In my opinion...any time the President speaks...it should be required that all news media must show it. One of the reasons being is...it gives one the ability to hear the words of the President...instead of the spin the talking heads put on what he said.

Nah, Fox is a private enterprise and should be free to do what they want on cable, public spectrum is different though.
I think Obama should have more townhalls like the N.H. one -- he tried to give more time to those who wanted to ask critical questions of his policies, and it should be said that the people who asked critical questions did so in a calm and respectful manner.
