It's not likely that liberal-minded Barack Obama can continue to ignore conservative-leaning Fox News Channel for the duration of his four-year administration. But, has he been sending a message by ignoring the cable newser in all of his first five news conferences as President-Elect?
That's what the media-pundit-types are wondering... While it is unlikely that number 44 is dodging FNC, he certainly hasn't looked their way yet.
Obama's most recent presser -- yesterday -- included the much anticipated announcement of Hillary Clinton as his Secretary of State nominee and the Godfather-loving Commander-In-Chief-to-be fielded questions from ABC, the New York Times, CBS, Reuters and the AP.
Probably this is just a lot of hoo-ha over nothing. I mean so far, the Examiner is 0-5 in Obama pressers too, but I doubt we'll be ignored forever. Still, it is fun to watch it all play out, no?
Speaking of Fox News Channel, we've got a start date for that much-anticipated Glenn Beck show in their line-up. It will debut on Inauguration Eve on Monday, January 19 and as we told you will air in the 5PM slot. The start date is accelerated from the anticipated spring debut -- probably because Beck was able to sever ties with CNN quicker than expected.
Slate's got an interesting article about Michael Wolff's new authorized biography of FNC's founder, media mogul Rupert Murdoch. See the article here.
