Obama: Fox News is 'destructive' to America By: CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
(CNN) - President Obama is pulling no punches when it comes to Fox News, declaring the cable news outlet to be "destructive to [America's] long-term growth."
In a more than 8,000-word interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, Obama compared the cable news channel to papers owned by William Randolph Hearst at the turn of the 20th century that unabashedly pushed the media titan's own political views.
"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," Obama told the magazine.
Officials in the Obama White House have long made Fox News a punching bag, launching a full blown offensive last year when aides declared the network to be "opinion journalism masquerading as news." Then-White House Communications Director Anita Dunn said the cable outlet "operates almost as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party," and top aide Valerie Jarret called Fox "clearly biased."

True but it won’t stop him from his blame game,it’s them not me not me not me.
Excuse me, McChrystal CHOSE the Commie Rolling Stone rag. This general is a very conflicted man and was not fit to command Amercan soldiers at war.
If he was attempting to send a message of some kind to Constitutionist Americans why would he choose Rolling Stone Magazine? Frankly, it’s not clear to me what he was trying to do. But whatever his whining was meant to achieve, it only got him fired. No where in that article did McChrystal criticize the ROE in Afghanistan or the Usurping Onada’s surrender agenda for that country.
One possibility is that he was setting himself up for a position in a Hillary administration—if she won. If this is so, the man has (once again) chosen the losing side.
McChrystal is a loon much like McCain has become.
Holy carp ping!
Speechless (just how Barry likes us)..
I like your analogy
LOLOLOL!
Obama, if examined, would be found to be certifiably insane....in the middle of reading Crimes Against Liberty...oooh boy. He is the most dangerous person in the world today. Failure is NOT an option in the midterms, otherwise we are all doomed....Obama needs to be locked up in a cage away from humanity. Next on my list is Dinesh D’Souza’s book The Roots of Obama’s Rage. This stuff is chilling and beyond scary that this POS is a president.
hilarious considering the rest of the tv media
continued....
NICE WORK!!! And SO true!
I believe he is now going for The Bill Clinton Award....as the most arrogant, narcissistic, biggest bullshysting con man in America.
No wonder Clinton is looking so bad these days....he never thought he'd ever have to share the stage with anyone his contemptuous equal.
What’s the over/under on the use of “I” and “me” in the interview.
$5 says it’s more than 300.
Barry is beginning to decompensate in public.
His behavior in private must really be very troubling .
I bet that after he leaves office , they’ll be a slew of books revealing how terribly disturbed this guy really was.
And everybody in DC knew it, especially the media.
He alternates from bizarre and paranoid rantings to sounding medicated ( legally or illegally ) in interviews .
His energy level was so low in one clip I recently heard
on the radio ,
that I didn’t even realize that it was Barry at first.
Something is definitely wrong with this guy-besides the obvious.
FoxNews stays. Fox & Friends makes me laugh in the morning, and Special Report almost always has a funny thing at the end of the show.
I don't yell at the TV when I'm watching FoxNews the way I do when watching CNN.
I like Neil Cavuto the best, I DVR it since I am at work 4 pm EST. Megyn Kelly America live is #2. Brett Beir does a good job at Special Report. He comes off as more objective than Britt Hume, who can do the editorial now.
