Obama in Command: The Rolling Stone Interview (Obama: Fox News Destroying America)
Rolling Stone ^ | Tuesday, September 29, 2010 | Jann Wenner

What do you think of Fox News? Do you think it's a good institution for America and for democracy?

[Laughs] Look, as president, I swore to uphold the Constitution, and part of that Constitution is a free press. We've got a tradition in this country of a press that oftentimes is opinionated. The golden age of an objective press was a pretty narrow span of time in our history. Before that, you had folks like Hearst who used their newspapers very intentionally to promote their viewpoints. I think Fox is part of that tradition — it is part of the tradition that has a very clear, undeniable point of view. It's a point of view that I disagree with. It's a point of view that I think is ultimately destructive for the long-term growth of a country that has a vibrant middle class and is competitive in the world. But as an economic enterprise, it's been wildly successful. And I suspect that if you ask Mr. Murdoch what his number-one concern is, it's that Fox is very successful.

Obama needs to be impeached, tried for treason and brought to justice.

War is peace.

Ignorance is strength.

Islam is the religion of peace.

Boy...they sure like to give interviews to RS...you’d think after the General McChrystal article, RS would be the last place he’d do an interview.

“Diversity”, in the leftist definition, simply means fewer white and Asian people, and less traditional American culture.

Their working definition has nothing to do with a “good balance” of different viewpoints and cultures.

Reminds me of a promo that often plays on PBS World, where the host of one of their shows says, "America has the most the most diverse culture on the planet, so it's our aim to feature the most diverse people in America."

She then goes on to promote her show, which exclusively features Latinos. How's that for "diversity"?

Great photoshop of Obozo taking the oath, but why the Israeli flag pin on his lapel? I don’t get that.

I didn’t create it, so I’m not quite sure. If anything he’s been anti-Israel. He should have a Palestinian flag on there.

Someone upthread indicated that the jpeg came from an anti-Israel website. Agree about the Palestinian lapel pin. A star and crescent would work, as well.

I also noticed Condi Rice in the background. Another inconsistency.

He's also a liar in that Fox News always goes out of its way to pick a strong advocate of the liberal viewpoint to provide balance. The others will match one weak conservative with 3-4 liberals, or they will have no true conservative voice at all.

Exactly! MSNBC has "panels" of four socialists and NO conservative. Same with CNN and CNBC.

CNN lost 39% of its viewership in the past year alone!

That's because socialists are ignorant of all perspectives other than their own which they oh-so-righteously defend (most often without any dissenting voices present.)

It's like having Sally Quinn as a religious writer: what she knows of religion can be found entirely within the brain of gay Episcopal Bishop, Vicki Gene Robinson (a male). In short, all liberal all the time is not going to give perspective.

lol. Apparently sleeping with the boss has its reward.
