Obama creates his own TV network, peeves other TV networks

“Tonight on Obama TV. Women’s basketball like you’ve never seen it before.”

If you thought our Supreme Leader was content owning his own car company, think again. Now he has his own TV network.

ABC’s Jake Tapper reports that after President Obama greeted the UConn Lady Huskies, winners of the NCAA women’s basketball championship, at the White House on April 27, he took the team to the White House basketball court to show off his “mad skills.”

This is where the story went south for the White House Press Corps. Obama didn’t allow the press to view the happenings and they protested their baffling exclusion.

Turns out the White House produced its own professionally-produced TV report on the team’s visit.

“It’s perfectly fine, of course, for the White House to put out its own version of events — but is it right to do so by preventing actual reporters from covering something? (Even something like a pickup basketball game),” Tapper asked on his ABC News blog.

”Do Obama White House officials think their media coverage isn’t flattering enough?” he continued.

“Is the goal to ultimately replace the pesky photographers who film what they want to and not what they’re told to (not to mention the annoying reporters who ask uncomfortable questions about, say, detainee policy and bank bailouts)?”

“Do you want your OTV? (I’ll bet there are a few takers out there.)”

One thing we know for sure: the Fairness Doctrine won’t apply to the Obama Television Network.
