Obama Blasts Fox News: 'I've Got One Television Station....Attacking My Administration'

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."

Obama needs his “enemies”. He just can’t imagine that anyone would disagree with him. You can’t attack him, because he’s “special”.

Barack Obama has never been legitimately hired for anything.

Placed, installed, elevated? Yes. Hired? No.

He is itching to shut down Fox News, Chavez-style, as soon as he thinks he can get away with it.

The only thing these networks understand is money. Somehow you have to get to their source of income that allows them to spew their poison.

he’s just got his panties in a wad because Fox isn’t licking his colon clean the way the rest of the pukes in the media are.

Notify sponsors that not going to buy their products advertised on ABC or NBC. Not sure where CBS is in the propaganda war. I say, support FOX advertisers & that’s it. Seems to be working with Letterman.

“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.

When did it become the job of the media to post POSITIVE stories on anyone??

“we all just sit at our computers picking our noses”

That is so gross. I usually just scratch my nads.

An internet boycott campaign of all their sponsors would be a good first step but that would involve conservatives actually organizing and that won’t happen easily.

PLUS, these networks are ALL violating the Federal election laws by making corporate in-kind contributions to a political candidate. They should all be prosecuted and thrown in jail. Or, if the Revolution happens first,... well, ...

"He is itching to shut down Fox News, Chavez-style, as soon as he thinks he can get away with it."

He owns about 10 banks, two huge automobile manufacturers and is about to create a global, financial regulatory body. What makes you think he can't just shut it down now?
