Axelrod: Fox 'not really news' By: Mike Allen October 18, 2009 09:22 AM EST

White House senior adviser David Axelrod said Sunday that the Fox News Channel is "not really a news station" and that much of the programming is "not really news."

"I’m not concerned," Axelrod said on ABC's "This Week" when George Stephanopoulos asked about the back-and-forth between the White House and Fox News, founded by Rupert Murdoch.

"Mr. Murdoch has a talent for making money, and I understand that their programming is geared toward making money. The only argument [White House communications director] Anita [Dunn] was making is that they’re not really a news station if you watch even — it’s not just their commentators, but a lot of their news programming.

"It’s really not news — it’s pushing a point of view.

This gets to be even funnier when you realize it is being reported on Leftist propaganda cite Politico.

"I’m not concerned," Axelrod said

Of course not. No previous Administration in the history of the nation has been 1/100th as obsessed with a lone media outlet.

They should worry about al Qaeda as much as they worry about FoxNews.

All these Fox really isn’t news articles say one thing to me. Democrats are terrified of the truth.

“Laughable............”

That’s OK. The Kenyan isn’t really president and his polls aren’t really dropping.

Much as I regard these psychopaths as a menace to the republic I can't help but laugh at their periods of buffoonery. I wonder who this jerkoff thinks he is talking to? Fox watchers already know he's FOS, and those dullards who take him seriously won't be watching Fox anyway. So to whom is his spew directed?

And I suppose Georgie challenged him by citing the neutral organization that determined Fox was the most evenhanded?

> Axelrod: Fox ‘not really news’

0bama is not really American-born, either.

Worse, he is an anti-American, collectivist and totalitarian statis. A stinking, filthy, slimy, smarmy communist.

To him, we are just the Bourgeoisie and the Proletariat. Suitable only to obey withouth question, or to be lined up in front of a machine gun with a deep trench to our backs.

"...not really a news station..."

But I'll bet that fact checking a SNL skit is hard-hitting journalism at it's best!

Axelrod needs to understand that was ACORN’s position too...you remember ACORN? The organization that Congress defunded as a result of Fox News coverage?

Axelrod...it could happen to your administration too. Just keep it up.

Why should he be concerned? Its not like FNC is beating all of the other propoganda outlets combined or anything.

Oh wait...

"I’m not concerned," Axelrod said on ABC's "This Week" . . . .

For a group of trash like the Zero administration is, they certainly sound concerned. It's all they talk about.
