White House Escalates War of Words With FOX News

[sylvestew]

lol ive watched fox and best ratings dont mean best news channel. im pretty sure cnn's ratings are so low is because all they show is the news. and news dosent make good tv

[urdaddy4321]

Obama is a left wing Nixon in his view of the media and in his political ethics

[moonphibes]

If Fox News is right wing then what does that make the rest of the media?

Left Wing?

Fox News is the only news organization that has the perfect balance of viewers with opposing political views: Conservatives, Independents and Liberals.

The other networks can't say that. CNN and especially MSNBC, have mostly Liberal viewers.

That's why Fox News was the only news organization to break the ACORN scandal and the radical communists within the Obama White House.

[Kelji98225]

If the white house can say that fox news is not a news organization... well then the american people that watch fox news can say that the obama administration is not our government.

[SocialistDemokrat]

Too funny, Obama's cult followers in the White House are mad because Fox News actually did a fact check when one of their cronies appeared on the news.

Heaven forbid that the press would actually verify the accuracy of the comments made by White House officials.

[roscoe85cj]

Wow .. the Coward-In-Chief ramps up the attack on Fox News ... understandable though, I mean what marxist posing as leader of the free world wouldn't !~

Hussein runs from Fox ... run Hussein, run ... see Hussein run !

[moonphibes]

Obama and his cult followers are paranoid. They look foolish and are acting like children.

This wouldn't be happening if Fox News had just checked with the White House censors first.

Maybe this is a twisted way for Obama to pay back the other networks for supporting him during the election. He couldn't have done it without them and Treasury Secretary Paulson's bailout accouncement at the 11th hour.

[SocialistDemokrat]

The Obama cult is upset that Fox News had the nerve to cover stories before running them past the censors at the White House.

Obama looks paranoid and childish.

The old communist leaders used to do the same with the Western Press. They only did invterview with Pravda and other leftist publications. They refused to allow their officials to appear in the Western Press if they asked certain questions or had anyone one that disagreed with them.

[muckstar23]

fox news is for bird brains -period

[SocialistDemokrat]

I wish I was an Obama cult follower like you are. I bet you get a lot of free decals and stickers. Be sure to stay away from Fox News now, they just might report something you're not supposed to see.

Remember to stay within the cult censors, I don't want to see you get into trouble

[muckstar23]

you actually think any of this is real....

[1ruskie101]

The Obama White House doesn't like dissent. They would like to follow in the footsteps of Moscow and control the press. The closest thing they have is MSNBC, America's Pravda.

The progressives want the public to see only what they approve. And, like the paranoia of Nixon, will declare war on them until they stop.

It's a simple case of kill the messenger.

[RebelsLiberator]

"Many networks savaged George W. Bush during his final years. It was like a pack of hyenas ripping open a carcass. And yet I don't recall Bush declaring war on a particular network. How is it that Bush could remain professional yet Obama can not?"-Blogger named White Rabbit

[thelatinodoctrine]

Friends Of Xenophobes - FOX News!!!

[SocialistDemokrat]

I thought Obama was elected President for all Americans? His administrations attack on Fox News is akin to attacking mainstream America. More people watch Fox News than any other news network. Is it because they're not a cheerleader network for his radical policies?

What exactly has Fox News done to be attacked like this? The last time a sitting President attacked the press it was Nixon attacking the Washington Post and the NY Times. The similarities between the two are Eire.

[L8nitedave]

What Fox News did is complain because Obama did not go on their network to promote his legislation. Reporters asked why and the WH answered the question, truthfully. Pretty radical huh? Bipartisan media groups have been attacking FOX news for quite a bit longer than Obama has been even on the radar screen claiming it to be propoganda, so far no connection to those groups and any illegal activity, except FOX attacks, erie huh?

[SocialistDemokrat]

There is no question that Fox News is tougher on the Obama admin than the other networks, because they actually have some conservative commentators. Because Obama is a liberal, the conservative commentators don't like his policies.

However, the regular news programming doesn't do commentary, they simply tell you what's going on and rarely puts the White House in a negative light.

The WH is used to soft reporting of NBC and CNN. If Fox News reporting isn't fair, then lets see the evidence.

[L8nitedave]

Well said, objectivity alone most often agrees with Obama these days, but if one is looking for opposition for oppositions sake alone Fox is the only place to get that. I couldn't have said it better.

[1ruskie101]

LOL, you're really stretching it to say that objectivity alone most often agrees with Obama these days. One would really have to be reaching to come up with a conclusion like that. Most of Obama's cult followers won't make a statement like that. Even they have a certain amount of reality they try to stay within.

Isn't denial the the first step in the 12 step process?

[SocialistDemokrat]

I'll make the statement again, if Fox News reporting isn't fair and balanced, then let's see the evidence.

By your response I'd say you're only interested in "RA RA Go Obama" with no objectivity, no questions, no thinking and no balance. Heaven forbid is someone dares asks a question. You're probably more comfortable watching one of the far-left Obama cheerleader networks.

[L8nitedave]

No, I do the same things with them too. But you are right, it is all about the the team you choose to cheer. You chose Fox, I chose reality. YEA TEAM!

[1ruskie101]

Another case of kill the messenger. When you hear something reported that's negative about Obama policies, you don't like it. Most people want to know if something's not working and going wrong, it's called reporting. But you don't want to know.

The White House doesn't like dissent either. Reminds me of Nixon with his paranoia and corrupt staff and they didn't like the reporting by the NY Times and the Washington Post. We all know how that turned out for him.

[L8nitedave]

Kill the messenger? Please, the same people will continue to watch FOX that did before. They watch for their Obama phobia fix. Calling it what it is, is no less free speech, even when the President says it, than what FOX does.

[ddenn]

there are some instances where Fox straight up lies or are arguing false points.

a few were exposed on the CBC when they did a story about left and right media. now, the context they put it in is mainly canadian, but it does shed light that if fox personalities are misinformed or just straight up wrong and still report it as fact, then IMO i dont think it is unreasonable to say that they have made these stretches on other occasions.

The video is interesting but has a liberal viewpoint

[SocialistDemokrat]

@ddenn, there's a reason why ratings at Fox News blows away the competition. People tune in to who has the most information and who's the most fair. MSNBC isn't capable, they've become a mouthpiece for the white house, unions and the DNC. CNN rarely try's anymore.

I just like to hear both sides to the story and let me make up my own mind.

[moonphibes]

I was surprised to hear a senior White House staffer sounding so uninformed and blatantly biased. This campaign by the Obama administration is dangerous to press freedom, and it should concern everyone in the press, not just Fox News.

The Obama aministration has declared war on dissent.

[L8nitedave]

I know, a sitting US President picking and choosing the networks that are most likely to achieve his objectives, and ignoring the rest, THE NERVE!

[thereallurker]

I don't know anyone who takes False News seriously. Everyone knows its a propoganda channel.

[jeffmagic32]

most Americans know that Fox is biased to the right, just as CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC and ABC are biased to the left.

[patriciaredstone]

Fox doesn't give news, it gives self-gratification.

[3martijns]

Wonder what kind of tuber '2ber' is - I think it's a YAM THAT EXPLODED IN THE MICROWAVE!

[3martijns]

bho admin is ALL PARANOID, RADICAL, FOUL-MOUTHED, FREAKY ATHEISTS.

[roscoe85cj]

All Whitehouse personnel are under direct orders from the Coward-In-Chief not to speak with Fox News ... haha

Hussein runs from Fox News faster than he ran out the back door of his black theology hate-america church ... run Obama run ... see Obama run

[jamesgober]

LOL

[dantheleo]

This communications director is talking about Fox News instead of the real issues. Once again this administration is trying to get every American mind off the important issues, another trick. Such as we still have 15.1 million of our fellow Americans unemployed and waiting this administration to do something, anything! However, unemployment doesn't seem to be high on obamas to do list like raising taxes on every level with government run health care & cap and trade.

[JoeJeffersonn]

Obama is a tricky DICK. Can you believe any American can sit for this Marxist prick.

mmm mmm mmm Barack Hussein Obama

[FrancescaGianna]

We the people are allowing facist tactiics? I saw the enemy and the enemy was us.

[moteintheeye]

Good Pogo reference. I knew that the WH did not like Fox, but did not realize it was so deep and overt.

[beckstoy2]

Wow. Nice piece. It's amazing to me how many people discount Fox, even with the obvious viewer preference. The comment that it can backfire against our Ear Leader is probably a sound one.

I don't even turn on CNN, MSNBC or any others anymore! I save the space on my channel list by removing them altogether! As far as I know, they don't even exist! With sagging viewership like they have, this will be the reality soon.

[2bertube]

No major media has ever been so consistently disreputable as Fox News.

[corncat]

Yeppers .... the rest of the media has been ever so disreputable. It's funny how Obama obsessives over the lone voice of dissent.

[joshpnw]

Damn cry babies... He is the POTUS for god sake... ACT LIKE IT!

I don't recall Bush ever crying about nearly every damn left leaning news outlet oozing vitriol about him nearly every night.

[corncat]

Amen.... I like teh euphemism used in the report "it's been decades" since a President has behaved this way. Hmmm.... Dick Nixon.

[tlafountains]

Obama is a pussy... cant take a REAL question! WEAK!! shows in his foreign policy! Obama... american and the world are laughing at you!!! look at the rating idiot!!!!
