By now, the cat is out of the bag - President Barack Obama and his administration are no fans of the Fox News Channel and have been all too eager to wear that sentiment as a badge of honor.
However, Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer identified the vigor with which the Obama administration has attacked Fox. He explained on Fox News Oct. 20 broadcast of "Special Report with Bret Baier" it's different than just fighting back, but an effort to destroy the cable news channel.
"Look, it's one thing for the government, the administration to attack opponents, institutions, media," Krauthammer said. "It is another to go out to try and delegitimize them and destroy them."

Create a bookmark (I use the Delicious plug-in in Firefox) with the following URL:
javascript:if(document.location.href.match(/http:\/\/[a-zA-Z\.]*youtube\.com\/watch/)){document.location.href='http://www.youtube.com/get_video?fmt='+(isHDAvailable?'22':'18')+'&video_id='+swfArgs['video_id']+'&t='+swfArgs['t']}
Then go to the YouTube page with the video you want to capture and click on the bookmark. You will get a popup allowing you to download the video in mp4 format with a filename video.mp4. It works in Firefox. I haven't tried it in any other browser.
Are you sure? Garret is pretty much a liberal.
“....I’m surprised the WH Press Corps didn’t close ranks behind FOX on this....it would be very cool if they boycotted a Gibbs press conference.”
Great idea.
Will never happen.
Problems with Guts, lack of ...
“President Barack Obama and his administration are no fans of the Fox News Channel”
In a nutshell: Hussein can’t tolerate the truth. He’s probably glued to his TV every night, watching FOX.
Actually saul said NOT to attack institutions, but to attack individual people who you can then demonize.
Where are McConnell, Boehner, Huckabee, Romney etc with the cries of “why isn’t 0 fighting America’s enemies with the same level of anger that he takes on Fox News?!”””
Well said.
Hey Fox, stick with the program. The WH is doing this to discredit your inquiries into the COLB. The old adage of throwing a rock into a pack of dogs applies here.
>>The advertiser’s boycott of Beck has actually been highly effective<<
On what planet?
Dude, I watch Beck every day. There is no lack of ads
From the article “Beck’s Boycott Backfires”
“In fact, many of the advertisers listed as stopping their sponsorship of Beck’s program have not done so. Best Buy and CVS never ran ads on the show, despite being put in the “win” column by boycott organizer Color For Change.
Additionally, advertisers who have stopped airing spots on Beck’s show, such as Wal-Mart, have simply shifted their advertising dollars to other programming on the FOX News network, which has moved into the number two position for all cable networks. FOX News is number one in all cable news networks in prime time.”
“I have noticed that Major Garrett’s seat at the WH press conferences has been vacant for several days.”
He’s had H1N1
No takers probably because it takes a 'strong stomach' or 'weak mind' to sit through a Gibbs presser...
If all of the media would do their job and investigate the truth, we could clean this mess up pretty quickly. As long as the state run media is an accomplice, the country, which includes those buffoons, are screwed.
It certainly has, but doesn’t it make you wonder how they were not aware of something as glaringly obvious to the rest of us? how could such intelligent people, like Krauthammer, not have seen through him?
Absolutely!
This is but another attempt to delegitamize any criticism.
Only sycophants need apply; ringing any bells CBSABCNBCCNNPBSMSNBC?
Major Garrett has H1N1. I read somewhere that he got a pretty hard case of it.
BTW, did anyone hear Imus rip George Steph.? Imus said that the WH has already rescinded its order that no WH spokepersons appear on Fox. “Welcome to the IMUS program George.” It was classic. George was not amused.
In the last forty years, I have never known the Left to favor either freedom of speech or freedom of the press. They feign outrage to get people with opinions they disagree with to shut up. See MoveOn and their latest fakery directed at Fox News.
Yes, Gibbs licked his doorknobs

yep....BTW remember Ron Nieson, Nixon’s abrasive press secretary?...Hunter Thompson went to a WH briefing once and wondered aloud why reporters sucked up to Nieson...well if they didn’t suck up to him, he wouldn’t call on you....and if this started happening, after a while your boss would replace you for not doing your job.
During the election, Krauthammer was under Obama’s spell. He only turned away from him in the last days of the contest.
