Obama Boycotts Fox News, Sets Tuesday NYC Interviews With ABC, CBS, NBC
Monday, March 28, 2011 | Kristinn

Barack Obama has apparently set a new administration boycott of Fox News with this week's twice snubs of the news network.

On Sunday, the administration sent the duo of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates to the Sunday morning talk shows of ABC, CBS and NBC. Fox was excluded even though, as anchor Chris Wallace noted, the Fox show has more viewers than two of its three rivals.

Monday evening, CBS News White House reporter Mark Knoller posted on Twitter that Obama will be in New York City tomorrow for two Democrat fundraisers, the dedication of the U.S. Mission to the U.N. in the name of the late Clinton administration Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown and a round of network TV interviews.

Knoller reports that Obama will "(sit) for interviews with ABC, CBS & NBC." Unmentioned by Knoller but notably missing is Fox News.

If they start pandering to Obomba every time he opens his mouth,

I only hope they stop, I watch FNC only and a day doesn't go by that I don't see that face.

Just more evidence of who’s pulling the strings of the obama puppet. Media Matters is in all out guerrilla war against Fox, and “President” obama shows who his master is with this idiotic behavior.

Isn’t it interesting that Soros and his group just stated they were going to do a smear and attack campaign against Fox?
No, there’s no collusion here between Soros and Obama. / sarc in case those reading along don’t get it.

O'Bunghole is such a snotty, petty punk bayotch. He has no class, no dignity, and no idea of what it takes to be a president. It's like watching a conceited, spoiled frat-boy pretending to be president. What a ghetto-stank bone thug.

He will go down as the worst president in our entire history. I love it. His legacy... epic failure, followed by the fumigation of the White House!

8^D

0bama’s smart - he realizes his ratings on Fox would be too embarassing.

Exactly. Everytime Obama schedules with the other networks and shuns FOX, they should havce The Donald on to talk about the complete lack of aby available historical records for Zero (including a BC).

Heck based on actual records (or the lack thereof), the TV show “V” might be the closest thing to an accurate autobiography for Zero.

He was promised an easy ride by Soros. Just read the teleprompter, attend dinners, music events, golfing and vacations galore. Leave the rest to “them”. That’s the measurement of respect he has for the Presidency. He couldn’t care less.

What looks like failure to us, is success to him in bringing America down a few notches.

I guess you aren’t familiar with Bill O’Reilly, or Shepard Smith.

Sadly, I’m too familiar with those two. I make sure to change the channel before they get my humble little self as a rating. However, if FOX falls to its knees in front of O, there will be no National News outlet even remotely watchable for Conservatives and sane people.

I used to keep FOX in my ear 24/7 but not anymore. I must admit, that for breaking news and live broadcasts from disaster sites and such, CNN has them beat all to pieces.

Stupid FOX should quit showing his stupid speeches and waxing sweet on him. They would be far wiser to show infomercials about the shamwow or the slap chop.

Two can play the Obama game.

FOX News should be grateful. In many places around the country, as soon as “the president who never was” appears on TV screens, the channel is changed. More and more people are sick of his face, his voice, his upraised nose and his smugness.

Fortunately, by all appearances, he is turning into a burnout. Sick of the job, himself tired of being nattered at from all directions, never being able to relax, and his agenda is pretty much over, so it’s all downhill from here.

On behalf of all FOX viewers, may I say, Thank You, Lord.

Just to be clear, I am not thanking Ubama.

“Mr. President, let me say first, your speech Monday was a real home-run! Now please tell us—a hard question, but we have to know: how did you become so wonderful?”
ABC, CBS & NBC lick-spittles

Tough Tukus - if they can’t talk with him, they can talk about him. I don’t want to see him anyway.

We can label him ‘wussybama’, not because he fears Fox News, but because he fears his boss soros, who probably forbids obama from cavorting with them.
