Re: Obama Blasts Fox News
Quote:
Item: Although we are all engaged in a forum of opinions and debate, one of the things that makes this work is - informed opinion and that creates wothwhile debate. Otherwise we wind up with one half-assed sentence after another appearing on the page and it just shows the incompetency of the one throwing the opinion. To say that the president "flips out" at criticism and otherwise detests debate overlooks two things: show us where the man has forgotten himself and overacted to any criticism. Secondly, with respect to debate - how do you think he got to be president? What the presidnet refers to as not constructive debate is the delay tactics of the right in both houses to keep the president's agenda from passage and to prevent it being given a fair chance to either work or not. I don't really include the stimulous package as a fair addemdum to his agenda, because it's entrance caught the public by surprise and presidnet Obamna has had to shoot from the hip in damage control: and no one on this earth is going to convince me that john McCain and Sarah Palin would have anywhere near as good up until now. Item: Fox News... Face it, Fox news is a place where the rightwing can tune in and hear what they want to hear about any subject. It's their media outlet and I for one don't take it seriously at all. Neither do I take seriously the 700 club. The only reason that they say "Fox is fair and balenced" is because, on balance there are no other outlets that cater to the extreme rightwing. Pacifica Radio has catered to the extreme left for about 60 years now: and they are none too friendly towards Obama either. So, there goes the liberal media argument right out the window. For those who still insist that there is a Liberal Media, tell mudwhistle to roll over and get in bed with him - you deserve each other. |

Even on Hannity--you will have one conservative--one liberal--one independent giving their opinions. On the other hand you have the main stream media--who eliminate information &--who will only give "glowing--pampered" reports on the Obama administration. If you can't see that you must be blind. That's why O'reilly's ratings--the re-run of the early nightly program that is shown again at 11 p.m. eastern time. His ratings have skyrocketed by 75% The only reason Obama is trashing FOX News is because they are NOT in bed with him. Last edited by Oreo; 06-17-2009 at 10:12 PM. |

Re: Obama Blasts Fox News
Or as someone mentioned earlier, perhaps FOX is just reporting the facts (outside of the opinion shows). They just stand in stark contrast to praise MSNBC showers on him. Im pretty sure Chris Mathews has a crush on Obama. He was fawning over the fly swatting last night.

Asking for debate on Obama's reckless spending spree for programs we cannot afford is not "no". It is the responsible thing to do. Obama is wrong when he says the time for debate is over. It is a requirement to which we should all hold our representatives in congress.

Re: Obama Blasts Fox News
so if they are the heavyweight, doesn't that mean there is no way in hell that the 'mainstream media' is in his pocket?

I was just responding to Solletica saying they were desparate to be the heavyweight. She's a little late to the dance.
