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."

I don’t see what Zer0’s complaint is. At least 47% of the voters are against him but only 25% of the networks are. Sounds to me like he’s makin’ out on the deal.

We don't call him Hussein for fun. Just like his probably-not-so-distant-relative Saddam, The First Muslim Thug cannot abide anything but absolute, complete 100% love & adulation.

If he lasts into his 2nd year (not 'term', 'YEAR'), he'll probably set all criminals free because they are guaranteed votes (despite all the laws forbidding this) and put that 47% of the population in prisons where ObamaCare will see to it that we're all literally lobotomized.

“... he;ll have the names of those of us on FR somehow.”

It would be nice if they sent us all to the same “re-education camp.

White guilt is what elected this man.
White guilt is what is still keeping them silent.

That is the frightening side. Complicity across the board seems to be the status quo. I will admit I do not have the ability anymore to understand today's news, I expect my elected leaders to give me a clue. They won't.

The one TV news network that offers an alternate take from every other network is picking on him.
I guess you can't be fair and balanced if you can find anything wrong with his administration.

I remember when Bush was confronted with protesters or other forms of criticism, he would always say he was happy to live in a democracy where these people have a right to express their views.

Obama certainly isn’t very comfortable in a democracy, is he? He would fit in better in a country like Zimbabwe, where he could do a Mugabe. Those rulers tend to have a sword of Damocles hanging over their head, though. It’s a tough world.

When the GOP gets control of the White House (and Congress) can the President simply bar ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, PBS, The New York Times, Newsweek, Time, etc. for obvious liberal bias?

>We are truly in a “ Cold “ civil war.

Hm, very good way of putting it.
It’s not just the “Right-Wing Extremists” either, look at how jumpy/nervous the administration/news-networks are... they’re waiting for one sharp event, either a crazy, or more probably a group of patriots ACTING on the belief that “enough is enough.”

“When did it become the job of the media to post POSITIVE stories on anyone?”
You are so correct in asking that question.
There is something so wrong with this whole interview.
It is now assumed that the media’s job is to support and not analyze.

We need to demand he resign with all the voices we can muster.

Obama hasn’t seen criticism.

Put me in charge of one of the networks. I’d become the center of his hatred real fast.

Moreover - this whining is pathetic. ABC just gave him a bunch of air time to sell his ObamaCare. What happened to “The Fairness Doctrine” so we can “hear the other side”????

*Shakes head*

And I refer from not only Congress but also to the Supreme Court. It will be an interesting book to read in 75 years.

line2 I agree with you. I don't understand why there isn't more outrage and marching in the streets.
