Subject: Obama and Fox
Been hearing, reading and thinking a lot about the Obama admin and it's declaration that Fox News is not news.
So, it is now the right of the President to determine what is and isn't a news organization? How far is that from them having approval on which stories we do and do not hear. Rahm Emanuel even threw in a bit about how stories from Fox were not worth following. Fox leans to the right, especially on opinion shows, but the attempt to totally discredit the entire organization should make everyone nervous, most especially other (state approved) news organizations who better watch their step or they too will be on the enemies list.
So what we have is a President who chooses to fight Fox News and Rush Limbaugh, but cannot decide what to do about Afghanistan.
We are in so much trouble.

You'd better watch out, Jeannine. I'm sure they're watching YOU! :P
It's all insanity. I just pray every night that he doesn't fuck up the country TOO much until he gets the heck out.

I really hate any Third Reich references.... we are too smart to ever go that far -- Jeannine, 10:49:05 10/22/09 Thu [1]
but the implications of government suppressing the press are very scary.
Bush was supposed to be oh so stupid... well, he wasn't stupid enough to do something like this. Many people that voted for Obama watch Fox News. Did the administration forget that?

"but the implications of government suppressing the press are very scary."
guess what i saw on the news today? video from a military funeral!
wow! haven't seen a flag draped casket in print or video media, (besides the ONE that was *leaked* during the bush admin.) in what, like 8 1/2 years now!
C'mon Jeannine, you're a smart lady. You know that President Obama is a master media manipulator. We've all know that since he announced his candidacy. Do you think he really gives a fuck what Glenn Beck is saying?
bwahhahhaaa....
smoke and mirrors, hon, smoke and mirrors to distract you from the transparency.
Just to distract you from his dithering.
Dithering... lol... HOgart musta watched Dick Cheney last weekend on c-span. i did too.. lol... aieeee carumba. i also watch Fox News.
love throwing spit wads at Glenn Beck.
hey, i'm not stupid either! don't wanna damage my tv throwing a shoe!
i know Americans are dieing in Afghanistan while the President is dithering. but I hope he is taking advice from all sides and coming up with a plan, a strategy that will work and end the trouble.
i hope and pray.

It's not that he can't decide what to do about Afghanistan, it's that he can't decide whether or not to decide about Afghanistan. He's taken dithering over life and death decisions to a whole new level. This should surprise precisely no one. Remember his Senate career? It was defined by the number of times he voted 'present' rather than take a stand on anything. Remember his mealy-mouthed answer about abortion? "Above my pay grade."
It should also surprise exactly no one that he would lower the status of the Presidency by fighting with Fox, Rush, or Beck. He lowered the status of his candidacy by running against an incumbent that wasn't even constitutionally qualified to run and a little woman from Alaska that was running for VP.
He's a tiny little thin-skinned man. This has been obvious during his entire political career. He won office in Chicago by shafting people that trusted him and by having private personal facts released by a complicit media to remove people that were threats to him.

What amazes me is ... -- muppetmel, 12:11:43 10/22/09 Thu [1]
... that Fox gives air time to Democrats, who are active parties in their panel discussions. I rather enjoy Hannity every weekday evening, and the spirited discussion that goes on from BOTH sides of the aisle. Of course, the liberals get creamed, just saying.
I rather enjoyed watching Michael Moore get his head handed to him.
Not so sure you get the same opportunity on CNN and other MSM media outlets.
It's just another stop on the long slow slide to oblivion, courtesy of your Community Organizer.
Looking forward to 2010~

He did an interview with Sean Hannity - I didn't watch the whole thing cause he creeps me out, lol. I am sure you can find in on Fox or Hannity's websit. It was a couple of weeks ago.

I thought Hannity looked the fool. It's all about our own perspective.
Having said that, I am not in support of Obama right now, I am totally opposed to his continuing the war in Afghanistan. I am very disappointed about this.
On health care, I know you work in the profession in Canada. I have personal experience with my MIL living and dying in the US. I think their system sucks big time. Is ours perfect? No. Is it better than the US? Yes, a thousand times yes. I understand from polling that most Americans would like healthcare. Apparently most Fox news people would not like them to have it. I don't get why. It is the dumbest argument I have ever witnessed.

From today's NY Times -- gg, 08:39:26 10/23/09 Fri [1]
In a sign of discomfort with the White House stance, Fox’s television news competitors refused to go along with a Treasury Department effort on Tuesday to exclude Fox from a round of interviews with the executive-pay czar Kenneth R. Feinberg that was to be conducted...Michael Clemente, senior vice president for news and editorial programming at Fox, said the White House was conflating the network’s commentary with its news coverage. That, Mr. Clemente said, “would be like Fox News blaming the White House senior staff for the Washington Redskins’ losing record.”...Later that week, White House officials said, they noticed a column by Clark Hoyt, the public editor of The Times, in which Jill Abramson, one of the paper’s two managing editors, described her newsroom’s “insufficient tuned-in-ness to the issues that are dominating Fox News and talk radio.” The Washington Post’s executive editor, Marcus Brauchli, had already expressed similar concerns about his newsroom.
