Obama primetime speeches cost networks millions

Barack Obama has only been in office 100 days and he is already asking the broadcast networks for airtime for another news conference to air next Wednesday evening during primetime.

It's likely he'll get that request granted but you can almost see the network presidents gritting their teeth and assenting.

This would be the fourth such presser for Obama (he's averaging one a month now). The past three have cost the ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX about $30 million bucks.

The irony here is that, with the exception of FOX, the networks have worked hard to elect the man and now he is costing them millions in lost advertising revenue.
One commenter, at the end of the article linked to below, said:

The networks deserve to lose millions to the poser in chief. They have covered up and lied about him and now they get to lose money because of him.
