President Obama Throws MSNBC and CNN Under the Bus with Fox News; Says to "Stop Watching" - Video
Freedom's Lighthouse via Talking Points Memo ^ | February 3, 2010 | TPM via Brian

Posted on 02/03/2010 10:56:57 AM PST by Federalist Patriot

Here is video of President Obama today talking to Democrats where he told them to turn off "MSNBC" and other Cable TV networks and get out with real people and connect with them. Obama said they need to get out of the "echo chamber" where the topic is constantly politics.

It does not surprise me that Obama said to turn off Fox News. That is consistent with the war on Fox. But the folks at CNN and MSNBC especially, have to be in shock that he would say such a thing when they have sacrificed their journalistic integrity on his behalf! . . . (VIDEO)

This is truly remarkable. Mr. Obama thinks there is something wrong with Washington, DC being all about politics. That’s how the dadgummed city was created in the first place.

Good Lord, if it weren’t for politics, there would be no United States!

I’m surprised it took the fascist pig this long to suggest such a thing.

He all but said “how can I convince you to go along with my shitty plans if you understand just how excretal they really are?”

He's losing the political war, so he thinks if we just focus on "helping people" we'll want Obamacare passed. By stopping the political discussion, he stops his losing streak.

Reminds me of what Ann Coulter said: the "rule" of not talking politics at the table was invented by liberals, who have no good arguments.

Based on the ratings, I think they already turned off CNN and MSNBC.

I remember leading up to his coronation, Freepers were predicting how the MSM would throw Zer0 under the bus once he got in power. Now it looks as if Zer0 beat them to the punch. I hope this really torques their jaws and they come back swinging.

This could get very interesting.(I hope)

Especially coming on the heels of yesterday’s censorship of the Reuters article.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I missed that story. What is this about? Do you have a link?

Uhh.They did that last August and got their noses bitten off. Maybe Obama should ask Tim Bishop of Long Island to start this connecting to real people. His was the first Townhall in June ‘09 where the folks came out with torches and pitchforks. The video of these Long Islanders went viral and set the stage for the rest of the summer. Yeah, Obama. Get Tim Bishop to kick this off.

Wa’na bet that the birth certificate and his natural born status will become news all of a sudden?

Lately, it's been news, but the slant has been 'look at this primitive screwhead who is so unintelligent that he actually believes Obama has no valid birth certificate'.

At some point, one of these journalists is going to figure out that Obama has no valid birth certificate.

If one in every 300 Americans is watching MSNBC or CNN, these networks are irrelevant.

Read the comments over on YouTube and you’ll see what insanity and abject stupidity we conservatives are up against...

I’m actually going to watch Chris Matthews tonight. Will be looking for any “tingly feeling in my leg” comments.

He’s too late. Judging by their ratings, everyone turned MSNBC off a long, long time ago.

I was one of them. I also believe that at some point, it will be cool to dump on Obama - among journalists, comedians, and pop culture. And that Obama won't take it very well.

Whoa, not so fast. Have you ever thought that perhaps they belong in the streets of Mombasa?

Don't count on Matthews to say anything negative. He's going down with the ship.

As I think about this I could NOT testify in court about the natural born citizenship of people who are really very close to me. For example:

** I would not be able to testify in court that I **know* that my daughter-in-law or son-in-law are natural born citizen.Many of my friends? My neighbors? Gee! the same thing!

Without documentation I really do NOT know.

So?...The first time a candidate or reporter brings this up to a Republican candidate the response should be, “Well?....Are YOU a natural born citizen? How would I know that YOU are a natural born citizen without seeing the documentation!”
