You can't be loved and adored by everybody, but if you're President Barack Obama and it concerns the media, you can come awfully close.
In an interview on CNBC's June 16 "Closing Bell" with the network Washington correspondent John Harwood, Obama reflected on the media coverage he has received to date. Harwood asked the president to respond to the claim that lack of media criticism has allowed him to "hurt" the country.
"When you and I spoke in January, you said, I observed that you haven't gotten much bad press," Harwood said. "You said, It's coming.' Media critics would say not only has it not come, but that you've 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 sufficiently being held accountable for your policies. Assess that."

“...while we all just sit at our computers picking our noses...”
And sitting on our fat asses whining.
here is the relevent piece: “Obama dismissed that assertion and claimed one station was devoted to “attacking” the Obama administration:
“It’s very hard for me to swallow that one,” Obama said. “First of all, I’ve got one television station that is entirely devoted to attacking my administration,” he added, chuckling.
“I assume you’re talking about Fox,” Harwood replied.
“Well, that’s a pretty big megaphone and you’d be hard-pressed if you watched the entire day to find a positive story about me on that front,” Obama said.
However, it hasn’t gone completely unnoticed by Obama to date. Earlier this year at the White House Correspondents Dinner, he had joked about his coverage - that of Fox News and the rest of the media.
“Most of you covered me; all of you voted for me,” Obama quipped on May 9. “Apologies to the Fox table.”
“
This clown is an embrassnent....just the fact that he would say you all voted for me is enough to show how crooked his opfit is....
Have you EVER seen him without his nose up in the air?Once... He was bending down to kiss someones shoes.. or polish a.. never mind :/
What a whiner !!!
Would he like a little cheese with that whine?!?!?
Bump! Ping! Bump!
‘I’ve Got One Television Station....Attacking My Administration’
YOU’VE got? So it’s yours? Now that you are TOTUS everything is yours?
No. What the American people unfortunately ‘got’ is only one station making a piddling effort to ask questions.
The obvious is lost on the new Pravda media.
I saw that last night and wondered if the President is against freedom of speech?
He supports a tyrantical government in Iran and a regime that dictates what news can and cannot be broadcasted.
I am curious if that’s the kind of Country he wants to model the USA after?
...Have you EVER seen him without his nose up in the air?
Maybe he's simply showing us what a good job he did picking his nose (or had someone else do)
Freepers doing their job and doing a one-on-one counter protest. Call the dirtbags out and blame them personally for the destruction of our economy...name names.
"Hey you...this is your fault...come here... I need to talk to you!"
They'll run like scared rabbits.
Wonder how many of those with Obama bumper stickers have been keyed?....It seems to work for their opposition.
President Bush had every Network News show (ABC,CBS,NBC,and PBS) attacking him - every newspaper but two ( and them most of the time) - every cable news network except for one ( only half the time for Fox News) and President Bush didn't whine.
Obama's the new poster child for whiners. Obama Blasts Fox News: 'I've Got One Television Station....Attacking My Administration'
Is this the interview in which 0bama slew the fly?

So he has the PERFECT excuse to go radical communist and then say it was the only way... it is Bushes fault.
One network displaying journalistic integrity and actually fulfilling their responsibility to the public!
“Obama Blasts Fox News: ‘I’ve Got One Television Station....Attacking My Administration’”
Television station??? You mean “network,” don’t you, zer0?
Because one out of all the networks chooses not to swoon at the sight of you, that’s getting under your craw, isn’t it? One can only surmise you have FoxNews and its entire leadership in your crosshairs and, like your contemporaries in the ranks of ayatollahs in Iran, will dispose of them in the future.
You’re a power-mad, narcissistic, arrogant POS who shouldn’t even be allowed in the White House on a tour, much less as POTUS. You’re pathetic, zer0. You’re an embarrassment to this Nation. Resign now.
Well said, and since his election Fox’s ratings are through the roof, as opposed to the major networks and CNN.
Thanks...that image is now in my head forever.
Now I’ve got THAT image in my head too! Make it stop!!!
Have you EVER seen him without his nose up in the air?
Why, as a matter of fact, yes I have...
Obama is Fidel Lite...he doesn’t go in for the five-hour public harangues like Fidel used to give, but he wants total control of the economy and the media. It would be interesting to have a comparative timeline of his administration and Castro’s steps after taking control of Cuba (he didn’t nationalize everything overnight...the Communists never do it all at once but in stages).
Alice felt that this could not be denied, so she tried another question. "What sort of people live about here?"
"In that direction," the Cat said, waving its right paw round, "lives a Hatter: and in that direction," waving the other paw, "lives a March Hare. Visit either you like: they're both mad."
"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be,' said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
