Fox News is "operating basically as talk radio," President Obama suggested in an interview airing today.
After weeks of public feuding between the cable news channel and the president's top aides, Obama seemed to agree with statements by his advisers that Fox is not a real "news station."
"I think what our advisers have simply said is that we are going to take media as it comes," Obama told NBC's Savannah Guthrie. "And if media is operating basically as a talk radio format then that's one thing, and if it's operating as a news outlet that's another but it's not something I'm losing sleep over."
White House Senior Adviser David Axelrod said this weekend that Fox is "not really a news station." That echoies similar comments made by White House Communications Director Anita Dunn and White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.
...and most people are figuring that out very quickly.
Oh...then if that’s his standard, I guess he’ll ignore MSNBC too.....and CNN, and ABCNBCCBS.
This is all beyond amazing, the President of the US is more concerned with Fox News than all the problems he needs to be working on solving. This is sick! The man is a child.
He’s right. Fox News, like talk radio, is worth listening to.
I am trying to mark these ‘FNC’
“Obama suggests Fox News is like ‘talk radio’”
#####
I’m sure Obamative Action means “conservative” talk radio.
In that case, good for Fox!
By definition, that means that Fox is pro-American, politically incorrect, and telling the truth.
This is sick! The man is a child.

The libs could not have picked a worse candidate. IMHO, he is there to serve as Manchurian Candidate for Soros, et al -— the REAL owners of the DemonRat party.
They are way out of their league. They act like the spoiled little brat who is stymied by the world outside his home-perimeter that doesn't reward his temper tantrums - heck, not even scared by them.
OBAMA HUSSEIN HATES THE TRUTH!!!!
HITLER HATED THE TRUTH!!!
SADDAM HUSSEIN HATED THE TRUTH!!
QUADDAFFI HATES THE TRUTH!!!
CASTRO HATES THE TRUTH!!!
CHAIRMAN MAO HATED THE TRUTH!!
STALIN HATED THE TRUTH!!!
HUGO CHAVEZ HATES THE TRUTH!!!
ETC., ETC., ETC.!
LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A COMMON DENOMINATOR HERE!! DONT WE??
Look, Barry. I KNOW you are reading this. Get busy with making a decision on Afghanistan. Really. You are looking ridiculous.
FNC lives in “commander zero’s” head, rent free, right next to El Rushbo.
Talk radio hosts survive and thrive if they have a program that the public likes. It's the one outlet that is in tune with what a large part of the population thinks. Obama once again shows his hand as part of the Daily Kos/DU/MSNBC/MoveOn, etc., crowd, with his contempt for talk radio...or for any dissenting views.
Whatever happened to "speak truth to power"? Used to hear that all the time.
Barry OBOZO is being eaten alive by the TRUTH that he is finding He CAN’T HIDE!! El RUSHBO and FNC are Tearing Him Apart Limb by Limb!! In Chicago, they would be squashed like Bugs!! But We arent Stupid like the Average Chicago Dingbat! No Wonder OBOZO LOVES PMSNBC! CNN! ABC! CBS! and NBC!!They are No Different than SPITZER’S WHORES!!
And both are acting like pre-Revolutionary War pamphleteers as a source of "Common Sense" that the Obama and his MSM do not want us to hear.
And has millions of daily viewers
And dominates the competition
And is highly profitable on its own
Think of Senator Kerry of Massachusetts, Rahm Emmanuel of Illinois, or Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco - their forays into the national spotlight always reveal more than they care others to see, that is, others outside of the worshipful little audiences over which they are used to presiding.
If his FCC Czar asks for 40,000 troops to restore “balance” to the media- Barry will send them
That's why this is all you can talk about, suuuuuuure.
Does Fox News give Obama a "thrill up the leg"?
