Obama: Fox Not A 'News Outlet'

Pres. Obama has described Fox News as "operating basically as a talk-radio format" rather than as a "news outlet."
When NBC's Savannah Guthrie raised [in a segment of her extended interview of the president aired on Today this morning] the issue of White House attacks on Fox News, PBO first tried to play the statesman, resorting to the old dodge about "the American people" being more interested in jobs and the situation in Afghanistan.
But when politely pressed on the issue, PBO didn't hesitate to fustigate Fox.

Obama operates more like talk radio than a “news outlet” ping to Today show list.

Obama might have a point. A real news outlet would be to the right of Fox. Fox is the closest thing going right now though.

Obama, you're labeling my Fox News program as not a news outlet? Huh? What is wrong with your nutty head? How dare you call my Fox News not a news outlet! My News Corporation still makes a lot of cash. You don't.

Obama is being exposed for the communist leftist he is and Fox is exposing him and having a huge impact on his approval ratings and will be a big hindrance in getting his agenda.
Fox is public enemy #1. Fox should take it as a badge of honor. Obama looks so weak by opening up this fight.

Obama operates more like wuss. This is getting old a couple of months ago.

And CNN interviews fake commerce deprtment officials.
There seems to be a pattern developing.
Fake reporters showing up at Joe Arpio press conferences. Fake commerce department officials giving interviews, and fake Sarah Palin biographies showing up in time for her book release.

OMG! After all the good advice Obama has gotten, he is KEEPING THE FIGHT ALIVE! Does everyone realize that this:
- Insulates Fox from censorship, ever,
- Increases the nation's interest in Fox,
- Makes Obama look like the amateur he is -- and in fact makes Obama look rather Nixon-esque,
- And is a fight he can NEVER WIN....
