During a tour on the Sunday morning television circuit, the guru behind President Obama’s election effort told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos “It’s really not news — it’s pushing a point of view. And the bigger thing is that other news organizations like yours ought not to treat them that way, and we’re not going to treat them that way. We’re going to appear on their shows. We’re going to participate but understanding that they represent a point of view.”
In recent weeks, some honest assessments by FOX News have prompted the White House to call a war of sorts on Fox. They refused to allow the President to appear on the network a few weeks back when he went on every network including the Spanish station Univision, to make a desperate pitch for healthcare and since then several hosts on different Fox programs have not even received responses to repeated invitations for interviews.
Clearly, the President does not like Fox. His own Chief of Staff and henchman Rahm Emanuel said on CNN’s State of
The Union that Fox “is not a news organization so much as it has a perspective.”
What I find funny is not the White House’s dislike for Fox News. It is the reason why they dislike Fox and how since Rupert Murdoch’s premier news and opinion gathering outlet doesn’t simply rollover and kiss their collective arses, to a liberal, that is crazy rightwing radicalism. Give me a break. Liberals of every color and stripe hate the station. They all like to sit in the kitchen but they can’t take the heat. They can give criticism but they can’t take it. For decades, the lamestream media has been dominated by a liberal bias. Yet that to them is acceptable but Fox News isn’t.
Try to be honest folks. At least for just a minute. I mean I can, so why can’t you? I can admit that radio talk shows are dominated by conservative hosts. From Limbaugh to Levine, Ingrahm to Hannity, conservatives dominate the radio dial. There. I admit it. I have to, because there is no denying it. I mean, beween the proliferation and popularity of consevative ralk radio and the dreary ratings and ongoing failures of attempts to air liberal radio talkshow programs makes it quite obvious that there is a big market out there seeking the conservative perspective. On the flip side, Air America has a an audience so small, that string and cups are all that is needed to reach them. These are facts am honest about them and I do not deny them.
For sure, Fox News does not glaze over facts such as that of President Obama’s approval numbers trending downward or that the more he pushed for his government run health management and care reforms, the quicker those ratings of his dropped. You can bet your butt that when the President goes abroad and calls America names, someone on Fox is going to point it out.
SOMEONE HAS TO!
Because there is absolutely no journalistic integrity left in the business of news these days and no other network will bring it up. The field of news is dominated by partisan liberal ideologues who use every gigabyte of the internet, every electronic transmission and every ounce of ink, to defend the President for anything that he does while at the same time, that which is indefensible, is simply ignored.
These are facts folks. Those of you liberal lunatics who believe that two plus two equals three and that because it does not equal four, it can be considered a tax cut, need to get out of the parallel universe you float around. Those of you liberal losers who are cursing me out at this very moment, yeah, I mean you, the Davids, the Scotts and Sammys or Sarahs, Sallys and Susies out there. All of you who like to use Fox News as some kind of tool to fuel your hatred and blame others who disagree with you, of being brainwashed by Fox News, need to wake up. Just because someone does not agree with your kumbaya, head up your hinnies, holier than thou mentality, doesn’t mean they are brainwashed or that Fox News is doing any brainwashing. Do you really think that Fox is the only 24 hour news outlet that also carries commentators who state their opinions? HAVE YOU PAID ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU WATCH?
You numbskulls really think that Fox is not a news outlet because they also hav commentators that present their opinions? Us that what even your leading numbskulls are actually going on national news to discuss? You guys actually have the nerve to single out Fox News as being biased and condemn the station for that?
For What? …………For doing the EXACT same thing that ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC do?
I have long held the belief that Democrats are hypocrites and that their liberal ideology is hypocrisy based. That hypocrisy is usually demonstrated every time you open your dumb mouths. That is one reason why I encourage your comments and angry tirades. Through them, you prove me right all the time. But in the case of your infatuation with Fox News, your insanely unhealthy infatuation with that network, and only them, makes it evident to everyone other than yourselves that you are hypocrites
You actually have the nerve, gall and audacity to be disgusted with Fox News for not overlooking the flaws and foibles of liberals and then you call them a station promoting a conservative agenda while saying nothing about literally every other existing network, media outlet and group of reporters and commentators on your favorite programs.
Please tell me where and when any of the following lamestream media liberals do not promote a pro-leftwing “perspective”;
- Larry King, Wolf Blitzer, Katie Couric, Matt Lower, Meredith Vieira, Contessa Brewer, Campbel Brown, Ann Curry, Katie Couric, Nora O’Donnell, John King, Kiran Chetry, Miles Obrien, Anderson Cooper, Candy Crowley, Mika Brezinski, Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann.
And that’s to name just a few.
But go ahead, please tell me where these people deliver an unbiased news report.
You wanna claim that Fox is biased? Who was Dan Rather working for when he failed to verify the validity of falsified documents that allowed him to falsely tell the nation that President Bush went AWOL and deserted his command in the Air National Guard?
Good Lord, you people are hypocrites. Your are shameless buffoons who live by double standards and survive on hypocrisy. You claimed it was patriotic to protest President Bush but now claim it is unpatriotic to disagree with President Obama. You are highly offended by fringe elements who depict President Obama as Hitler but you made copies of images that made George Bush look like Hitler and proceeded to laugh yourselves to tears.
You are hypocrites. Face it. You are lying hypocrites. So put those fingers down and stop pointing them at Fox News. Starti pointing them at the endless array of journalistic prostitutes that you TiVo and talk about around the office water cooler or, in your case, the unemployment line.
But before you get ready to shoot off one of your hypocrisy proving comments, I want to let you in on a big secret. Fox News is not liberal. Can you believe it?……… They are the only station that does not run with strictly liberal reporters, commentators and guests. While Rachel Maddow shows clips of tribute to Nancy Pelosi and then cozies up to her for a softball interview, Neil Cavuto will interview a Barney Frank and then turn to a Newt Gingrich for a counterpoint. Hmmm, maybe that is what is fair and balanced, while shows like Countdown to Nothing with Keith Olbermann or Softball with the Screwball Chris Matthews are unstable and biased.
Here’s another secret. While you are crying about what you believe is the overwhelmingly biased coverage of one, “one”station, that you think is conservative, all those other so called news outfits that you like and listen to, well their ratings consistently come in well under those of Fox. So while you may hate Fox, believe it or not, a lot more people like Fox than they do your favorite liberal network.
Oh, and one other thing. I am a conservative and I can tell you this, Fox News may not be a liberal based outfit, but they are not conservative . If you were to compare Fox to any partisan politician, you would have to label them as a Rino. And I do not like Rhino’s very much.

Have you ever stopped to think that while this is distracting people, things are being voted on that will in the end erode the standard of living in this country. Basically folks, you wont be getting raises to offset the taxes you will be paying. So you may want to consider what you will have to give up in order to pay your taxes.
CNN without a doubt is more balanced.
MSNBC seems like it's increasingly trying to be "Fox News for the Left," which does nothing for their own journalistic integrity. I honestly haven't watched enough MSNBC to make a valid comparison.
I am curious Anthony... what makes you say FNC is "Rhino" (isn't it RINO?) rather than actually conservative? You think Fox is more Olympia Snowe than Newt Gingrich? (For all I know, Gingrich could be a RINO in your book).
What they put on TV is stuff to attract whites with bad resentments of others.. they just feed on anything that excites teh worst in human nature....
Bush & Cheney constantly used Fox for Soft interviews and as a propoganda tool... They should change their name to the Phony News and hate network.. never fair adn always unbalanced.
Or President should not give them the time of day!!
The rest of us vacillate between hysterical laughter and outrage. But none dare call it news.
It's all a matter of perspective. I think Obama is a centrist. He's too conservative for me on foreign policy and a moderate on social and domestic policy. There are very few leftists in the national government.
MSM then is Liberal by intent, but only to a limited degree, so that FOX can complain about it and each idelogy can think they have a trusted home source for their info ... yet on matters important to the owners, all will be presented to asure the outcomes they want.
The public falls for it all, being the fools they are, and that being what the real owner/controllers of the world intend.
As for the popularity of Conservative radio programming, without a doubt the Liberal side cannot hold a candle to them ... because they do not even want to, being just more liberal (intelligently peaceful and at peace with themselves), having no need to rile up the troops because they do not see themselves as war0mongering troops, leaving all of that naturally to those on the Right who so love to fear and hate, the kind of stuff that takes place on Right-wing outlests ... the huge following audience on the Right is nothing to be proud of except for the idiots who think that way, it just goes to show how they need a "leader type" loudmouth to get behind ... because individually out of their pack mentality they are abject cowards, gutless creeps with big loud mouths ... no brainer, obviously.
The News hour on PBS reports the news without the slant that is now common place.
I feel we need to bring back journalistic standards, like the integrity displayed by Walter Cronkite and leave the punditry to the talking heads
OH so true. They were really upset when FOX News doubled all other stations in ratings. Even the liberals were polled and the number was around 68% that watch FOX News because they dont want to be lied to... funny huh?
The catch phrase says it all... we report, you decide.

The real question is.... Does Faux make you a moron or does it just attract morons like a flame attract moths?
