.....Speaking of Fox News, the poor, and the way GOP leaders think, Obama said, [W]ere going to have to change how our body politic thinks, which means were going to have to change how the media reports on these issues.
Here is the full transcript:
I think that the effort to suggest that the poor are sponges, leeches, dont want to work, are lazy, are undeserving, got traction. And look, its still being propagated. I have to say that if you watch Fox News on a regular basis, it is a constant venue. They will find folks who make me mad. I dont know where they find them. Theyre all like, I dont want to work. I just want a free Obama Phone, or whatever. And that becomes an entire narrative that gets worked up. And very rarely do you hear an interview of a waitress, which is much more typical who is raising a couple of kids and doing everything right but still cant pay the bills.
And so, if were going to change how Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) think, were going to have to change how our body politic thinks, which means were going to have to change how the media reports on these issues, and how peoples impressions of what its like to struggle in this economy looks like. And how budgets connect to that. And thats a hard process because that requires a much broader conversation than typically we have on the nightly news.

Time to go back to .6 of a vote.
And that’s being generous as it’s more than most of them contribute anyway.
The right to vote needs to be re-examined.
Moochers disenfranchised.
FCC rules on net neutrality are just the first step in his changing of the media.
Hey dumbass, we do (until you get rid of it, like you are with the rest of the bill of rights) have freedom of the press. We know you want to be Emperor Barak the first, but Americans (true non ILLEGALS) don’t want you in the white house.
“And so, if were going to change how Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) think. ..”
It those two had a set, they would respond to him in kind.
That was for people who were slaves.
That’s us, today, cracker.
Better to go back to real property ownership.
That is just the way I see it. Your mileage may vary.
Impeach? The Republicans are desperately trying to hand him more power.
I wonder how many news reporters and network CEOs will have to get horse heads in their beds? Probably not many.
What a pussy..
Why not just let them tell the true and un-biased “news” and let the public decide for themselves what is and is not?
Odumbo wants to change the rules so he and his ilk come out looking like the “saints” they are NOT.
Yep, more government control...seems Hitler did that same thing a few years back.
Funny...but sad. Barak don’t care about Hamas, ISIS or Putin, but he thinks Fox, Tea Party and conservatives are the threat. Cruz will think the opposite...
Given precedent I take this as an announcement that conteent control is in the works and will be implemented in stages beginning with the FTC taking control of and regulating the Internet and cable content. Actually he is announcing what has already begun.
True...
He is telling the world he is going after Fox News and radio talk and the Internet dissemination of incorrect information and views. A free utopia can’t have dissonance of viewpoint.
Yeah, but what are they going to do about Reality?
Reality is always dissonant with liberalism.
Obama does want news reported. He wants propaganda along Democrat Party lines, broadcast.
(OBAMA) YOU ARE A SOCIALIST
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every law you break
Every step you take
Makes you a socialist
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
Makes you a socialist
O can’t you see
You are a commie
How my poor heart aches with every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
Makes you a socialist
Since you’ve come our freedom’s lost without a trace
I dream at night, a nightmare, its your face
I look around and see the freedoms you’ve replaced
I feel so cold and I hope you’ll be replaced
I keep crying.... freedom, freedom please
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
Makes you a socialist
“””were going to have to change how the media reports””””
I’m pretty sure every dictator in history has said those same words.
EVERY media outlet should take this as a threat to their very existence.
But they won’t... only if someone like Cruz or Bush said it, then they’d have a fit.
