Obama Asked Networks For Primetime Slot to Spike Football on Phony 7.1 Million O-Care Number, Was Rejected

Bummer.
Barack Obama asked the networks for a primetime slot to spike the football on his phony and already discredited 7.1 million Obamacare enrollee number.

( Truth Revolt)

The networks said no.
Buzzfeed reported, via Townhall:

White House officials sought valuable primetime airfor a rare, impromptu Tuesday night address to tout the accomplishment of signing up more than 7 million people under the Affordable Care Act.

But network officials refusedto make the kind of accommodation they did previously for the announcement that Osama Bin Laden had been killed, for instance, and Obama was left instead cutting into the much smaller audiences of Ellen and other daytime shows.

Three sources familiar with the request confirmed the White House asked for the primetime slot in their effort both to emphasize a bright moment following the challenging roll out and, more important, to try to reintroduce the country to a law that remains unpopular. One top White House official referred BuzzFeed to another top official for comment on the conversation with networks, but the second official did not respond to a request for comment.
