As book sales for Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" continue to go through the roof in 2009, Americans are memorizing her famous quotes as if to build a line of defense for Capitalism. The woes of Wall Street and Washington bail-outs have embattled taxpayers searching for affirmation of basic American core beliefs such as:
Government "help" to business is just as disastrous as government persecution... the only way a government can be of service to national prosperity is by keeping its hands off.

CNN is reporting that Fox Network will not air Obama's upcoming press conference due to the fact that getting 13 million viewers for "Lie to Me" is preferable to the last press conference that garnered only 4 million viewers. So in the interest of making money, Fox Network will warn viewers ahead of time to catch Obama on their Fox News channel.
Networks stand to lose millions in advertising revenue when regular viewing is interrupted. So in the interest of making money and their viewers happy, there will be a small return to Rand's theory of "objectivism" or making money when the occasion allows.
