A: It's the only network willing to ask him tough questions!
People are starting to ask why Obama and many of his minions are afraid to appear on Fox News? Neil Cavuto raised the topic of Obama's distaste for Fox News in this video:

Cavuto's piece makes it clear that Obama's view of Fox News is one that he has long held. Apparently, he seems to prefer networks which give him a pass on many of the tough questions.
On Tuesday, John Harwood of CNBC DID get an interview with Obama and he asked him about fawning media coverage in general. Obama's answer led to another slam against Fox News:
Transcript: Obama On The Economy, Iran John Harwood CNBC.com 16 Jun 2009
HARWOOD: Last question. When you and I spoke in January, you said—I observed that you hadn't gotten much bad press. You said it's coming. Media critics would say not only has it not come, but that you have gotten such favorable press, either because of bias or because you're good box office, that it's hurting the country, because you're not being sufficiently held accountable for your policies. Assess that. Pres. OBAMA: It's very hard for me to swallow that one. First of all, I've got one television station entirely devoted to attacking my administration. I mean, you know, that's a pretty...HARWOOD: I assume you're talking about Fox.

Q. How can DemocRats face off terrorists when they can’t face Fox News?
Obama hates hearing the truth.
The truth is Obama is destroying this country.
The other networks IGNORE this FACT.
They are ignoring FOX news because FOX news is not part of their media conglomeration. It will be easier to deal with them that way, FOX is more manageable as a target, someone that can be blamed for something down the road.
RULE 12: "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."
In fact, you can track most of the things he does by reading the Rules. Not an original thinker, merely charming.
Democrats have no intention of facing off against terrorists.
Democrats have always been afraid of Fox News. In the 80’s Ted Kennedy tried to screw with our immigration laws to keep Rupert Murdoch from becoming a US Citizen so that he could not own a broadcast network here. And that was years before Fox News was even in his plans.
The simple answer: Panywaist Barry canNOT handle criticism.
Long answer: Despite FOXNews having a large, large audience, why appear on FOXNews when a paintywaist President can avoid the tough questions and ensuing critical responses to his charismatic BS and appear on any one of the opposing in-the-pocket “Barry is messiah and like a god” networks....
FNC asks unvetted questions and mostly refrains from worshipping at Obama’s feet. The contrast to the other networks squeeling and throwing their panties on stage is harsh.
“He is merely following his own playbook. Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals”:
...you’re on target with that! He reads that book like Ted Kennedy reads “How to Make a Perfect Martini”.
ABCCBSMSNBC will happily ask 0bama questions - “O illustrious One, Dear Leader whose mind glitters like the stars in the sky, can you tell us whether you would consider your policies brilliant, outstanding, or perfect?” Kim Jong Il has a more adversary press than 0bama.
Obama's people aren't going to appear on Fox News for the same reason Bush's people didn't appear on MSNBC. You don't give your opposition's pet newsorg any handouts. Duh.
I find Fox annoying but maybe if they were to use someone like Bitt Hume or Chris Wallace to do the interview it would look more professional than Mr. Smug Hannity or Blowhard O’Reilly.
Fox News and their anchors are to Zero what mirrors are to a Vampire. Zero is an empty suit, in truth.
Time to Flush D.C.!
Just one? LOL! When Bush was prez, ALL the networks were after him, even FOX (although they would cut him a little slack). BO has all the networks BUT one carrying his water, covering up his mistakes, tossing softball questions at him, and he's whining about one station!
And the cut of it all is that not one "journalist" (except someone from FOX) will point that out!
A better question is how can ABC, NBC and CBS stand to be seen as tame and reliable networks that do not question the President. This should be deeply shameful to them, but for some reason it is not.
Because Obama knows that the difference between being loved and able to do his agenda (Islamic?) is a matter of how much the media adore him.
Hitler was a great teacher in that respect. You must own the media or keep them slobbering over you like a love lorn teenager. Obama has chosen the latter until he can master the former.
It’s not a question as to why Obama will not appear on ox news. The question should be, How come liberals are afraid of defending their positions?
How come Conservatives are proud to be Conservatives, but Liberals have to lie about what they really are? Ask your liberal friends that. It screws their little minds up.
Because he is a coward.
