Obama’s Real Problem? Fox News!
Flopping Aces ^ | 03-08-10 | Curt

Posted on 03/08/2010 10:25:18 AM PST by Starman417

These people just don't get it:

"Obama's big problem," a senior Democrat told me, "is that four times as many people watch Fox News as watch CNN." The Fox network is a remarkable cultural phenomenon which almost shocks those of us from a country where a technical rule of impartiality is applied in the broadcast media. With little rest, it pours out rage 24 hours a day: its message is of the construction of the socialist state, the hijacking of America by "progressives" who now dominate institutions, the indoctrination of children, the undermining of religion and the expropriation of public money for these nefarious projects. The public loves it, and it is manifestly stirring up political activism against Mr Obama, and also against those in the Republican Party who are not deemed conservatives. However, it is arguable whether the now-reorganising Right is half as effective in its assault on the President as some of Mr Obama's own party are.

So let me see. Deficit being raised to astronomical levels, unemployment high and getting higher, housing market down in the dumps, pushing a bill that nobody wants, reading terrorists Miranda rights, putting those same terrorists on trial in the United States, closing gitmo, and making government into some socialist state to control every aspect of a person's life.

That's not his BIG PROBLEM.

This author would obviously have been in favor of a lynch mob to stop Thomas Paine.

The left sure is pushing their meme of rage, anger and hate in response to any views that diverge from their own.

So it’s OK to have 24 hr news if it’s CNN or MSNBC, just not Fox.... Dimmiwit - Do you think that the slanted view on those stations might have something to do with their ratings?

They can complain all they want. Millions and millions are watching for a REASON. The day they are able to find a way to rid FOX of Glenn Beck (no matter HOW they manage to do it....(they got rid of Lou Dobbs)), it’s over.

The only rage I see in broadcast media is spewing from the leftists in the SRM. Since when is it considered ‘rage’ to report the news of the day with as little personal political spin as possible?

In psychology it's called projection. The left are a pack of rabidly angry and hate filled people and just project and accuse those who disagree with them of their own faults.

...I'm thinking that it leans a little more toward “Some of American has a brain.” The fact that we have a brain is the reason that we watch FOX. Our opinion had already been formed. Hence, Obama’s problem is an intelligent and enlightened group of people.

With any skill and perseverance, we will be able to rescue a few lost souls along the way. In that way, Obama will have a bigger problem, leading to his ultimate defeat, and reinstate respect, decency, and freedom to the Office once again by a person who wishes to be a true servant of the people...

“pours out rage 24 hrs a day”?

Gee, when I tuned in Saturday morning Clayton Morris was trying (and failing) to put a 1987 Yugo in gear. Then that evening Mike Huckabee was playing music.

I guess that would be called Quadruple Jeopardy.
