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."

I just can’t stand this anymore...This guy is just ruining this country in record time...while we all just sit at our computers picking our noses...ENOUGH. What are we going to do? WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.
I seem to remember President Bush had a multitude attacking him. Never heard him whine though.
He sounds like a whining crybaby chump if he’s upset about one channel in a 500 channel universe. President Bush never had it so good. Even then, he wasn’t carping about it on the front pages of the libtard newspapers either.
Poor O... One network isn’t in his pocket... Oh the pain...
It's not about you, you self-absorbed narcissist (redundancy?). It's about your ideas. Your policies. Your thug tactics.
He has “one television station”...look at how stupid he is when not on prompter. If Bush would have referred to CBS as a “tv station” they’d still be laughing.
Buck Ofama.
OK... this has got to be one of the lamest administrations since Jimmy... first it was Rush and now it is Fox Network...
Hey Obama, how about solving some national problem instead of worrying about the media? You know... actually doing the job you were "hired" for?
Stop your whining Bari! ALL of the TV stations AND NEWSPAPERS attacked George W. Bush. Try to act like an American and suck it up. Stop acting like a little crybaby, you wuss.
>> while we all just sit at our computers picking our noses... What are we going to do?
I know what you mean. I’m out of snot. Especially that crispy kind that rolls up into a hard little ball that goes *plink* when I flick it at the wall.
Good grief. The Emperor has all other news channels and E! worshipping. Plus the fashion magazines are making his wife into a cover girl. Moreover, the Emperor has appeared on numerous covers of comic books. Gotta get them while they’re young.
>> redundancy?
Not in bambi’s case. He’s a narcissist-squared.
Have you EVER seen him without his nose up in the air?
The marxists know exactly what to do with the networks, and have full control of the American Corporations that own them, Fox is not owned by Americans.
Hussein has put them on notice that they are not to mess with him, and is even now setting up Fox the same way Chavez set up Radio Caracas Television.
The right should take a lesson from them.
Bingo! Bush had all the networks attacking him. Obama is such a skinny little thin-skinned kid he can’t tolerate anything but total support or else he pouts and cries. He’s about to find out this is not a Marxist country!
Lets Roll...I am with you
This is a warning to ABDNC not to question their messiah.
Pray for America
‘I’ve Got One Television Station....Attacking My Administration’
I ASSURE YOU HE WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT STATION BY THE END OF THE YEAR. WE WILL HAVE SOVIET STYLE MEDIA IN 2 YEARS TOPS.
But we just sit and watch it happen so..I guess we deserve it .
Isn’t it great how even babies can be President of the United States..they should lower the age requirement to 5 years old. Let’s see, Obama has EVERY SINGLE NETWORK in the tank for him. MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, CSPAN, Newsweek Magazine, NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, Good God do I Need to continue, yet this whiny little baby is complaining about ONE News Organization that doesn’t like him. Poor Obama, perhaps he made a messy in his diaper, Ok who wants to change him??
