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."

...Brett Beir does a good job at Special Report. He comes off as more objective than Brit Hume, who can do the editorial now.

I love them both. I always like to remember the look Bill Clinton gave Brit Hume after Hume had asked a very good question.

RE :”I love them both. I always like to remember the look Bill Clinton gave Brit Hume after Hume had asked a very good question. “

That was when Britt Hume was at ABC. I think when Clinton yelled at him because he asked something about Hillary . “How dare you question us?”

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."

What will the joint chiefs of staff going to do when he orders that the nuclear foot ball be brought to him and he just starts sending those nuclear codes to their respective places and launches a few nukes for no good reason ?

FOX News is destructive to his plans for selling out the nation, ripping up the Constitution and derailing his designs for a planned and regulated society.

You expect despicable nonsense like this from Obama as pro-forma. But still, this moves me to disgust.
