The Prez, The Press, The Pressure Networks Grouse About Obama in Prime Time By Howard Kurtz Washington Post Staff Writer Monday, August 3, 2009 In the days before President Obama's last news conference, as the networks weighed whether to give up a chunk of their precious prime time, Rahm Emanuel went straight to the top. Rather than calling ABC, the White House chief of staff phoned Bob Iger, chief executive of parent company Disney. Instead of contacting NBC, Emanuel went to Jeffrey Immelt, the chief executive of General Electric. He also spoke with Les Moonves, the chief executive of CBS, the company spun off from Viacom. Whether this amounted to undue pressure or plain old Chicago arm-twisting, Emanuel got results: the fourth hour of lucrative network time for his boss in six months. But network executives have been privately complaining to White House officials that they cannot afford to keep airing these sessions in the current economic downturn. The networks "absolutely" feel pressured, says Paul Friedman, CBS's senior vice president: "It's an enormous financial cost when the president replaces one of those prime-time hours. The news divisions also have mixed feelings about whether they are being used." Make them eat the pudding!!!!!!!!!!!!!  |

I can't help but wonder what the reaction would be to the networks running advertisements across the bottom as Obamanation is running his mouth.
Imagine! Insurance companies, ads saying "This guy is LYING!!", etc. I wonder how Rahm would react?

Everything that came out of the media had his stamp of approval on it, and those who didn't toe the line were pressured to do so, sometimes harshly. And that's precisely what Emmanuel is doing, Jew or not.

I've always thought that the "end game" for the MSM is to somehow get the administration to agree to have some of their news outlets (or divisions) declared as "non-profits" so that they can avoid paying taxes. If they raise a big fuss about about losing money because bo likes to see his face on prime-time TV it stands to reason that one way to pay this off politically is for some kind of backdoor tax break.
