It irritates them that Beck is allowed to do his show, when the dictator speaks. But why do they care? They don't watch Fox anyway ... do they? Hmmmm? Maybe they do?

You don't understand, people are weary of obama on TV, spouting the same old talking points.
Exactly right. I get tired of seeing this guy's mug every place, and he doesn't have anything to say that anyone wants to hear. He is such a damn fool! How can anyone take the man seriously? He just needs to go away.

No. He is not "newsworthy". He is not "my president'. He might be yours. He is a dictator; and I hate the man. I do not want to listen to anything this liar says. I am not a "subject". This man just needs to be gone. Never in my lifetime have we had such a worthless individual callling himself "president".

The question is: Why a "News" channel would not broadcast the historic nuclear security summit?

You are correct OP, Fox News is biased propaganda based on false information and its avid watchers would benefit from lobotomies.
You have never seen anything anti-Obama on FOX news. What you probably did see was facts about him which you interpret as anti. When you tell the truth about Obama, it is naturally anti him, because he is a terrible and dangerous president. Telling the truth about him can only make him look bad.
Your sexist comment wasn't overlooked either. They may have some beautiful female contributors, but they are all well educated attorneys. You are trying to degrade them as ignorant bimbo's, which is far from the truth and you are well aware of that fact..!
The only place you will get the truth is on FOX...!! Deal with it...

Well, of course, as you know, that isn't the point. They hate Fox. And this just gives them another reason. I love it! Fox decides the man isn't worth it! LOL I've got news: he isn't. He's an ass of a president. Nothing the man says is worth cutting of an important show like Glenn Beck, who does have something important to say.

Obama is nothing but bull. Who can believe him? Beck has something important to say. It is people like Beck, and the American people (the Tea Party crowd, which is most of America) that will save this nation from the likes of Obama. Obama is out to destroy America; we will save it.

Fox has already provided too many free hours to Obama's worthless speeches and "news conferences". He has nothing to say that anyone wants to hear. I was angry that Beck might have been, once again, preempted for the rantings of this dummy president. Fortunately, this time, when Beck came on, Obama was off.

Beck is more important, and more people want to watch (over 3 million viewers). Obama is simply full of B.S. I couldn't care less what that idiot has to say about anything. He's made a mess of the country. He should just shut-up and get out of the way. We will clean up after him.

Since when is telling the truth "fear mongering"? Somebody had better be telling the truth. Beck and many experts agree that we are in seriious trouble. This isn't "fear mongering".

If the house is on fire, and someone yells "get out ... run for your life!" Would you call that "fear mongering"? I wouldn't.
You have to know their language, they use terms like "fear mongering", the "party of no", "teabaggers", "unhinged". It's the Alinsky tactic of ridicule, putting your opponent on the defensive right away.

Your "Historic Summit" was nothing but another dog and pony show that accomplished nothing, like most little games Obama plays... He is an expert at accomplishing nothing...
What a waste of four years. He can't be gone soon enough...

Did anyone broadcast the "summit" ie live negotiations, set up of timelines, goals, objectives etc? Or was it just another speech by the President?

It wasn't "historic". Not by a long shot.
