OBAMA RIPS FOX: ‘WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO CHANGE HOW THE MEDIA REPORTS
Brietbart ^ | 5/12/15 | John Nolte

Posted on 05/13/2015 4:24:20 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

.....Speaking of Fox News, the poor, and the way GOP leaders think, Obama said, [W]e’re going to have to change how our body politic thinks, which means we’re 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, don’t want to work, are lazy, are undeserving, got traction. And look, it’s 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 don’t know where they find them. They’re all like, “I don’t 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 can’t pay the bills.

And so, if we’re going to change how Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) think, we’re going to have to change how our body politic thinks, which means we’re going to have to change how the media reports on these issues, and how people’s impressions of what it’s like to struggle in this economy looks like. And how budgets connect to that. And that’s 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.

When you use the media like a tool so thoroughly to the extent Obama and his minions have, and an opposing view point still persists, it is human nature to assume your opponent is also using the media like a tool to maintain that opposing position. Only someone with an intellect capable of self-analysis and third-person perspective could review the environment and realize the opposing viewpoint persists because of the nugget of truth it contains.

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.

More attention should be or should have been given to her statement, "Congress [members of] will not be a problem". I have read the little talk she gave many times. However until a poster whose screen name I cannot recall enlightened me, it went over my head. But , to me, that was the money statement. Why? Because it is now being played out. Congress is not a problem. Those whom they deemed to be a problem have either been silenced or neutralized.

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.

Any media outlet can lie about any politician and still have protections. But say anything
negative about the KingChild and there will be hell to pay.

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.

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

“””we’re 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.
