WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama has reopened a long-running feud with Fox News Channel, branding the conservative U.S. cable network as "ultimately destructive for the long-term growth" of the United States.
In an interview published Tuesday by Rolling Stone magazine, Obama took specific aim at Fox's Australian-born chairman and chief executive, accusing Rupert Murdoch of being more concerned about generating profits than promoting an agenda to improve America's well-being.
The U.S. president likened Murdoch to William Randolph Hearst, the newspaper baron whose sensational publications produced the term 'yellow' journalism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

O’Really will have enough material for the next five weeks over this statement. O’Really will be sooo into himself and will spin this as he made a difference in the mid-terms.
O’Bambi is poking the wrong cable in the eye. Look at viewership and all he did was fire up the conservative base..more.
Overbite, Madcow and Sgt. Shultz will try and have a field day with this. I’m watching these loons tonight just for their reaction.
Listening to O’bama is embarrasing as an American.
“ultimately destructive for the long-term growth” of the United States”
he is confusing himself with the country. A common mistake of would-be tyrants.
The only destruction being done to this country is being perpetrated by Obama and the other Rats.
“This is pathetic. I have never seen a more whining, petty, pitiful excuse for a leader than we have now.”
Call in the WAAAmbulance. The good news is, that he lends what little credibility and stature that he has to his detractors with statements like these.
I wonder what Obama’s “Enemies “List” looks like. It must take up a lot of disk space...all of these nasty, petty people having the nerve to complain about the destruction of what they and their parents have worked for and their way of life for them and their children.
Whaaa??? Blaming the economic situation on a news station??? Thats a new low...
**************************
Free speech as the enemy. This homunculous is a walking cliche of antiquated leftist drivel.
Yep you got it.... he is sowing the seeds... Fox is the cause of economic problems we must shut them down for the good of the country...
I am telling you Castro and Chavez have nothing on this Obama, he is one shrewd Communist.
What’s the O stand for? I got the FUB part. It’s similiar to FUBAR. But I don’t know the O part.
Obama-his last name.
Obummer says Fox News ‘instructive’ for U.S. growth
Fox news cannot raise your taxes,raise health insurance premiums,take away your health care,your light bulbs,your toilet,your house,Change your traditions,or change your History,force you to pay for the slaughter of innocent babies with your tax dollars,spend the country into Bankruptcy and say it is everybody elses fault dont look at me.
Well, every day he is sinking deeper and deeper into his own s—t. He has been throwing his BS at us since before his election. Now, he is sinking deeper into it every day. Just waiting around for his head to disappear into it.
It is a NEWS CHANNEL ... WTF is this about promoting an agenda??? VERY revealing.
Absolutely revealing!
He wants a media that will speak in lockstep with his democrat daily talking points. He wants the media to parrot his words. He wants a media that speaks in unison against the will of the American people. He wants a media who’s intention is to make conservatives feel like outcasts, so that they will succumb to the will of his fascist/communist government.
He’s got NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, the NYT, and the AP carrying his water. But, he’s mad because Fox won’t do the same.
True... I should have said the mainstream Americans don’t want.... I agree with you... this is nothing more then a shell game it was very evident when BP was helping the U.S. government sell its Cap and Tax agenda. I am still holding out hope that America really is a nation of the people and that before our freedoms are completely taken away we still have a chance to stand up and do something about it....
Obama is destructive to US growth!!
He is one half black and one half white = by the way, I hate the black half also.
It’s more than that, though ... I think this was an unguarded moment just like the “bitter clingers” or Joe the Plumber slips. It is what he truly believes is the role of the media. It’s all ends justify the means. Extremely dangerous.
