Obama’s Real Problem? Fox News!
Flopping Aces ^ | 03-08-10 | Curt

These people just don't get it:

"Obama's big problem," a senior Democrat told me, "is that four times as many people watch Fox News as watch CNN." The Fox network is a remarkable cultural phenomenon which almost shocks those of us from a country where a technical rule of impartiality is applied in the broadcast media. With little rest, it pours out rage 24 hours a day: its message is of the construction of the socialist state, the hijacking of America by "progressives" who now dominate institutions, the indoctrination of children, the undermining of religion and the expropriation of public money for these nefarious projects. The public loves it, and it is manifestly stirring up political activism against Mr Obama, and also against those in the Republican Party who are not deemed conservatives. However, it is arguable whether the now-reorganising Right is half as effective in its assault on the President as some of Mr Obama's own party are.

So let me see. Deficit being raised to astronomical levels, unemployment high and getting higher, housing market down in the dumps, pushing a bill that nobody wants, reading terrorists Miranda rights, putting those same terrorists on trial in the United States, closing gitmo, and making government into some socialist state to control every aspect of a person's life.

That's not his BIG PROBLEM.

I thought Mr Rush Limbaugh was President Obama’s real problem??

Or is Tea Party supporters???

Or maybe it’s Sarah Palin???

Oh, you poor, ignorant clinger, the biggest problem is that you are a racist.

FoxNews does not do that. What they do do is allow both points of view to be heard and it makes the liberals look exactly like the lunatics they truly are!

Four times as many watch Fox News?

Try ten times as many in some time slots at times.

>> Leftist: “With little rest, it pours out rage 24 hours a day”

The adversary is especially scary when it classifies one’s norm as rage.

Actually my biggest problem with Fox News is that in an attempt to be Fair and Balanced they will put some screaming Lib on who is so shrill and ridiculous it makes my head want to explode.

Then at other times they will put on Democrats who, although I won’t agree with them, don’t strike me as raving lunatics
(Juan Williams, Doug Schoen, etc.)

This senior Dem thinks FNC pours out rage? Give me fifteen minutes of air time and he'll really see rage!

Please standby, we are experiencing technical difficulties.

And the truth is Obamas’ problem. Dishonest people fear the truth.

But Barack went on record saying that “Fox is not a real news channel” - EPIC FAIL!

There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.

Why bare these various moonbats so angry? I think if they had their asses kicked that might help them a bit (figuratively, of course). Such asshats shouldn’t be bothering us in the 21st century. Civilization has moved beyond their bilge.
