President Obama’s ban on Fox News continues--to what end?

Examiner ^ | 10/21/09 | Bridgette Wallis

President Obama and his administration do not want you watching Fox News.

According to them, Fox News is not really a news organization. But, they feel CNN, MSNBC, and Univision are real news organizations, so you are allowed to watch them.

to FOX turning up the spotlight I hope

THis will end when real journalists figure out what the hell is going on. God Help Us, I hope it is soon.

Just a feeble attempt at “Controlling”! I think they will cut thier own throats if we give em a sharp enough knife!

Somedays, I feel like I must not even really be here, and that instead, I’m trapped in an alternate universe.

That's the problem, there are no longer many journalists working on TV or on the press, so to them this could be cool because he would be doing what they would approve of from their political points of view.

Ahhh, I see. The Obama Administration is attempting to force Fox into a defensive position, spending more time on defending themselves while the healthcare bill, Internet neutrality, etc., passes. What the Obama team doesn’t realize is that the Fox viewers are completely aware of the Obama regime’s tactics here.

Or - will the completion of the Muslim Communist takeover be complete soon?

[historyrepeatz]

Make that, Maoist Muslim Communist takeover?

[RockinRight]

I propose that instead of “The Messiah” we start calling Obama what he is - “The Tyrant.”

The white house quislings are depending upon the dissonance factor to obfuscate their stealth change of America into a Marxist/fascist state. Some will see through it, but most will not, kind of like the following example:

The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whotuit a pboerlm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.. Azanmig huh?

The problem is, real journalists have no idea what “real journalism” looks like. Most of them have never seen it.

In truth, the days of going out and gathering information from “reliable” sources is over. This generation of “reporters” sits at their desk and scours the Internet for quotes, stories, facts, etc. When a story can be matched up with some discovered data, information or facts that have been collected, they run with it.

In this way, they can always shift the blame. Note that very few “reporters” have stories these days that break news and have only one credit given.

On the other hand, when important people have a story, they no longer go only to the MSM. Nobody trusts them. Instead, they break stories on Breightbart or a blog. When the MSM finally catches up, they are quoting crap they found on the Internet.

For them, the sky is falling. There are very few “real journalists” left and those calling themselves journalists have little knowledge of what journalism actually is.

I few days ago, somebody posted an article from the 1930’s. It was about how the US had banned all US warships from the eastern coastal waters to prevent attraction of German attacks. The story was boring but very factual. It was news. It was dry and did not include a lot of adverbs and adjectives. It didn't contain presumptions or invite speculation. It was what news is suppose to be.

Why the hell would Fox News care if Obama comes on their network? They are getting giant ratings as it is, and the interest level in hearing that dope talk has fallen to just above zero.

It is better that Obama does not go on Fox. I fear those "hard hitting" reporters would roll over and show their belly if they actually had to ask him tough questions to his face.

[Nosterrex]

Sometimes I wonder if the Obama regime is extremely clever or utterly stupid. Is Obama deliberately creating an issue in order to divert us from his disastrous presidency, or is he really and truly that stupid? If you go by the saying that one should never underestimate his enemies, then I guess that we should assume that Obama is smart and his actions are clever. In that instance, he has some purpose or reason for his madness. What could that be? Is he trying to garner favor with the radical left wingers, such as the Daily Kos? Is he trying to destroy all critics or criticisms of him and his radical friends? Is the trying to get the public to focus on something other than his socialistic policies and list of foreign failures? Maybe you can think of other reasons behind Obama’s ploy to attack FOX?

[MEGoody]

I’ll stop watching Fox when they pry my clicker out of my cold, dead hands. ;)

[historyrepeatz]

“Tyrant” is the term our Forefathers have used, and surely would’ve used in describing Obama. The word “Traitor” and “Seditious” also comes to mind. Agreed.

So are White House correspondents Carl Cameron and Major Garrett of Fox News, banned from the White House briefing room?
