The White House is accusing Fox News of not being a legitimate source of news, calling them biased, etc. They have tried to block Fox reporters from news conferences, etc., NPR has put a survey online for us to voice our opinion. If Fox loses this poll you can bet Obama will mention it as support for his attack on Fox. Let's show them how we feel about honest conservative news reporting.

Reporting from Washington - At least one Democratic political strategist has gotten a blunt warning from the White House to never appear on Fox News Channel, an outlet that presidential aides have depicted as not so much a news-gathering operation as a political opponent bent on damaging the Obama administration. Political consultants are a staple of cable television talk shows, analyzing current events based on their own experiences working on campaigns or in government. One Democratic strategist said that shortly after an appearance on Fox, he got a phone call from a White House official telling him not to be...

Forget the charges that there is a conservative or liberal media bias. According t media critic James Poniewozik the real bias is moderate bias. From TIME In the argument between the White House and Fox News over whether the cable channel is a conservative mouthpiece, you would think that Fox's viewers would have its back. Not entirely. In an Oct. 29 Pew Research Center survey, TV-news viewers named Fox the most ideological outlet — and 48% of Fox's own viewers called it "mostly conservative" (27% of Fox fans said it was "neither in particular," while 17% said it was "mostly...

Shortly after the White House declared "war" on Fox's news division last month, calling it an arm of the Republican Party and attempting to freeze it out of a pooled press briefing, pundits on both the left and the right cried foul, summoning up comparisons to Richard Nixon's paranoid, vindictive presidency and based on the transcript of a Nixon tape below that comparison is very justified..... The White House has not been happy about Fox's relentless pursuit of the truth, unlike the rest of the mainstream media Fox has covered ALL the news including tea party rallies, anti-health care reform...

Earlier today, the Fox News Channel had a CAIR Executive on to comment on the FT Hood shooting. Fox now has the interview on their website's video segments. Obviously Fox knows about their terror links: http://www.foxnews.com/search-results/search?q=cair+fbi Fox's comment line is 1-888-369-4762 ( http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,77538,00.html )

WHAT IS FOX NEWS THINKING??? I have emailed Fox & Friends, but to no avail. This will be my very first morning without Fox & Friends in over 8 years. I had to turn it to Jane and her issues. They will NOT STOP SHOWING THE SHOOTER'S FACE! Showing his face every now and then for a few seconds is one thing, but I do NOT WANT TO STARE AT THAT KILLER'S FACE ALL DAY! HE IS A MURDEROUS THUG COWARD!

FOX is getting testimony from officer that he heard the shooter make several anti-American, pro-Muslim/jihad-like statements about Muslims need to rise up against the Western agressors and engage in violent attacks against the military like the shooter in Little Rock, AR. This dude was reported concerning his threatening statements and was still walking around. Don't you just love our politically correct Army. I'm talking about some of those libs at the top, not the real soldiers who are fantastic.

Here is video of CNN's Wolf Blitzer confirming the identity of the primary shooter at the Fort Hood Mass Killing today as Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan (previously called Malik Nadal Hasan), a doctor who worked in metal health. Below is video of Fox News' Shepherd Smith identifying the shooter as a "high ranking" official, but not giving the actual name of the shooter for some reason . . . Fox News has since also identified the name of the primary shooter. . . . (VIDEOS)

I cannot believe it! The press (fox news') Shep Smith was doing an interview with Kay Bailey Hutchinson (R-TX) and both of them just admitted that they had had a name (MAJ Hassan Malik) and both refused to name the MUSLIM NAME!COWARDS!

Glenn Beck is recovering from emergency surgery for appendicitis. He headed to the hospital in the middle of Wednesday’s radio show, leaving Pat Gray to fill in. The appendectomy was confirmed later in the day by Judge Andrew Napolitano, who stepped in to host Beck’s TV show on Fox News Channel. Napolitano said Beck was expected to make a full recovery.

Election Night ratings charts from mediabistro and TVbythenumbers

Highlighting even further the ratings erosion at CNN in prime time, the “Most Trusted Name in News” finished in fourth place among cable news outlets during election coverage last night. Fox News was #1 by a mile, followed by MSNBC, then CNN sister network HLN and CNN in 4th place. They were fourth in both total viewers and the A25-54 demographic. CNN’s 4th place finish last night was only made more glaring because last year’s election coverage on the network was their best night of all time. They didn’t just have more viewers than every other cable news network last...

If you suspect problems at the polls e-mail: Voterfraud@Foxnews.com ------- It is "very easy" to steal an election using absentee ballots, claims Jan Tyler, a former Denver Elections Commissioner who now runs the website National Election Reform Examiner. She said some people shoveling her driveway, for example, told her they knew that "six or seven absentee ballots were sent to dead people," and she fears the numbers across the country could be much larger than experts believe and that prosecutors do not take infractions seriously enough. Fox News has found ongoing allegations of absentee ballot fraud in at least a...

Ann Coulter debates Limbaugh vs. Obama

The Obama White House’s de­ci­sion to chal­lenge Fox News ap­pears driv­en equal­ly by strat­e­gy and frus­tra­tion. It is also a test case for poli­ti­ci­ans in both par­ties. That is be­cause par­ti­san frag­men­ta­tion through­out Amer­i­ca’s news media and their au­di­ences has grown sig­nif­i­cant­ly. Fu­ture Re­pub­li­can pre­s­i­dents will have to de­cide, as Team Obama has, how to buck or ac­com­mo­date that trend. Fox News has at­tract­ed the most at­ten­tion be­cause of its “fair and bal­anced” chal­lenge to its com­peti­tors and its suc­cess. But the au­di­ences of its com­peti­tors have tilt­ed shar­ply in the other direc­tion. (This re­porter is chief Wash­ing­ton cor­re­spon­dent for...

Here is video of liberal Steve Murphy on Fox News yesterday where he complained that "it is tough debating two folks here." When the Fox anchor said "fair and balanced," Murphy says "two against one - not fair and balanced." . . . (VIDEO)

Rush Limbaugh's tough criticisms of President Barack Obama on Fox News Sunday “broke” the White House's truce with Fox News, Bob Schieffer suggested during an interview with Obama's Senior Adviser, David Axelrod, on Face the Nation. After playing a clip of Limbaugh dismissing as “a photo-op” Obama's trip to Dover Air Force Base to witness returning casualties from Afghanistan and quoting Limbaugh's characterizations of Obama as “narcissistic,” “immature, inexperienced” and “in over his head,” Schieffer, seemingly referring to Limbaugh's remarks -- or, at least the decision by Fox News to feature Limbaugh on its Sunday interview show -- forwarded: Last...

Look it was bound to happen, I just didn't think it would happen so soon. The clown prince of the Florida Congressional team finally had a head explosion. It started back in the end of March when Neil Cavuto made mincemeat of him during an interview. That's when Grayson began his slide downhill. First it was his comment, “If you get sick, America, the Republicans’ health care plan is this: Die quickly.” Then, appearing on MSNBC, he said of former Vice President Dick Cheney: “I have trouble listening to what he says sometimes because of the blood that drips from...

WASHINGTON -- In a move that might be a sign of a truce after publicly blasting each other for weeks, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs met this week with a top Fox News executive. The war against Fox News started when the White House said it would treat Fox as “an opponent” and that the network is a biased organization, a research arm of the Republican Party. “The reality of it is that Fox News often operates almost as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party,” White House Communications Director Anita Dunn said recently....

Grayson: FOX News is stalking me By: Josh Kraushaar October 30, 2009 05:59 PM EST Rep. Alan Grayson, the Florida Democratic congressman who made headlines recently with his provocative partisan comments, told supporters Friday he’s being stalked by FOX News. In a fundraising email sent out by his campaign, Grayson said FOX News is ambushing him because he’s a “strong voice for justice” but that he won’t be taken down by the cable news network’s “weapons of mass distraction.” The confrontation that sparked the note involved FOX News correspondent Griff Jenkins, who approached the freshman congressman outside his Capitol Hill...

Limbaugh Tells Fox News Dems Trying to 'Steal' Private Sector The conservative radio talk show host blasted the Democrats' health care bills as a front that would steal money from American businesses and effect the partial takeover of the private sector. Health care reform legislation being pushed through Congress represents the "biggest snatch of freedom and liberty" in U.S. history, Rush Limbaugh tells "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace in an exclusive interview to air this Sunday. The conservative radio talk show host blasted the Democrats' health care bills as a front that would steal money from American businesses and...

While the Obama administration continues its war against its media critics, well-known liberal journalists — instead of defending freedom of the press — are joining the attack on a news network they despise as much as does the administration. Gone is any seeming concern for the right of commentators to voice their own opinion, because mainstream liberal editorial writers are sure their opponents are both extremists and wrong. Take, as our first example, Jacob Weisberg, editor-in-chief of The Slate Group. Writing in last week’s Newsweek, Weisberg explained at the start that anyone who watches Fox News knows immediately that Anita...

We’ve had lots of cable news charts on the site recently showing dramatic declines for both individual cable news show and cable news network ratings as a whole compared to their October 2008 election period. Many have asked about a comparison of Fox’s results with those of CNN and MSNBC, and reader MikeS has come through again, compiling the charts below showing the relative audience for each network compared to its October 2008 average for both adults 25-54 and average viewers. It’s pretty clear that the election year ratings hangover being suffered by both CNN and MSNBC initially struck Fox...

Obama and his staff tried to have Fox News banned from the White House Press Corps, but that plan fell through. What's he to do now? NOTE: The author of this comic requests that you visit his web site and please refrain from copying the cartoon within this thread. Thanks!

In the war between Fox News and the Whitehouse, I'm supporting: The White House on this one; Fox News isn't "fair and balanced." Fox News on this one; it asks questions others don't and the White House should be able to handle them. Neither side. They're both trying to play this "feud" to their advantage.

We need to make some big numbers on this thing. Fox may not be perfect, but its the best we have in terms of Television.

Looking for more reasons you might support Fox News.

Freep this poll the White House is accusing Fox News of not being a legitimate source of news, calling them biased, etc. They have tried to block Fox reporters from news conferences, etc., but the other news networks are fighting back (in favor of Fox) and caused the White House to back down.
