Why would he slam Fox News like a cry baby when he has 95% of the press on the verge of annointing him as the savior. This coming from a guy who gets standing ovations when he enters the White House Press Briefing Room and has NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, AND MSNBC squarely on his side. He claims Fox News is a devoted attacker of his administration. Perhaps half the country or the 48% who voted against him do not want this country going down the path of socialism and pacifism like we are seeing. I guess he never watched MSNBC and their vicious personal attacks against President Bush. IMO, There are way more important things to be addressing than a TV Network that appeals to half the country. Maybe it is because Fox News is kicking the living **** out of the competition in ratings and it is something Obama and his Czars cannot control. www.newkerala.com/nkfullnews-1-57440.html
Did the president lie about anything? He simply stated a truth about a particular news channel. Nothing to get upset about here. Maybe you're pissed he spent about 60 seconds talking about news coverage. It sounds like he was responding to a question. 60 seconds to answer a question. Really? He probably took a 2 minute dump today too. Hope he got something done on his Blackberry at the same time. You seem to be new to this rage-du-jour thing. Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it soon.
What criticism exactly does barry object to? any proof? Fox typically has a Pub and a Crat on whenever they have discussions. Plus they give time to any Dem who wants to come on, unlike ABC Here are some of the Dems who have been on since Barry came into office Biden. Both Clintons, Reid, Pelosi, Schumer, Sharpton,Kerry,Durbin, Frank, Dodd, Waters,Feinstein,Richardson, Lanny Davis, Kucinich,Carville,and regular hacks like Ferraro, Beckel adn that gravelly voiced woman who was Dukais manager. Obama has also appeared. Then there are the Hollywood Dems. like Whoopie and Garafalo, many of these Dems have appeared many times. Saying something doesn't make it so
That is pretty weak on Obama's part. It should be beneath the dignity of the Presidency to whine about media coverage.
He is trying to play the victim card. Anything to deflect responsibility away from himself. Poor little Barack Obama being picked on by big, bad Fox News. Unbelievable. Whining and responsibility shifting really tends to get on people's nerves after a while. The more he does this, the more people are going to see this behavior for what it is. When they do, they can be expected to react towards him in the typical manner. Except you would think that a President of the United States would know better than to act like this. That could make it worse for him.
"Really? Standing ovations? Could you please list the dates in which these standing ovations have occurred in the WH Press Briefing Room?" I saw the news report on TV. It showed clips of Bush entering the media room and all the reporters would stay in their seats, but then it showed Obama enter the news room and they would all stand. They did not cheer/clap but they at least showed the president respect by standing. These same reporters did not show Bush the same respect. Maybe that respect and lack there of reflects in the way they report. I cannot tell you which channel or when I saw this report. It was about a month to two months ago
Don't let actual clips of Fox News get in the way of your staunch defense of the network: Fox Loves Barack
Link to Video White House Press Corps giving the Prez a standing "O", (before dropping back to their knees).
Obama has only spoken to the media once in the White House Press Briefing Room and the media members stood for 10 seconds and then sat down. No applause. It was an unscheduled event and not expected or announced, I can understand the standing, as the President appearing at a WH daily press briefing is fairly rare. hardly "standing ovations in the White House Press Briefing Room." So many liberties taken on this board.
Incidentally, a google search for the words "Please be seated" at Bush press conferences turns up many instances in which the press stood for Bush: The Link
I don't think a difference in standing vs. seating, compares to a 24 hour network barrage of hate that is Fox News. We have clips of both- you give me the comparison clip of the 2 press conferences, I can give you link after link of Fox News garbage
Would you be so kind as to use your massive google skillz to provide us with some links of press garbage from the past eight years? But that one, (ONE!) news outlet doesn't immediately kowtow has you tied in knots. Sheesh! TIA
Mcbrett Nicely done. That was hilarious. Oh NO Obama's middle name is Hussein, such a criticism and he smokes. the horror! AND, Gasp, he went to school in a muslim country. Yep Fox certainly has criticized Obama. thanks for exposing this
Don't forget that called him Muslim, and didn't retract this.. Horn, really, it's a 24 hour network with a 24 hour bias. If I felt like googling for you all day, which I don't, I can post a lot more clips. If you want to claim Fox has no major bias towards one political agenda- I think that's more telling of your beliefs than it is of Fox "News"
6721, are you saying that you don't think Fox news is anti-Obama? IMO, that's entering troll territory. Not even the OP was making that claim.
Alden Fox has some shows that are decidely anti Obama POLICIES absolutely true, hannity is the worst and Obama mentions Sean so many times I know Berry lets it get to him. and some shows that call his policies into question but do schedule people who explain and defend obama policies and some that are as down the middle as any on TV. as far as that liz trota, I never heard of her but that was a really really sick thing to say. No one on TV should even in a joking way call for a public figure to get killed Did she get fired?
When the POTUS starts singling out entertainers and news channels, because they disagree w/ him, he's acting like a lil b**ch..He's running one of the most powerful countries in the world, dealing w/ nut cases in NK and Iran, among others, and he's worried about this ****..
