FOX News OUT-FOXES the FAUX Obama Administration

FOX spreading lies and hate is winning ???

Only in America

Only the uninformed would make that statement, Peter.

Fox is the only network telling the truth and most Americans aren't listening. Wake up America! Why does the White House feel so threatened by Fox, because their telling the truth. If you don't listen you will wake up with no freedom at all! Some other country will take over America. How can you all be afraid of one man - Obama??

*rolls eyes THREE TIMES*

...thinking, what did I mis now!

Glad to see Obama wasting his time on this.

Roger Ailes probably sleeps with the heads of dead horses all the time. I'll bet he complains that "They were just getting good" when the heads get changed out.

I'm curious about this "Faux Obama administration." Is there a group that's impersonating the real Obama administration?

Yeah, I'm the Internet Czar for that one.

(Gee whiz, I hope I get to be the Csar of something . . . not just any ol' thing, I mean something cool, like the Czar of Rock n Roll, or detention camp hoops, or salsa . . . I make a mean salsa . . . )

Word has it that an illegal alien has been appointed Salsa ‘Czar but is Guacamole Czar cool enough for you?

Well, I guess . . Avocados don't make it around here, we get a low twenties freeze every few years . . . and have you seen the price of those puppies! . . I wish I was an illegal alien . . . Hey, you figure you gotta be an illegal alien, to make Illegal alien Czar? . .

OK - yuze guys knock it off with your "new" toy. I have to put on my glasses AND move close to my screen. YIKES!

You can be Illegal Alien Czar if you want to because that illegal alien who was supposed to take the position became Salsa Czar instead, and this Faux Admin does what it pleases so it can best simulate its counterpart.

What Czar do you want to be, Linda?

...and I jumped up and down, as I removed my glasses. *whew*

Let me think... any suggestions? My friends call me "lovely Linda" "loquacious Linda" (you know how I take over a post) "led foot Linda" (Dad used to call me that one) "left lane Linda" (kind of goes along with the 'led foot' thang)

Ok, we now have Internet CZAR (Sue)' Illegal Alien CZAR (John) and...

oh oH OH - how about Gather Post CZAR because, I am "Loquacious Linda"

...maybe we want just a good, old fashioned FAUX CZAR - pretty much what the Obama administration is made up of these day. Just add FAUX in front of their CZAR title and we have the winners!!! or winers!! or wieners!!! OK, I give up.

Hey, hey, hey, slow down here, I haven't heard anything from the big O yet, for all I know, I'm like the Czar of toothpaste, for goodness sake . . . there's nothing official about it . .

Don't worry, Emanuel will anoint us...

Amazing the other networks stood up for freedom of the press.. They must be really scared.

They are, this administration is going after everything. You do the wrong story and it will be your network next.

Ron said: Amazing the other networks stood up for freedom of the press.. They must be really scared.

Sue said: They are, this administration is going after everything. You do the wrong story and it will be your network next.

They should be Ron. They are in his good graces now ... but what Sue said is not only a possibility with this admin, it's a virtual probability. Dominoes and such ...

Fox network in dangerious by inciting through lies their agenda to attack the American government. They are slanderious and traitor to the American ideals. It's time to shut them down.

I know, imagine Mao was soooo American. I am surprised he (Mao) isn't on Mt. Rushmore!

He probably would be if it were up to Obama and his administration.

Hey Lera! How are you???

Hi Sue! All's well here, babe.

Glenn Beck's ratings dipped 10% lower this week, as did FOX's daytime slot. At least some people are fed up with hate speech and deliberate misinformation.

Fox News has pulled off another dominant quarter, claiming the top 10 cable news programs in 3Q 2009 and growing against 3Q 2008, while CNN and MSNBC lost substantial portions of their election-boom audience.

Fox News averaged 2.25 million total viewers in prime time for the third quarter, up 2% over the previous year. That's more than CNN (946,000, down 30%) and MSNBC (788,000, down 10%) combined.

"The O'Reilly Factor" led all cable news programs with an average of 3.295 million total viewers for the quarter, up 12% over the previous year. "Hannity" (2.603 million, up 9%), "Glenn Beck" (2.403 million, up 89%), "On the Record with Greta van Susteren" (2.150 million, up 16%), and "Special Report with Bret Baier" (1.997 million, up 20%) rounded out the top five.

Meanwhile, flagship programs at MSNBC and CNN did not sustain their growth from 3Q 2008: At MSNBC, "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" averaged 1.087 million total viewers, down 12% from the previous year and "The Rachel Maddow Show" averaged 996,000 total viewers (Maddow began the program in September 2008, so a comparison for the quarter would be inaccurate; compared to September 2008, though, Maddow's September 2009 total viewer average is down 40%). At CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" averaged 1.005 million viewers, down 17% from the previous year and "Lou Dobbs" averaged 658,000 total viewers, down 24%. Larry King and Campbell Brown were both down just slightly in total viewers.

CNN in particular had a rough quarter in the primetime Adults 25-54 demo: the network dropped 39% compared to 3Q 2008, averaging 287,000 viewers.

Hate speech? Is that what libs call it when the truth is told?

I thought no one watched Beck anyway Prima, how can their ratings go down if no one was watching them to begin with?

Charles Krauthammer carries no credibility. He is a right-wing columnist.

WHITE HOUSE AND THE FOX NEWS FEUD

"Charles Krauthammer carries no credibility. He is a right-wing columnist."

Well, then, based on that ludicrous logic, Robert Gibbs is even less credible, right??

Charles Krauthammer ... the man has more on the ball in his wheelchair bound body and mind than the President does in his whole administration.

No people like Micheal Moore and Rachel Maddow are real journalists, just ask them.

Just sitting here, reading and grinning!

I dislike all of the lamestream news media, but I was happy to see them stand up for Fox. They, at least, understand that if this administration decides to exclude one network, it could do the same with the next and the next.

who would have thought them to have that courage? I sure didn't. I'm very pleased to be proven wrong.

I was surprised and pleased as well.

The Obama administration completely underestimated the backlash they received from the mainstream media over this. Boy did they ever get egg on their faces.....

Arrogance un-leashed! Can we say "blow-back"????

You'd think they would have done a little investigation and found out about the rules of the pool before they made themselves look like morons. We can only hope this isn't how his real war strategy works.

Ok, you win Sue. Arrogant AND incompetent!!!

thanx, Linda
-- I linked to the article on my blog
~~~

you are welcome - MY pleasure!

Tessa D in 2010!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll vote for you - several times - if I can get ACORN to register me!!!!

thanx, Sue, but I really do not want to go to DC -- they have terrible weather there
~~~

Oh, you won't be there much. Short work week, high pay, investigative trips all over the world, great healthcare and pension, and all the intimidation you can handle!

oh, and the Cadillac health plan -- I bet they decide to tax it
~~~

Not to worry - our taxes will buy you the best known to man!

or woman -- we must be politically correct
~~~

*grin*

And when you leave office you have a guaranteed income for life!!!!

and - AND - you can become a lobbyist!!!! That's where old politicians go to die.

I guess the one difference between Fox and the other TV news media is that Fox is the only one that sponsors a protest movement and promotes it on the air. It's more like an advocacy organization that owns a cable network.

I think excluding Fox was a bad PR move but it was fun while it lasted.

It's always about the ratings and getting people's eyes on their programs - increases the advertising traffic and income.

It is all part of a larger plan ... they knew going in that this would happen and the reason they even did it was to further consolidate the die-hard FOX wing-nuts behind each other in hating the Obama administration even more and thus supporting their preferred neocon folks ... as such business of old continues. (just a guess of course)

Those aren't the ones the Administration had better fear. Its the indies and 3d party types they are driving towards the GOP with such stupidity.

Thanks Linda,

Thomas Paine Said it best,
"He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from opposition; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach himself."

I think the press has come to this realization.

Thanks Dan - Payne is a good resource.

Think about this, who or whom do we have living today that future generations will quote?

Obama better clean up his act now!

Wow, the Obama administration is a bunch of whiners.

I'm loving it! Poor Obama and his administration have moved into "victim city" *CHUCKLE*

I posted an article on this myself a few days ago. Fox is the only network that is questioning Obama's actions, and they are being censored for it. You look even here, and you see the hard core left ignoring the issue, and supporting a pro-dictatorship action. No president or administration has ever recieved as little opposition as Obama has, and no administration has ever tried censoring any media outlet like Obama has.

Obama is showing what his mettle is actually made of, and it is not of American values, but more closer to that of China ot Russian.

I think it's the highly processed foods, chemicals in their water (including fluoride), vaccine overload, chemically-based meds overload, daily and nightly brainwashing on T.V., video games, loss of morals (no moral compass), raised by single parents or from a divorce, no guidance, don't know difference from right or wrong, and proof the dumbing down of the population is working.

No personal insults intended on the circumstances of single or divorced families - not in all cases, but it is a contributing factor in the equation. Kudos to the success stories from these families too.

Unintended consequences.

LOL I love the humnor in that responce, even though there is a lot of truth in it.

I do think the med (recreational) that are becoming the main stay of many of the left, has played a major part in this as the Dumbing down, including through the schools, because if not for this reduction of intelligence this sort of thing would never have had a chance. Look how when they tried it in the 50's they recieve a responce, that yes did go over board, but none the less, would have stopped this crap today.

If you look at the early Phil Donahue shows, you will see an audience who was there to learn and dressed respectfully. But MORE importantly, the level of intelligence and knowledge was obvious when they responded to the viewpoints as well as their questions.

Donahue's show was closed down, just like Obama wants to shut down Fox news - just too much truth coming out of the programs, and LAST thing they want, is for people to actually START thinking when they've been very successful in shutting that down. They only want soldiers/slaves marching lock-step to the same tune. NO thinking for yourself, thank you..

This is very much like when Mao and Linnen took over in their countries. They used much the same tact as the left has, but instead of a war, they used the voting to preform their coup. And lets face it, this is a coup, and many of the extream left cannot see what is going on. A good amount of the more civil left is seeing anf feeling like they were betrayed by Obama and the media, just look at the growth of those watching fox news, more and more of the new viewers are from the left, and they arfe agreeing with a good amount of what is being said on Fox, maybe not everything, but a good amount.

Never thought of it that way but a coup from the voting booth. Now, that makes sense. And Bush had his very important role, as did Bush I and Clinton. Reagan was shut down after he was shot - who knows what meds they gave him and/or why.

Obama is showing what his mettle is actually made of, and it is not of American values, but more closer to that of China ot Russian.

More and more ... and yet, like the lady who keeps saying her boyfriend "didn't mean it" after blacking both of her eyes and sending her to hospital for the fifth time ... many will remain willingly blind to his abuses until it's too late.

"Never thought of it that way but a coup from the voting booth. "

I don't know how else to think of it. We have a guy that has zero worth that walked in and took over the office, and only the Left here in America thinks he is an naturally born American Citizen. We have issues with his history, mostly everything he says he has stood for or done, cannot be proven, but that he stands for values that have been apposed by this country for decades, he shows everyday in office. He surrounds himself with criminals and pro-dictatorship personas. He pushes censorship which is something that is not done here on a government level.
We have serious issues here, and they need addressed, but with the Democrats in control, we are being blocked from any communication, and only told what they want us to hear.
Even with all of Bushes flaws, he was more open to his actions and views that this administration has even tried to be.

The committed left has too much emotion invested in tne president;they're past the point of no return.-Norman

I think you have a very valid point.

What is interesting to me, since I've been accused, repeatedly, of getting my talking points/views from Fox news, I decided to watch it this a.m.

What I believe has happened, is that Fox news has started talking LIKE US! They saw We The People are fed up with govt. continuing to walk all over our freedoms, building empires all over the world at the expense of the lives of our young men and women, not to mention the economy. They found a nitch or gap, and are now filling it.

When this same tyrannical govt. openly tried to shut down Fox News, everyone is wondering what they are saying and why. Big Obama mistake!!! HUGE!

I don't know, but an interesting view. I think a lot of it had to do with the talking heads. These shows like Beck, Hannidy, Bill, and others drew a large following, and they started looking at why. Large numbers of people from all demographis were listening to these people and agreeing with a lot of what they said. So they followed suit by making their news service do more investigation, and opening the reporting so that the listeners can make their own views from what was said.
I like that they give enough points, often missed by the other outlets that I can research these issues better. Actually the main reason I like Fox, is not the news per-sey, but that the points are more accurate for research.

Man, the last two comments above sure show what it's all about ... "they are finally talking like us" ... well, hate to break it to you, but that is the only language that you folks know, they are speaking to you to get your support wherever they can so "their" owners plans can be implemented ... to everyone's detriment but you will never admit it IF you could even recognize it.

The main issue always presented by FOX is of course how all others are lame liberal lazy troublemakers ... "if only they weren't in the way" ...

Thanks Jerry - expanding our horizons has always been first and foremost in our research.

That was a real surprise. I still am stunned the media is actually got the balls to stand up to Obama. I would not have predicted it.

Of course it's not surprising to see how many people here let their hatred of Fox blind them to the dangers that the Administration is doing by picking what parts of the media will not be considered media. That sort of blindness is the most bitter of partisanship.

yes, cheers for the 5 networks that stood up for Fox -- they don't want to see themselves censored, either
~~~

still hard to believe but nice still

Charles is right to scratch his head, but me thinks they all have had enough and if they don't stick together, they will die off one by one.

"We must all hang together,or we will all most assuredly hang separately"!-Benjamin Franklin

United we stand, divided we fall ... fall for our favorite information sources ... which are all owned and controlled by the same "big money" and who play us each off of one and the other ... we are severely divided, just look at the comments all over gather on political issues and so much more ... everyone points their finger of blame at someone else ... and too few ever look up to see why it is that way ... we have been conquered and are now controlled ... and we let it happen out of trust, ignorance and selfishness.

Obama's very big on control, especially when it comes to his ratings with the media.

I really don't see Obama is any different from Bush in respect to the media. I remember Bush inventing the Free Speech Zones where any protesters where forced into Chainlink pens so the press and the politicians wouldn't have to see them. At the convention in Denver the Democrats forced what few protesters there were off to a side street where they couldn't be seen or heard.. Then in Saint Paul the Republicans did the same bringing in Militarized Police to control the situation, when the protesters resisted they were beaten with clubs and the press people who were there were arrested.. None of this from either convention showed up on National TV or in the Mainsteam Newspapers.

I think more questions need to be asked and fewer cow pies tossed into the discussion.

Ron,

"I really don't see Obama is any different from Bush in respect to the media . . ."

I agree, this has "evolved" to be so creepy, and it seems to be about authoritarianism, not classic American politics.

Good points Ron and John (perhaps a new "team") lol

It might be about foreign policy. Continuity in foreign policy is essential if you want to gain the cooperation of other nations. In the original constitution continuity was provided by the U.S. Senate because they were selected by the congresses of the several states instead of by popular vote. The Constitution also provided that any treaty had to be approved by the U.S. Senate. Since the senate was beholden to the States, not to the people this made them more careful when it came to dealing with other nations, it was much more difficult to stampede them into following a short term mass opinion into foreign policy folly.

Now with the Senate being elected by popular vote as well as the U.S. House of Representatives being elected by popular vote and the president being elected by popular vote the checks on foreign policy and the treaties derived from the foreign policy tend to follow mass opinions as they come along.

The authoritarianism of the recent administrations might be an attempt to restore some elements of continuity to present foreign policy. If so it could be very difficult for even honest politicians to talk openly about this issue as it could interfere with such policies perhaps creating wars based on mass passion rather then wars connected to real threats to peace and security.

We end up with a "National Security State" rather than a legitimate government based on a division of powers directed toward protecting the needs, wants and desires of the masses as well as protecting the rights and responsibilities of all of the citizens of the Republic.

Ra

complete craziness from the white house!

Hopefully, this back bite from the rest of the media will slow down the "Fairness Doctrine" with which the administration is trying to bully/control media

just don't hold your breath...

You're right, we must stay ever vigilant on maintaining our rights to free speech!
