Obama Blasts Fox News: 'I've Got One Television Station that is Entirely Devoted....
News Busters ^ | June 16, 2009 | Jeff Poor

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 (video) 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."

If Obama would watch Fox, he might come to understand "fair and Balanced"....something the Crony King isn't. Just look at the UAW, and his running interference for his race.....did I say racism? Naw, you misunderstood me........

That’s the only news station I watch. The Obama propagandists will have to be satisfied with their DU audience.

Every time I see this dope on TV, I recall the Mel Brooks bit from History of the World Part II....

Its when King Louis turns to the camera and says, “Its good to be the king.”

"I've got one television station that is entirely devoted to attacking my administration, not completely in the tank yet and does not think I am GOD"

There, fixed it.

"First of all, I've got one television station that is entirely devoted to attacking my administration."

The only thing keeping pace with the national debt is the accumulation of Obama's lies.

Obama’s other obsession is Rush Limbaugh.

At least 3 times a week Obama schedules an appearance that starts almost exactly at the same time that Rush starts.

Obama is incapable of accepting criticism, no matter how minor or how limited.

He grew up with indulgent grandparents, has benefited throughout his life from racial quotas and liberal guilt, and he has had the greatest news media free ride in the history of American presidents.

Scratch the surface, and this guy is weak and vulnerable.

Keep picking away at him, Freepers, he can't handle it.

“Obama Blasts Fox News: ‘I’ve Got One Television Station that is Entirely Devoted....”

As if ABC hasn’t crawled up your @#@ and are “fair and balanced”...and the other two are dying to do the same.

So if you can’t have 100% of the networks blowing you from sun up till sundown, you’re just not happy, are you, Zero?

All of the other network news programs might as well be white house productions, for Gods sake.

Obama has 1 network attempting to accurately report what he is doing without gushing over his every word. Bush had at least 6 networks and several dozen newspapers on a constant crusade to damage his presidency. I don't recall him complaining about it either. Obama has reporters bowing to him and he still whines.

Obama is paying off the other stations. Fox provides us with "Free Speech".

I was really stunned when Obama said that about Fox....and he is totally wrong to say it....

“First of all, I’ve got one television station that is entirely devoted to attacking my administration,”

Notice the “possessive” nature of that comment.

Let’s see...we have ABC (All Barack Channel), NBC (Nothing (But) Barack Channel) and CBS (Completely Barack Channel) and yet Obama blasts Fox News...perhaps Shep, Whoraldo, Juan Williams and the other assorted asswipes are kissing his ass enough.

My cable company won’t sell me just FNC. I told them I don’t want CNNMSNBC. If enough of us call our cable companies, maybe they will be annoyed. (I don’t expect them to change their policy)
