Obama: Fox Not A 'News Outlet'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/22/2009 5:22:25 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

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.

I’ve been corrected that tyrants just shut down stations that don’t adhere to thier dictates. I still think he and his admin are tyrants.

Hopefully this will be brought to the attention of someone at FNC.

Obummer's not a president, he's a dirty, rotten traitorous muslim phony.

I begrudge this nation destroying creep even the toilet paper he uses.

1. Obama is not a real citizen.
2. Obama is not our President.

Two can play that game Mr. Gazoo.

It is so pathetic that the Radical Leftists have control of our government with great assistance from ABC,NBC,CBS,CNN,WashPost,NyTimes, NPR,,,,etc. and they whine like a bunch of school girls about one media outlet.

They truely have a deep-seated desire for total control.

Incorrect. Tyrants shut down the opposition with force. He hasn't.... and now he really CAN'T.

Off topic, but have their been any indications that his "National Security Force" is in training yet?

The Marxist Thug is comparing Fox to Communist news programs.

Thats like comparing Kenyans to Americans.

Didn’t it become a mini-scandal there for awhile? (I know - it’s so hard to keep track of all of them!)

I seem to remember even Helen Thomas got worked up over it.
Come to think of it....that’s the last time I remember reading about Helen Thomas.
She was stomping mad.
I wonder what they did to her to get her to shut up?

Obama is the Hugo Chavez of American politics... Thankfully though, he can’t shut down Fox news like Hugo has shut down the opposition in his country.

Picking a fight with the most watched news station in America was a real dumb mistake, and more importantly, it’ll be the gift that keeps on giving.

Keep on truckling to Obama, MSM employees. Ignore Obama’s attacks on Fox and the free press, you’re nothing more than skid marks on Journalism’s shorts.

Real news from that real news outlet, MSNBC. It looked like a Monty Python skit...

Guess what, Hussein? You’re not a real president, just a common, ordinary, run-of-the-mill snake oil salesman. (No offence meant to other snake oil salesmen.)

...resorting to the old dodge about "the American people" being more interested in jobs and the situation in Afghanistan.

So why is he wasting time on this dopey interview instead of finalizing his new "strategy" on Afghanistan and sending more troops (or not)??

The next logical question [NOT asked] was “What are you saying about the people who watch FOX News?”
