White House lashes out at Fox News for 'lies'

Yahoo ^

[Chet 99]

In the past few months, Fox News' critical coverage of the Obama administration has been the subject of scornful scrutiny by left-leaning pundits and political satirists. But now the White House appears to be willing to get dirt on its own hands, jumping into the fray by blasting the network's "disregard for facts" in a post on the official White House blog.

Written by White House Online Programs Director Jesse Lee, the post takes issue with Fox News' coverage of the president's attempts to help the city of Chicago secure the 2016 Olympics, saying that Rupert Murdoch's cable news juggernaut, which famously bills itself as being "fair and balanced," has "continued its disregard for the facts in an attempt to smear the Administration's efforts" to convince the International Olympic Committee that the U.S. should host the games.

The writer asserts that George W. Bush also contended with the media just as Obama’s administration is targeting Fox and Drudge. He cites the Dan Rather incident - doesn’t seem to notice that CBS was trying to change the results of a presidential election versus Obama trying to silence policy criticism. The writer concludes by implying that Obama’s administration’s public attack on Fox, if it continues, may unintentionally signal that politics HAS NOT CHANGED as Obama said it would with him in office.

These crybabies are becoming more and more obnoxious everyday. It’s time to put the adults back in charge.

Given the ease with which Obama embellishes and invents facts, the last thing this White House should do is get into a pissing match over who respects the truth.

Politicians should know better than getting into fights with media outlets. Makes them look petty.

The country is run by immature juveniles. What an embarrassment.

[Defiant]

in response, For should have a running, daily web site called “Obama Administrations Lies Today”. Then they could post all the lies from Obama hissef, Axelrod, Rahm, etc. It would be a hoot.

Things are far worse for the White House than anyone will admit in the Dinosaur media. Needing to have your own people throw mud at an appeared threat shows two things. They are not able to control the message in the media because the public has lost trust in the media and White House. Look at hits on Drudge and Fox's ratings. Secondly the WH has a staff of children and kooks who think that this is the only way they can get back on message. It's weak. Public at large has no interest in reading this blog.

Oh come ON! The whole country knows that the Olympic fiasco is nothing but an Obama/Daley Pay to Play set up for the Slum Landlords in Obama's Chitown cadre to make billions in construction money, courtesy of Joe the taxpayer, and during a recession too. Then the Slumlords will make big contributions to Obama and the National Socialist party of America. Acorn needs to get its money from somewhere , since they have been cut off.

Obama should be ashamed of himself,talking about Greed on Wall Street when Chicago Greed takes the cake above Wall Street or anyone else.The bid for a Chicago Olympics is grease for patronage rails; most of us wouldn't stoop to take our dogs there to pish on a man hole cover. The gangs are so rampant that its not safe, hardly a place that the world would want to come. Tampa, Houston,Seattle,all are far better places for the Olympics here than Chicago ever will be.

There can be no mistake about it, this is a Pay to Play scheme designed to funnel billions of dollars back into the National Socialist party coffers.One more Obama grift operation,after he has grifted banks, the auto industry,Wall Street, Health Care, and now this.

2. Cost and detailed list of accompanying staff currently on the US payroll?

3. Cost of accompanying staffs' accommodations, food, refreshments, local travel (taxi), Official Transportation, etc. for First Lady's party?

4. Any additional aircraft for First Lady's party, for folks like family, press, dog, Secret Service?

5. Amount Opra is reimbursing the USA for her envolvement and that of her staff for #1 - #4, above?

6. Amount the Chicago Olympic Committee is reimbursing the USA for the First Lady's envolvement and that of her staff for #1 - #4, above?

B - POTUS

1. True and total unhidden cost of Air Force One for the trip to and from Copenhagen?

2. Cost and detailed list of accompanying staff currently on the US payroll?

3. Cost of accompanying staffs' accommodations, food, refreshments, local travel (taxi), Official Transportation, etc. for the POTUS's party?

7. Amount the Chicago Olympic Committee is reimbursing the USA for the POUS's envolvement and that of his staff for #1 - #6, above?

C - Total net expense for "A" & "B" to the USA Tax Payers?

All I ask for a a true and honest (if that is not redundant!) of this "excercise" to the American Public. I'd be interested to also know who has personal vested interests in the possible favorable outcome for this adventure, specifically relating to the possible sale of real estate and other servicees should the Chicago Olympic Committee - 2016 be successful.

That's all I ask. Starting to think of the length of time a snow flake or many snow flakes can survive in Hell while I await the answer to the forgoing questions.

When will someone in the "main stream" news business address any of these questions and share the results with us.

Sounds like....hmmm.....30 mill at least.
