In the latest Pew Research Poll(an independent, non-partisan public opinion research organization that studies attitudes toward politics, the press and public policy issues in the U.S.), FOX News tops all networks by a huge margin as being too critical of the president.
When Americans are asked to assess television news coverage of Barack Obama, Fox News Channel stands out from other networks for being too critical of the president. Nearly three-in-ten (29%) select Fox when asked which of six broadcast and cable news networks have been too critical of the new Democratic president, a far greater share than any other network. In contrast, no one TV network is singled out for being too easy on Obama.
Then today the network is turning down the president's request to show his prime-time news conference on Wednesday. The news conference marks Obama's 100th day in office. Instead of the president, Fox viewers will see an episode of the Tim Roth drama "Lie to Me."
It's the first time a broadcast network has refused Obama's request.
This will be the third prime-time news conference in Obama's presidency. ABC, CBS and NBC are airing it.
