"Idol" Beats Up the President of the United States
Was there any doubt?
Fox's decision to not show President Obama's press conference on his first 100 days Wednesday was a sound business decision, though not necessarily a sound community affairs decision.
"American Idol" won the night in viewers. It drew some 21 million Americans who watched Matt Giraud get booted. Meanwhile, the president attracted 28 million viewers total on all the rest of the broadcast and cable networks that showed him.
By the way, that's a big drop in viewers for the president, who drew some 40 million the last time he had a primetime press conference on March 24.
Another night like that and the networks will consider canceling his show.
