Appearing on “The O’Reilly Factor” last night (September 18th), Chris Wallace asserted that the 0bama Administration is “the biggest bunch of crybabies I have dealt with in my 30 years in Washington.”
The discussion addressed the fact that President Obama is doing all of the major Sunday News Shows, except “Fox News Sunday”.
Wallace pointed out he could understand why Obama would be upset with Glenn Beck or Sean Hannity, but O’Reilly’s show and Fox News Sunday don’t just “beat on him.”
Bill O’Reilly added, “The power shift in the media is now with FOX, FOX News, and talk radio. And the Obama administration doesn’t seem to understand that. They can go on these shows, CNN, but it doesn’t matter anymore. We matter, because the people that need to be persuaded are watching us — the Independents who make the calls.”

Chris Wallace has always been a great voice of reason.
He learned from his Dad just how journalism could be misused and is almost completely liberal/socialist (of course “journalists” accept their paycheck since their socialism is intellectual only).
Thank God he is smart and has a sense of humor (those always go hand-in-hand).
CW rocks!
It’s amazing how Obama has appeared on every major news network besides FOX! What can’t take the heat? He doesn’t want to answer the tough question from Chris Wallace or anyone else on that news network. Dems can stand it when they are the scorn of the news media.
Dupe. Check the top of breaking news.
Sure, some of the programs on FNC are biased commentary, but even these shows have revealed breaking news that is “somehow” overlooked by the fringe media. Nonetheless, one could easily understand our President not wanting to appear with Beck or Hannity.
But, Chris Wallace’s Sunday program is as fair and balanced as any available on TV. By avoiding the enormous audience of FNC, IMHO, the administration is making just one more strategic error ... and they’ve made a lot of these errors lately.
This morning on Fox & Friends, he called them “petty” and “childish”.
He also said that his show will get along fine without them.
Fox’s viewership is, for the most part, conservative - because the rest of the MSM has totally abandoned all pretense at “journalism” and is, in fact, merely a mouthpiece for the socialists.
Therefore, why would Zero go on Fox, when we aren’t going to support his viewpoint anyway?
Barack Obama can’t afford to have any of his true believers actually watch Fox News, because they might suddenly understand why so many other people do watch it.
BHO will start going on FNC about 1 year before the next Presidential election. Count on it.
I heart Fox News.
You’re probably right. But, the bigger question is “Will FNC shun him as he has ignored them?”
My one disappointment with Wallace was the interview he did with Bubba after he was out of office. Clintoon leaned forward, poked him with his finger, stared at him and did everyhting he could to intimidate Chris and not answer the questions. While Wallace did not appear intimidated, he did NOT say anything like: “Mr. President, allow me to rephrase the question...” or “Please don’t poke me...”
