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.

Obama totally ignores that cable news is a 24 hour enterprise. No other media in history has had to fill that amount of time with information.

Therefore, they do news (Brett Baire, Shep Smith), commentary (O'Reilly, Hannity, etc.), business (Cavuto, crew, and network too) and even entertainment (Huckabee, Fox & Friends)

Obama is also a liar: not to acknowledget that all other news outlets are also doing the same thing is simply dishonest by ommission.

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.

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.

But they don't care. Balance is not in their vocabulary.

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.)

lol. Apparently sleeping with the boss has its reward.
