That's a 29% drop from the president's last press conference, on March 24, and a 42% fall since his first, on Feb. 9. </DIV><BR />Ten networks carried the telecast, which is one less than last time since Fox elected to run its detective drama <EM>Lie to Me</EM> (7.8 million, 2.3 national adults 18-49 rating) instead. Airing its regular entertainment programming saved Fox ad dollars but didn’t help the show much. <EM>Lie</EM> pulled the same rating it did last week.
