Gateway Pundit ^ | 10-18-09

Posted on 10/18/2009 7:01:24 PM PDT by Justaham

The White House must be so proud. Following their lead, the state-run media is now boldly bashing FOX News, too.

The former news magazine known as Newsweek is now calling FOX News “un-American.”

I guess that makes me unAmerican then. So why do I have to pay federal taxes?

I think we are witnessing an attempted Alinsky-ing of Fox News.

>>No, Pravda means truth.

It meant truth in the USSR too. They had a saying over there: “there is no truth in Pravda”. I can’t think of a better name for Newsweak.

Only a liberal rag like Newsweek could accuse Fox News of being un American for questioning the socialist policies of a communist president. If Newsweek and the other media outlets were doing their jobs Obama the fraud wouldn't be president. He would probably be living with his brother in that cardboard box after he was exposed as a commie fraud. The US media is a total failure and it should be held accountable for the destruction the Kenyan causes.

Quote from the article:

Any news organization that took its responsibilities seriously would take pains to cover presidential criticism fairly. It would regard doing so as itself a test of integrity.

Man, oh man. They say this about Fox News? What about ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, Reuters, NYT.... ?

How about resurrecting the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). Only one minor request.

Do not do this before January 2011.

They can't very well sit on his lap considering where they've got their face buried.

According to Newsweak, you’re either a socialist or you’re un-American.

My parents got Newsweak and when I moved out, I subscribed too. I even had a subscription in my office for clients in the waiting room.

Then about 25 years ago, I decided they were too Lefty for my tastes and I refused to support them.

Their Leftist idealogy has cost them a lot of money just from my family alone.

The former news magazine known as Newsweek is now calling FOX News “un-American.”...the New McCarthyism - For McCarthy the evil was Communism - for the Obama/MSM axis it's Conservatism - and just as with McCarthy, anyone or thing that supports that evil is "Un-American"......

This post from a Time-Warner employee:

As a Time Warner employee, I can tell you that if it were not for doctors’ waiting rooms, Time and NewsWeek magazines would have few subscribers. Some doctors are given the magazines for free–hence, every page you open has a subscription postcard falling out.

Newsweek wouldn't know serious, respectable journalism if it jumped off the computer, walked across the office, and b*tch-slapped them down the hall. Of course, neither would ABCBSNBCMSNBCPBS.

The thing they don't understand about Rush, et. al., is that they went after Bush when he was making bad choices and decisions just as much as Obozo. Rush, Fox, Beck, and all those other guys are only doing the job the rest of them should be doing, but don't, because they're too blind, stupid, and sold out to leftist ideology to know bias when they see it in themselves. Until the msm start being journalists again, they engage in what my dad called, "intellectual incest," namely, that their ideas go around and around, with everyone getting all worked up about some such thing, and there is no outside input. Kinda sad, really, that their brains are wasted that way when they could be used for something else....

Between Newsweek, Time and the gossip rags, Obama and his spouse have been on well over 50 magazine covers. I’d say Newsweek has its head so far up Obama’s nether regions they have no room to talk about any other news organization being against Barry.

Jacob Weisberg
The O’Garbage Factor

Fox News isn’t just bad. It’s un-American.
Published Oct 17, 2009

http://www.newsweek.com/id/218192
~~~~~~~~~~
In August 2008, Weisberg stated on Slate that the only reason Barack Obama would ever lose to John McCain is racism by white Americans against Obama. He stated that “If Obama loses, our children will grow up thinking of equal opportunity as a myth.”[6]
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jacob Weisberg (born 1964) is an American political journalist, serving as editor-in-chief of Slate Group, a division of The Washington Post Company, and a columnist for the Financial Times. He served as the editor of Slate magazine for six years, until stepping down in June 2008.[1] He is the son of Lois Weisberg, a Chicago social activist and connector celebrated in Malcolm Gladwell’s book The Tipping Point. Weisberg’s father, Bernard Weisberg, was a prominent Chicago lawyer and, later, judge. His parents were introduced at a cocktail party by novelist Ralph Ellison.

Weisberg is a frequent commentator on National Public Radio and also writes a weekly column for the Financial Times. He previously worked for The New Republic in Washington, D.C., was a contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine and a contributing editor to Vanity Fair. Early in his career, he worked for Newsweek in the London and Washington bureaus. Weisberg has also worked as a freelance journalist for numerous publications.

now we need the screeching hillary quote that Rush plays and said it sounds like all ex-wives. something about questioning your government doesn’t make you unpatriotic.

the recording does sound like nails on a chalkboard.
