is goodness4sho: you have hit the main point of this issue.
We need to send a message back to the Fox network and refuse to watch their network programs and support their movies.
As for this gls209 idiot how can you associate President Obama as being a messiah? We (Blacks and minorities) don’t look at every black, and minority voice as a messenger of god you psycho. It’s idiots like you that the bible speaks about, and their called fools!
Put a pin in God, and messiahs for a moment a let’s talk about facts as they are gls209.
We are and will always be a free enterprise. However many Industries, and Corporations under that enterprise are responsible for putting the country in the financial situation that it’s in.
Because of their greed, and lack of federal regulations: which manipulated Americans. Therefore, there needs to be some regulations on our free enterprise so that it’s not taken advantage of again at the cost of the American people.
It’s the same as our American laws to govern idiots, and criminals.
It’s idiots like you gls209 that can’t set their obvious personal opinions, and dislikes aside to take care of business.
I’m a business man myself and speak facts.
So go get your uniform on gls209 and stand by to deliver my associates and I an extra large, extra cheese pizza from your place of work.
Idiot.
On another note:
This announcement I’m sure is about the swine flu which is a public concern.
It’s obvious that the Fox network doesn’t give a rats tail about the publics’ health. They wouldn’t want to look like socialist now.
After all, it’s business to them: and if for some reason you or your loved ones happen to become infected with this virus: the Fox networks will be on your hospital television for you to watch in bed.
Send a business statement right back at their ass and stop supporting fox programs, newscasts, and movies. This is not the first time this network has disrespected minorities, and shut our President out. Enough of that *%#@.
One last point to gls209 and their associates. Check the numbers again you idiots. If you don’t like the way the majority is deciding and can’t voice a valid intelligent opinion, or suggestion: then shut the *%$@ up, or move the *&2# out the country.

Dang! I’m surprised what I am reading from the comments on the page.

Reading this article can go either way…racist or financial. To be honest, $10 million plus is a lot. Some business decisions will cause controversy and blacks do read stephenfrazier. Obama would have not been president or I would have not my current job. Real intelligent remark on your part.

Anywho, It’s like saying white people or any other race read everything that is handed to them. Really what does “blacks” have anything to do with this article, nothing! Fox has made a tough decision financially. Let’s not downplay blacks in this article! This country still has a long way to go as we know by reading some of the comments on this article. How can we become a superior nation when we can not come together in this serious time of need?

This is not news. Everyone and their grandmother knows that FOX NEWS is right wing media. They are just mad that Obama has 62 percent approval and that the Democrats were able to reach accross the aisle and get Arlen Spector to deflect to the party of compassion within 100 days. What does anyone expect from Fox? They are in the wilderness beating rocks for water. The Republican party is in the ABYSS. The Republicans weren’t crying when they got Zell Miller to deflect to their tax cutting, debt spending, warmongering party. To hell with the conservatives. The party of compassion is moving America in the right direction. Consumer confidence is up, gas prices are down. Now we have to work on employment, and America will be all right. Then the Republican party will be further and further in the abyss.

It’s all about the money! Plain and simple. Why are people taking in to a whole other level? I do recall watching Fox on the day of inauguration, so to say that they are racist is somewhat ignorant. I think we still have a long way to go if we all cant think outside of the box.

Its Okay. He is still the president and no1 can take that away. Also they want to criticize everything he says. So they will be watching him on other networks as well. They will watch. So it doesn’t matter. Whats crazy is that they will broadcast a prescription junkies like Rush Limbaugh. But we know that we live in a country that would still like to have a caucasions as the majority. But soon the majority will be the minority. Carma doesn’t play favorites. So with that said. The advertising dollars will go to the stations broadcasting it anyway.

Is it really about money? Fox is on 24/7. If they average $10 mil an hour – will they really miss it? Considering the economic crisis, the Taliban trying to take over Pakistan, the GM restructuring and the swine flu epidemic why would the network exec’s think the average American will be watching some TV show that they choose to air? This is suicide for that TV show especially in the digital age. People who want to see that show will see it! Just not on Fox!!!! Can you say DVR, TIVO, Cable or Fios?

Fox news station should change
their name to
” H A T E R A T I O N ”
news station, they feel a shame to call the first black
man Mr prez Obama its time for change kissing his behind now
then kissing Bush behind for
8 whole yrs, which they help
Mr Bush cheated the votes anyway, so to me they really help ” ex prez Bush ”

robbed this country without a gun and they no different then a bank robber who rob banks with fake or real guns

they dont want prez Obama speak about parting america money wise back together
oh oh watch out black america > new racism popping on cox news opps fox news

Uhm did anybody read this article. Fox has 2 other stations that will be airing this. Executives at Fox, owned by News Corp., would not comment on the decision Monday. It’s not without precedent for the network; Fox didn’t carry a prime-time speech by President George W. Bush in November 2001 despite a request from the White House.

So they didn’t carry Bush’s speech in 2001. People and BP please word these article’s the right way and stop using deception this is really bad journalism.

IT IS A DISGRACE WE ALL MUST PRAY AND MOVE ON. IT WILL NEVER CHANGE WHEN THAT HATE SO HARD. THEY BECOME LOSE IN THERE ON MESS THEY WILL LEARN ONE DAY WHEN IT IS ALL TAKEN AWAY. SUFFERING IS SO VERY SAD.

Personally, I’m glad that, not all the major broadcasters, are preempting their regularly scheduled program. I for one appreciate, the option of seeing something, other than, what’s forced upon me!!!

Way to go Sub-negro. You Hit the nail on the head. Some of the rest of you need to read the facts and quit making up stuff.

Okay Black folks.

Sit down, take a deep breath, & Chill.

1) Fox has its own news network(that is airing the speech), so why should they pre-empt their programming?

2)Where were all you idiots crying “Racist” when Fox refused a request from the Bush White House to air a 2001 news speech?

Sometimes I wonder if whitey is right…some kneegrows see racisim under every damn rock!
(And really, who wants to see that lying, stuttering, stammering TelePrompter eading idiot anyway?)

Wow.. so many whites commenting on a black news/social network …priceless :)

As for Fox.. they are full of it. They arent the only ones with a cable news station. This was only the third press conference. And i don’t think anyone was ‘dying’ to see their crappy show. And they can afford to lose 10 million. They have too many commercial anyway and can double up here n there to recoup.

Why is this news if this article celearly states that FOX did the same thing to BUSH and that the news conference will be shown on their OTHER network. It is obvious some people just read the headline and run with it. But I think thats what the author wanted. They had to have a heading to stir up trouble it worked.

I was prepared to read a whole lot of how racist fox is comments. I’m actually pleasantly suprised that I am not the only one who doesn’t feel its necessary for FOX to interrupt their prime time shows. Just to hear more lies from our illustrious president.

Good Point bgdadybk….you owned gls209..and you are right on point with your analogue…

You my friend, are a loser k-tee-1…sell out President Obama for yoyr career…I know most blacks are not going to promote you. ..so you sell out to get the white promoters to sign you if you have your own promotions you don’t have to kiss a white’s ass to get in the business… case in point, you just a sorry ass negro..

You know fox is not news anyway they spread more hate with their audiance then a little bit. I do not find it as News they talk so much bad about the country and the people in charge now they did not see us sliding down the flagpole. If anyone wants to call fox a news show Nas said it best the only fox I like is Redd

People r locked in 2 this idiot box. Bush told lies, Obama tells even more. Yes he’s Black Hey we all r, so what. Fox tells lies misleading the public true indeed. people need 2 stop pointing the finger and wake up as a people and see were on the brink of a NEW WORlD ORDER Who Will you blame then. I strongly suggest all 2 Read Gods word and Behold a Pale Horse by William Cooper. Peace 2 all until his return Fox Sucks!

ugh, who watches Fox-hole anyway? lame ass network..

Actually Fox did air the press conference. I watched it on Fox. You people can’t believe everything you hear.

Wow! No disrespect. But what I’m reading from most of you guys are arguments that are off the point.
This article is speaking about the Fox network refusing airtime to the President of the United States.
That’s disrespectful to our President, country, and people.
There is a pandemic on the rise and our President Barack Obama wants to address his nation, and you say no?
Your (Fox network) saying that we don’t care what this person has to say were’ gonna make our money?
I know most of us think that Fox’s executives are white racist, but that sounds like some ni*** sh** too me.
Let’s hope that the country doesn’t get attacked again because the Fox network would rather show ” Prison Break ” than inform the public. Don’t want to be called a socialist.
In other words: like gangsters they’re saying “F*@% You, pay me “.
Instead of giving up air time, and yeah losing money: so that the president can address his nation about a killer virus, and whatever else he feels that we should be informed on.
Now that’s Whoa!
On another note:
You do know that back in the 1800′s the white slave masters kept the black slaves from uniting by spreading lies amongst the larger groups: splitting them into smaller groups that were then controlled, and contained.
Let’s stay focused people, and on point. This is an American issue, not just a black issue: but it’s only one of many issues.
I hope everyone that’s here is a registered voter, and trying if not activity in their communities.
Know your community leaders and stay involved.

Pray. We need to pray more. We need to pray for the mess we (human race) have made on this planet. Pray for peace, unconditional love, strength, wisdom and patience. God Bless us all.

Hey, this is America. Land of the free. And sometime we’re a lil bit too free. But that’s another story. However, any station can show whatever they want… when they want. It’s a free country… just like we are… talking freely in this forum. But have you thought about this? The media/press could be on President Obama’s jock just to catch that moment when/if he jacks something up.

As for some of the posted comments…

A… and U… – We (as in blacks) are the most racist as they come. Just take the last presidential election for example. All news stations in America are biased to some degree. I watch every single news station, including Fox. During my time watching Fox, ive never heard or seen any newscaster say anything racist. If you want unbiased news, watch BBC. They state, and show, fact. That way you can come to whatever opinion you want.

S… – If you have to wait on the Presidential Press Conf to know what’s going on, yur already behind the power curve. Politicians been lying to us for decades, so why would President Obama be any different.

Whatever hood you live in, the Alderman, Congressman, Mayor, Senator, President, no matter who you voted for, they are your’s.

If I had time to say some more I would.

I glad they did not air it. Even though I don’t watch a lot of TV, I am glad that I would have had a choice. When the smoke clears, I will still stand saying, “I told y’all so!”

I am glad they did not air it. Even though I don’t watch a lot of TV, I am glad that I would have had a choice. When the smoke clears, I will still stand saying, “I told y’all so!”

Anyone with a half brain knows what FOX is doing and why. I watch FOX as I would any comedy show, clowns are always funny!

Why can’t the United States as a whole show support for one another. My God, people act is Mr. President is a virus the way they act towards him. I’m a black man, I voted for Obama because he was QUALIFIED. Let the man do the job he was hired to do. The USA should get behind him and help bring back AMERICA. It’s a shame that racism still exist. YOU DON’T LIKE ME JUST BECAUSE THE COLOR OF MY SKIN. White ppl are racist, but black ppl are the most racist out there. I encounter racism all the time at my job and it really sucks when it happens to myself and to my white co-workers. GET REAL PPL. DO U THINK THAT WE WILL BE SEPERATED WHEN WE GO TO HEAVEN OR HELL. HMMM.. SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT….

For you dummies read this…..Fox will direct viewers interested in the news conference to Fox News Channel and the Fox Business Network, which will both carry it. ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC and CNBC are all carrying the 8 p.m. EDT event, on Obama’s 100th day in office. Thats from the 2nd paragraph…..If you want to protest look up Mumia Abu jamal’s case. Read behold a pale horse and witness whats going on right now….im done….
