Is Obama launching a new fall attack on Fox News?
The Baltimore Sun ^ | September 28, 2010 | David Zurawik

Last year at this time, President Obama and his top White House advisers were about to launch a disastrous campaign against Fox News.

I say disastrous because the acting communications director, Anita Dunn, who sounded the call to arms on Howard Kurtz's "Reliable Sources" show would resign within weeks, and the president and his innermost circle after going on every major non-Fox news show to attack the highest-rated cable news channel as "not really being a news channel," were in full retreat.

While tooling around on the highway the other day, a really big, juicy butterfly launched an attack on my windshield.

It will only show them for what they are... Sometimes I think that the people hired by Obama are so far out of the mainstream that they actually think that they are the mainstream. Just how out of it do you have to be to think that...

The corrupt Obama Regime has no credibility, even among its own rapidly vanishing troops.

Fox has nothing to fear.

Obama will be gone before Fox News is.

Barry can't boast on his record so he blames the media.

What a loser.

He doesn’t really learn, does he.

Sort of like Bart and the Hamster.
People watch Fox. People like Fox. And it’s unseemly for a President to lose it over a news channel.

The only people that this will please are people that are so far left that they would rather live under tyranny than give an inch to an opposing political view. Sort of like the nuts at DU that side with religious fanatics keeping their women in burqa bags simply because they hate “fundies”.

New fall attack, same as the old fall attack. I guess with all the “brilliant” strategists leaving the WH, they will be reheating some old leftovers to fight back. Good luck with that Obummer. How did that Boehner attack work out?

Someone get the popcorn and beer.
It should be fun to watch the pathetic little man child
cry over the big bad FOX, while the likes of PMSNBC and CNN
swoon and grovel at his feat, and Chrissy child crawls up his leg.

Hilarious stuff!
ABC NBC CBS CNN NYTIMES, etc., have been arms of the Democrat party for decades and now that somebody comes along with a mainstream point of view (= truth) they squeal like stuck pigs! How cool is that? And how stupid is this p.o.s. Ubama to bait Fox News?

Fox has far more power, integrity and competence than Obama will ever have.

Obama is a complete failure and he needs to move on.

The sad part about this is that Fox has given Obama a fair shake.

Liberals simply look down on anyone not sharing their world view as sub-human and therefore are undeserving of a voice in the media.

I’m happy to see that Zero is trying the attack the messenger strategy to get his limp-wristed base motivated in November.

Democrats are definitely desperate this election cycle. You’ve got Pomeroy claiming he worked with George Bush in his ads and now Zero’s trying Bill Clinton the marginalize Fox News strategy.

People won’t buy into the right wing conspiracy argument if they can’t afford to buy much more than the bare necessities in life. As Bubba’s handlers once said, “it’s the economy stupid” and Obama’s policies have done nothing to fix it.

Hive mind echo chambers will do that. Less than 10% of the Obama Administration has ever had any job outside of government.

The Obama Administration attacking Fox New is kinda like shooting spitballs at a battleship.

Obama Administration attacking Fox New is kinda like the High School nerds & know-nothings attacking the prettiest cheerleader, smartest and most popular girl in the school.
Did these Obama tools ever get out of H.S.?

Just a rhetorical question;

So how would the media have handled it if GW started outwardly slamming say NBC or even MSNBC on a regular basis in the same retort?
