Noel Sheppard can't be this dumb, can he?

July 21, 2009 11:19 am ET by Jamison Foser

Newsbusters' Noel Sheppard:

In another example of Barack Obama's appeal diminishing with the public, the White House was forced to reschedule Wednesday's press conference to 8PM from 9PM as NBC didn't want its summer hit "America's Got Talent" to be pre-empted. 

Do you think Sheppard really doesn't understand that NBC sells ads during "America's Got Talent," but not during presidential press conferences?  Do you think he really doesn't understand that this isn't an "example of Barack Obama's appeal diminishing with the public," but rather an example of NBC preferring to make a bunch of money rather than not make any money?

      I don't know Noel Sheppard.
      Maybe he should try to change his strips like a leopard.
      I know i think before i write.
      Because i don't want what i say to come across as trite.

      Speak truth to power.

      I am having quite a laugh at the right-wing and the MSM running with this "Obama ain't so popular" theme because he poll numbers has slipped.

      One thing that keeps getting burried in these stories is this:

      * The GOP numbers are dropping, too, and Obama holds a WHOPPING advantage over the GOP in terms of popularity, approval and trust.

      But the GOP & MSM of course do not wish to ruin a good CW theme with that silly factual analysis ...

        And he proves it in public every day!

        He is also remarkably thin-skinned. Dare to present another point of view in replying to one of his posts and you will find yourself either threatened with banishment or just being banned...
