President Obama to have Press Conference on his 100th Day? Poor Media! LOL!

Breaking: 100 Day News Conference Wednesday
Press Secretary Robert Gibbs just confirmed that President Obama has a new item on his schedule for his 100th day in office: a prime-time news conference.

That means Wednesday, 8 p.m.

In other words, Barack Obama will take control of the spin machine with his news conference. What this will do is keep the big mouths of the "usually wrong" pundits from spinning lies all day....as the last thing they will want to do is end up looking like buffoons easily seen as lying all day by evening. Particularly stressful to those CW beltway pundits is that the President's press conference will be seen by many more Americans than all of the pundits talking aired all of that day! Specifically when reporters for those media outlets will have to ask questions to this President, and then listen to the answers.

READ THE DISAPPOINTED MESSAGE FROM THE PO' MEDIA DOWN BELOW....
AS THEY SHIT ON THEMSELVES!
Note, they speak of our President as though he is still a candidate, and call the Obama administration the Obama "Camp".....and his messaging operation; Obamavision! :wtf:

Obama's camp is asking for the 8 p.m. hour this coming Wednesday. That date, not coincidentally, marks his 100th day in office. He is expected to use the news conference to take control of the inevitable 100-days-in-office news-cycle blather -- first-100-days navel-gazing being a time-honored journalistic tradition.

Sadly for broadcasters, April 29 -- Wednesday -- also falls in the May sweeps ratings derby, which started last night. In honor of the sweeps, networks had scheduled actual original episodes of scripted shows Wednesday at 8 -- except NBC, which had planned to air a "Law & Order" rerun.

Fox, on the other hand, had planned to air the freshman drama series "Lie to Me," which has already been whacked so many times by Obama's image-polishing machine that it's starting to look personal.

Now, instead of "Lie to Me," Fox might feel it has no choice but to join in the pile-on that airs "Dollars Out the Door."

Network execs got word yesterday morning that Obamavision was making another return visit, sending them scrambling to decide whether to air, how to reschedule planned programming, etc. Really, how hard would it have been to count 100 days out from Obama's first day in office in anticipation that something like this would happen, and get out ahead of this headache? The guy's nothing if not consistent when it comes to on-camera time.

In fact, this makes the fourth time in three months Obama has preempted prime time to take his message directly to the people. Obama took over the 8 o'clock hour for a news conference Monday, Feb. 9; he gave his Not Quite State of the Union Address at 9 on Feb. 24. And he staged another news conference in the 8 o'clock hour on March 24. :rofl:
