Fox Says It Won’t Show Obama Press Conference

For the first time, a major tv broadcast station will refuse President Obama air time on Wednesday. Instead of showing Obama's live press conference that will mark his first 100 days in office, FOX will air it's regularly programmed show.

This is so ridiculous. Understanding that networks have quotas to meet and money to make, they also have a responsibility to the public, much of which gets its news and current events exclusively from these networks. I'm not sure how FOX, which is already extremely biased, can legitimately justify refusing the President air time. I might be wrong, but I doubt CNN and MSNBC ever refused President Bush an hour of time on their networks.
