The CW also passed up on carrying the speech.<br /><br />No political basis behind it... rather its about the bottom line. As for the show "Lie to Me"... I'm pretty sure that's pure coincidence.Jackrabit1https://www.blogger.com/profile/15819146935849889760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-38190461855837770112009-04-28T14:39:00.000-06:002009-04-28T14:39:00.000-06:00Speaking of TV, it sounds like Anon 1:13 is living...Speaking of TV, it sounds like Anon 1:13 is living on Fantasy Island. The <A HREF="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090428/ap_en_tv/us_tv_obama_4" REL="nofollow">original article</A> (read, people!) said there's no political motive; it's all money.

Maybe we are just tired of hearing that the US is bad, the US is arrogant, the US needs to pay more taxes, the US needs to pay more to the UN and its globalism, the US needs to buy into the global warming rhetoric. If you want to watch it, there are plenty of stations carrying it. <br /><br />Kudos to Fox for not. Actually "Lie to Me" could refer to Obama, not the other program. Where is the transparency he promised? The 'no new taxes?' The "I don't want gun control." The "I will make bills available for all to see for several days before signing." I could go on, but that's a good start. Looks to me like Fox had the choice of two "Lie to Me" shows and they chose the better one!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-33482701427451049092009-04-28T12:13:00.000-06:002009-04-28T12:13:00.000-06:00Way to go Fox!
