Obama declared war again on Fox News and calls them destructive to America and I believe it's because they shed light on his radical progressive agenda. http://politicalticker.blogs.c.....nbsp; By: CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
(CNN) - President Obama is pulling no punches when it comes to Fox News, declaring the cable news outlet to be "destructive to [America's] long-term growth."
In a more than 8,000-word interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, Obama compared the cable news channel to papers owned by William Randolph Hearst at the turn of the 20th century that unabashedly pushed the media titan's own political views.
"You had folks like Hearst who used their newspapers very intentionally to promote their viewpoints. I think Fox is part of that tradition – it is part of the tradition that has a very clear, undeniable point of view," Obama told the magazine.
Officials in the Obama White House have long made Fox News a punching bag, launching a full blown offensive last year when aides declared the network to be "opinion journalism masquerading as news." Then-White House Communications Director Anita Dunn said the cable outlet "operates almost as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party," and top aide Valerie Jarret called Fox "clearly biased."
But the new comments from Obama constitute the president's most direct attack yet on the network owned by business mogul Rupert Murdoch.
Fox News pushes "a point of view that I disagree with. It's a point of view that I think is ultimately destructive for the long-term growth of a country that has a vibrant middle class and is competitive in the world," Obama said.
"But as an economic enterprise, it's been wildly successful. And I suspect that if you ask Mr. Murdoch what his number one concern is, it's that Fox is very successful."
Obama is in full panic mode... The only thing fox news is destructive to is his "spend like a drunken sailor" approach to gub'met spending.

It's a point of view that I think is ultimately destructive for the long-term growth of a country that has a vibrant middle class and is competitive in the world," Obama said.
OMG!!!!

Obama's a narcissist, he is unable to except any responsibility.
It is ONE evil cable news network that is destroying the nation. Why aren’t the THREE (cbs-nbc-abc) broadcast and TWO(msnbc – cnn) cable networks, and the countless liberal rags responsible? Obama is sounding more and more like the irrational nut that he really is. This is truly Jimmy Carters 2nd term.
To get wealthy, Fox News Owner Rupert Murdoch, can't look like the rest of the Broadcast News Teams. Other networks, cover stories, do the research, then report the NEWS.
If Murdoch & Fox follow that format, their network would be in last place. Murdoch's profitable News Network works News Broadcasting in reverse.
Fox finds out what the potential viewers want to see... then give it to them. There is a whole swamp of Conservatives clamoring for pro Conservative news... it doesn't have to be factual, or particularly interesting, it just has to be what their kind of viewer (old, white & biased) wants to see.
It's the "top 40 request hour" for News.

Box,
Must I remind you again? Bush National Guard Story - Dan Rather?
Without Fox News, that story would have been broadcast without dispute. There are 4 other networks that can call foul of Fox if they inaccurately report news. Even the satirist at Comedy Central takes a crack at debunking Fox. So there is plenty of checks and balances to keep Fox honest. What Obama doesn't like, is there is no more monopoly on information, and Fox is willing to speak truth to power and not let the DNC operatives like Dan Rather make up stories to sway public opinion a month before a presidential election.
Fox is ONE network, and it is a cable news network at that. They don't even broadcast news on their broadcast channel. Obama's drowning in his own policies. Fox is not the problem, he is.
Every once in a while the Networks get it wrong... Every once in a while Fox gets it right!

W.H. scorecard: MSNBC up, bloggers down By: Keach Hagey September 29, 2010 04:30 AM EDT
The vice president told Democrats to “stop whining,” the president told them to “buck up,” and if there was any remaining doubt that press secretary Robert Gibbs’s exasperation over the summer with the “professional left” was the official view of the White House, they dispelled it this week.
But who, exactly, makes up this “professional left” that is so bothering President Barack Obama and his advisers? On Tuesday, Gibbs’ deputy, Bill Burton, made it clear that the occasionally critical cable personalities originally associated with this comment have the administration’s blessing.
"If you're on the left, if you're somebody like Keith Olbermann or Rachel Maddow or one of the folks who helps to keep our government honest and pushes and prods to make sure that folks are true to progressive values, then [the president] thinks that those folks provide an invaluable service.” Burton told reporters.
Noticeably absent from Burton’s embrace was anyone from the blogosphere once courted so avidly by the White House. Peter Daou thinks he knows why:
“With each passing day, I’m beginning to realize that the crux of the problem for Obama is a handful of prominent progressive bloggers, among them Glenn Greenwald, John Aravosis, Digby, Marcy Wheeler and Jane Hamsher.”
Daou, a progressive strategist and blogger himself, offered the explanation in a post provocatively titled, “How a handful of liberal bloggers are bringing down the Obama presidency,” that put a face on Obama’s critics and suggested why their criticism might be so irritating.
The complaints these bloggers have launched against the Obama administration are, Daou notes, “exactly the same complaints they lodged against the Bush administration."..................>>>>......................>>>>................http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0910/42864.html
I'm just totally ashamed of the media.....the relics of the likes of Couric, Behar etc.......the commune living is all nice and fun as long as no one touches your $ and you look like such a giver that you feel FABULOUS.....oh thank you thank you thank you, for all you do you great ones.......the commune and the sharing of underwear is fabulous.......looooove it.....BTW---where is YOUR $ invested......
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
All media outlets are in it for the $$$$$$$$ !!! Just pick your poison, but pick it carefully!!!

Sharpton Wants FCC to Ban Limbaugh Wednesday, November 24, 2010 02:24 PM
Liberal firebrand Rev. Al Sharpton is telling audiences that the Federal Communications Commission should take Rush Limbaugh off the airwaves because of perceived offenses toward racial minorities and other groups.
The attack was only the latest in a series of attacks by Democrats, including President Obama, who suggest that America's political discourse is being crippled by talk radio and cable news shows.
Specifically, Sharpton suggested that the FCC should establish "guidelines" or "standards" to regulate speech.
"You've got to remember that those stations that Rush Limbaugh is on and others are regulated by FCC, granted by FCC; they go back to them to get waivers," Sharpton said on his own radio show on Nov. 19th
"They go back to them to get consolidation," Sharpton continued. "They have the right to set standards. That does not impair your right to speak what you believe, but it does say that you are not going to do that to offend groups of Americans based on their race, their gender, their sexual status - none of that."................>>>>.................>>>>...............http://www.newsmax.com/InsideC.....mp;promo_code=B2FD-1
