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.

That notion about the poor got traction because it`s true. We don`t see very many middle class crapping out babies for a living. Or rioting for toilet paper and that 60 inch plasma screen ‘social justice’ door prize.

“”how people’s impressions of what it’s like to struggle in this economy looks like.””

Like Joe the Plumber? He didn’t like what he had to say. Hard learner, isn’t he?

Watch FOX all day? I wonder who has that job in the WH....

I’m beginning to think people are overwhelmed and scared so they hunker down and hide...I have offered free food and drink to get people to talk to or about candidates or issues at our home....no one in my neighborhood seems to want to participate (and I pretty much invite only GOP voters)

That statement should send a chill down everyone’s spine. It’s something Goebbels would have said in 1933.

There’s ONE easy AND Constitutional solution: dismantle the (illegal) Welfare State.

Stop the (illegal) Takings and return the functions to the family/relatives/community/churches/charities/etc.

Let those entities, whom personally finance or are GIFTED the funds, determine the need and level of said benefits.

Charity does not come from robbing from the producers, at the point of a gun (while also violating numerous Amendments, if not the spirit of our founding), and giving to those whom will turn around and vote for those that keep their gravy-train running.

...‘WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO CHANGE HOW THE MEDIA REPORTS...

Especially since truth is the new hate speech.

we haven’t seen anything yet. If he is still alive when he leaves office it will go on for at least twenty more years.
