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.

Even before recorded times, there have been many marked with evil, claiming that they are the holder of knowledge, yet they are marked as the beast being natural born sneaks cheats and liars. In modern times mankind has seen many that profess the fault of others, yet they should remove the beam within their eye, before they protest too much. Contemporary individuals with a simple education and common sense even realize those of the political class and “Friends of Government” only complain and grumble when they are not being adored, getting their way or paid tribute.

Remember that corny song by Olivia Newton-John?

I love you
I honestly love you

[http://www.romantic-lyrics.com/li54.shtml]

It should be “The Official Tune of the Obama Media” or “Tunes for bo-gasms.”

(Hated that song then, hate it now.)

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.

Most of those are losing following to Fox News and that has zero very worried. The more people who hear the truth, the lower his approval gets.

yes - that’s it!

And really - what has Helen done since then?

The Bushies faced Helen head-on like real grown up adults.

Wonder what she thinks about her wonder boy whining and crying all the time.

People.....as Beck and Morris said last evening, this Fox fight is a sleight of hand, a distraction, a misdirection from Obamacare, Cap'n Trade and Arfghanistan.

Remember, as Rush states almost EVERY day, Obama DOES NOT CARE what you think about his attack on a media outlet....or on anything, for that matter!

He and his gurus are willing to absorb one big hit in order to inflict two or three big hits on WE THE PEOPLE. WE are the enemy! All tactics are being employed. This is but one.

This calculated Fox brouhaha distraction is WORKING for him!

The always-cuckolded O'Reilly spent half his show on Obama's Fox attack last night.....and is doing so every night.

Amazing this joker has more time to put his mug on TV, but no time to make a decision on Afghanistan.

He ought to do one honorable thing in his life and resign this office for which he is not qualified.

I think BO bowed down to the Huffington Post at that presser....but I may be wrong.

Both Morris and Beck said yesterday that the Fox fight is a calculated method of distraction by Obama's Machiavellian advisors, Rahm-Rod and A-Rod.

Then Leni, let us both march the troops toward the true battle.

All who are concerned about this issue: It is a fake issue. Concentrate your efforts and your troop-direction to Health Care, Cap and Trade, and Afghanistan.

The real meaning of the statement is “Fox is not a propaganda outlet”.

That makes them even then. obama is, in my opinion, not a real president.

Also, in my opinion, he is a liar and fraud, just like his father, Satan.

And as time goes by, we will hear and see a lot more from him. None of it will be good.

“Pres. Obama has described Fox News as “operating basically as a talk-radio format” rather than as a “news outlet.”

I describe Obama as operating basically as a traitor and puppet to the lunatic left wing and globalists rather than as the President of the United States. Impeach this clown.

Fox is not newspeak. We should only listen to words approved by the state. The recession is over. Banks are all healthy. Go out and buy things you do not need.

Dang. Think I am finally starting to understand that 1984 movie.

Absolutely right, Leni. Obama doesn’t even care if he gets reelected (and has said so). His goal is the destruction of this country.

This is just another tool to distract people from looking at what I actually think is the big issue and that is Cap and Trade. Even Obamacare is being used to distract from the movement forward of that awful bill, which will absolutely sink our economy and leave us as money suppliers to the leftists in the Third World.

Obama is quite happy to see us all enraged about Fox, because we are then not paying attention. PLEASE GO READ THE BILL THAT PASSED THE HOUSE IN AUGUST. I did, and let me tell you all it’s a nightmare of extra bureaucracies, instrusive home inspectors, rules for everything from lightbulbs to refrigerators, payoffs to GE through promoting certain types of appliances and energy, and massive taxes on all of us.

I cannot emphasize how important it is. This morning on the radio I heard an ad from a new group with is composed of supposed Iraq war veterans who want Cap and Trade passed so that we will not have to go to war for oil! In other words, Cap and Trade is being advertised as patriotic and promoting national security!

Everyone needs to read that bill. It made my hair stand on end. And while it is lurking somewhere in Congress, we re being distracted by health care, Fox News, and whether Obama will ever make a decision about Afghanistan. ( On Afghanistan, the answer is, no, he will keep delaying until we are in a terrible situation militarily, and then bring the troops home because it is “an unwinnable situation the previous administration put us in.”)

Done ranting, but everyone find that bill and read it. I can’t find the link or I would post it here.

The Demotheives got that from Olbermann, who stole it from *me*, describing PMSDNC. Pitiuful ain’t it, how the Dems are so maorally and intellectually bankrupt that they even have to steal their attacks and insults from others, to prop up their Eminence Front party, and their Barry Illegitimate titular head? You know who I’m talking about! The one who when 400 of the members of the graduating class of the University he supposedly went to, have absolutely no recollection of Barry soretoro/Barack Obama. No one ever remembers him being on campus, No one remembrs him being in any of their classes, No one remembers meeting him there..and the shcoll refuses to release his records....

They cannot release what they don't have, what 0 did not earn. The only "proof" we have that 0 earned that degree/attended the university is his say-so and we know how credible THAT is.

Perhaps all Republicans should boycott MSNBC, as it’s not really a news channel anymore, just a cesspool of LibPerv stank, and it’s freak show line up. Abuse and lies is all Republicans ever get from that TV version of Fart America.

All Republican Politicians, all Republicans period, should refuse to go on, or be interviewed by MSNBC. They are not really a news organisation any more, and going on their Stank Freak show lineup is just an excercise in getting abused. No good can come from being on their vituperative propaganda channel. Note the dates. It well preceds the White house attack, and it even precedes Olberbuttmunch the Lying Thiefs attack on FNC:

Armey made a mistake when he agreed to ggo on air with *any* of the MSNBC freak pig perverts. As did Grassley when he did a phone interview this morning with that Demon Rattyman.

All Republicans should refuse to be interviewd by anyone from MSNBC. They are no longer a news channel, if you ever thought they were. They are frothing at the mouth lying DemoScum propagandists, and no good can come from consorting with them...various forms of STDs...but no good.;
