I guess if you make a living worshiping entertainment television (no easy task), than this is the result. From New York Daily News TV Editor Richard Huff:

Fox is going to get skinned in some parts, no doubt, for not carrying President Obama's 100-day press conference Wednesday night. That's just wrong. The network should be praised for not giving up a third night of lucrative prime-time television for yet another presidential press conference. Enough already.

Huff thinks Fox did the right thing by turning its back on its pledge as a broadcasting company to serve the public interest from time to time by airing a primetime White House press conference. Enough already, Huff insists. He can't stand how the nets have to keep adjusting their precious entertainment schedules in order to make room for Obama. Huff insists the whole exercise is pointless:

Back in the day, a President appearing on TV in prime time meant something. Something critical to the country needed to be said, and be heard by a wide audience. But thanks to Obama's ability to wow the cameras - and the networks' general fear that saying no will freeze them out - the concept has been severely diluted.

This is just plain dumb. The fact is, primetime WH press conferences have always been carried live by the nets even though most of them were routine events and did not revolve around breaking news or a crisis. But TV insider Huff thinks televised White House news events are a bore, that they should not preempt reality shows or cop dramas, and that they're a “pure inconvenience.”
