It's one thing for Fox to cut off speeches by President Obama...but a news conference? With reporters asking questions? And the President of the United States of America delivering unscripted responses?

How could Fox possibly make such a decision? By any reasonable definition, when the President gives a news conference, it is a newsworthy event -- no matter who the President may be.

But in the world of Fox News Channel, when President Barack Obama gives a news conference, he gets trumped by Glenn Beck.

This is more than a mere partisan shot. This is Fox saying that with Barack Obama in the White House, the presidency does not matter. And whatever you think about President Obama, that's not a good thing for this country.
