Again, like I said, why would Obama even bother?

If you can't stand up and admit it's wrong when a presidential administration excludes one of the major networks, then I feel sorry for you. The press isn't supposed to consist only of the friendly press. The press is supposed to be a watchdog, not a lapdog.

Bring It On!
Fox News vs. Team Obama
By NORM KENT

This past week the Obama Administration said that it does not view the Fox News Network as a credible news organization because it has an agenda and a perspective inconsistent with neutrality.

As if to prove the point for them, Fox’s terror dogs immediately went on the attack, led by Karl Rove, asserting that the President is creating a Nixon-like ‘Enemies List.’ Talk about stretching the truth. The ‘enemies list’ created by 1970’s-era President Richard Nixon was a master list, created by the President, to engage in secretive and illegal surveillance on prominent citizens who disparaged or disagreed with the government. Rahm Emanuel, on the other hand, stated rather routinely that Fox News ought to be called out for its transparent lack of neutrality while presenting news to the American people. Quite a difference.

Bill O’Reilly, Tucker Carlson, Glenn Beck, Greta Van Sostern, and then Bill Hemmer, also entered the fray for Fox News, championing their individual liberties, while remarking that Obama’s team was trying to silence a free press; that they were being ‘bullied.’ So the most powerful network on television struts out its stars to reach their massive audiences, and comes to the table shrieking that their rights are being infringed, their freedoms shattered, their lives ruined. Boo hoo! Cry me a river. Who are they kidding? This is hardly a network being silenced."

"Fox’s terror dogs immediately went on the attack" that would be King

I wonder if he would have felt the same way had the Bushies excluded NBC and CBS. Somehow, I think Rev's reaction would have been quite different, with talk of Nazis, wingnuts, freedom of the press, and such. Everything is subjective with the Rev. So many double standards that he should provide us with a flowchart.

And it is the intelligent thing for the White House to do in calling Fox out. Fox propagandizes daily, most of it attacking Obama. The White House is only saying what needs to be said….in light of Fox's constant propaganda-attack on the White House. The key to understanding what the White House is doing by stating the obvious about Fox, is the message they're sending to the other media. The White House is calling out the other media biggies to not be so quick to pick up on Fox's propaganda….and pass it along in all it's deceitful glory.

Score one for the White House, job well done. If Fox doesn't like it, or even if they do…..just call 'em a waaambulance.

I actually think that the whole thing is hilarious. Obama gets upset that a single news outlet in America features opinion shows that are primarily conservative. How dare they question his supreme authority? No other network allows its show hosts to disagree with him.

What if President Bush had gone on the offensive against CNN for doing much of the same? Would he not have made himself a laughingstock? I used to believe that, even if I didn't agree with his politics, Obama was intelligent. I'm starting to doubt that now.

To tell the truth, CNN used to be my primary source of news. But I got disgusted with them for their lopsided portrayals of conservatives and Christians. Now, I hardly read CNN at all. I figured that, if they're all going to have a slant, at least I'll get my news from a network that doesn't have a slant that p***es me off. If I can only check one site, I'll check Fox News. Obama is missing a whole slew of liberal reporters they employ, which is why I actually trust the news they give to be basically fair and balanced.

Don't worry, though, libs. I balance it out with other news sources, and I'm sure to research things that don't seem right. When I've researched Fox stories, they've always been correct. Go figure.

So much evidence has piled up, that I can only conclude that what liberals really want is for conservatives not to be heard at all.

I think it would actually be Fox News being an arm of the Republican party rather than the other way around, but I've said repeatedly that Fox News has a conservative bent. I even said it in this post. It's not like I'm trying to hide it. It's not like it's a secret, and it's also not like there's anything wrong with it, no matter what our wannabe media-controlling Soviet White House says.

Okay, your turn. Admit to me that MSNBC, Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, NBC, CBS, most of CNN, most of ABC, the N.Y. Times, about 90% of the rest of the daily newspapers in America, Hollywood movies, and college campuses all have a liberal bias.

And to think, with all that media advantage, liberals still complain about Fox News and talk radio. Pretty funny.

Why would you think that they would include the very thing that crooksandliars, DailyKos, or Huffington would put in a poll for their readers? I guess you think they are somehow more like Countrepunch, your seeming favorite source of news about Fox. Nope, they are just trying to get some reak numbers instead of attacking the messenger. Your suggestion would be a very likely attempt at drawing in leftward votes. LOL

how can you pass that up?

The White House attack on Fox News has the added benefit of exposing one of the central myths of Obama. I had always assumed that he was an intelligent man. Often wrong on matters of policy, yet intelligent. But picking a public fight with a news organization is not a smart move. Fox's ratings go up and more attention is paid to Obama's mistakes.

Obama apparently lacks the will to keep fighting in Afghanistan. Isn't it ironic that he started a new war with Fox? Where is Harry Reid to counsel that this war is lost?

FYI – Drudge just provides links to various news stories from others, in case you didn't know that.

Yes, but Bush's enemies were Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups, not American news networks. A not so subtle difference.
