Hannity: Obama Administration Is "Scared" of Fox News

[soyfity]

God, I really wish Sean Hannity would get hit by a Public bus. This guy is soooooo annoying and a prick to boot. Fox News is NOT NEWS. How many times can anyone stress this? Fox News is NOT NEWS. Plain and Simple......

[Zooni2]

Since Fox is the Republican News Network and organizing rallies agenst the present gouverment. Why would the the present gouverment allow Fox access to the white house. Would a football team allow the oposites team into the looker room. Not in a million years.

[Arcturistheballer]

@Zooni2 why would the government not allow a news organization into the white house? think about what you are proposing. This isnt football. You can't say only news organizations with a favorable view of the white house can come in. Thats controling the press, thats fidel castro communism shit. Will you ever see that in this country? not in a million years. (hopefully)

[Reqrezentin]

Obama is scared of what Fox News might trigger ... gun-loaded rednecks.

[Arcturistheballer]

@Reqrezentin I'll keep my guns freedom and money, you keep the change.

[Reqrezentin]

@Arcturistheballer

gd luck

[ptmacman9]

President Obama...don't give a shit about Fucked up news....

[ohmybentley]

WASHINGTON  President Barack Obama is prodding House and Senate Democrats to get him a final health care bill as soon as possible, encouraging them to bypass the usual negotiations between the two chambers in the interest of speed.

Obama delivered the message at an Oval Office meeting Tuesday evening with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his No. 2, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., joined in by phone.

[eastmorenci]

Fox attacked Bush when he deserved it for his domestic policies, the economy etc. Lefties don't watch Fox News closely. Lefties only snipe at Fox News.

Lame! Yes, you are faggots!

[debfult85]

fox pox no news sorry kiddos

[smp22287]

Fox news never challenged any of W. Bush's ridiculous actions with the zealous criticism of Obama; where was Fox news then? Many of the stories they cover on Fox are ridiculous to start out and are blown out of proportion by the network (i.e. war on christmas, tea parties, gay marriage); they are then commented on by other news networks (stupidly), which makes them seem more credible, but they are ridiculous stories nonetheless.

[FamousDave2186]

Hmm funny I recall when they attacked bush for starting the out of control spending and raising the defict.

[jensen1901]

Dumbass Sean Hannity. "Stories" like Bill Ayers and Jeramiah Wright? What were the stories and how did they affect your life? They were only "stories" designed to try and take down Obama. And both failed to take him down. Because both stories were bogus, trumped up political hit jobs and the American people rejected them. Hannity has no credibility and lies by using fake footage to try and deceive his viewers (see last week). Fox is not real news. Anyone with a brain knows it.

[Amyls64]

If they white house is attacking Fox news... then YOU SHOULD WATCH FOX NEWS!!

[theGOPisDEAD1]

Huh? His rant ironically makes the White House's point.

[whiskeygurl70]

Whitehouse needs to control Anita Dunns Diet.

[amanfnu]

FOX NEWS is NOT News Organization.

FOX NEWS = FOX Republican NEWS

FOX NEWS always give NEWS + HATE

If you want to have HEALTH & CLEAR Brain, You should watch CNN.

CNN always give BALANCE & TRUE News.

Right Now a lot of Companies PULL Their AD from FOX NEWS Because They Now WHO FOX NEWS is.

[jimmi161]

Is this the same CNN that supported the Iraq war and supported the thought that Saddam was a threat to the US and had WMD's? Yeah CNN is real wonderful... Idiot.

[brucebruce325]

Fox News is the number one watched news programming out of all the stations (Neilsen). The Democrats would be wise to reach out to an organization with more than twice their usual audience. I applaud the few democrats who have stood up for Fox and then been harassed by their own party. No one likes any organization that points out the flaws in another, but the truth is that Fox News makes a favored organization be accountable for their actions....and democrats love to point the finger.

[brucebruce325]

Amanfnu you base these comments on nothing. Fair and Balanced? Fox news has more guest from the opposing party than either CNN, MSNBC, and CNBC. Those stations don't even go into the double digits. No companies have pulled their ads from Fox, that would be a unwise business move. They pulled their time slots from Glenn Beck, but not the station as a whole. A few suspended their advertising, but have resumed their advertising on the station. The Democrats are on a power trip and it will backfire.

[yoyoma102]

i love fox news, your a faggot

[hatefailure]

Fox news = birther = tea party = extremist = propaganda = hostile = manipulative

[sonygvf]

I think Hannity is scared...btw, Murdoch just sold Fox to Viacom.

[dmanmar]

You can even hear it in his whiny voice.

[Arcturistheballer]

@dmanmar what do you hear the truth?

[dmanmar]

@Arcturistheballer The truth? HA....You made my day with a good laugh.

[sonygvf]

Speaking of misinformed, check out the film "Outfoxed" on Google.....do some research...

[DeepSpaceFunk9]

this douchebag is'nt fit to lick the

the dog shit off the presidents shoe..

i pray for his death daily !

fuck him & fake news..

[roscoe85cj]

Patriotic Americans are at war with Comrade Obama .. Fox is just our mouthpiece put in place to help the misinformed

[Thisisnotmyrealname8]

David Axelrod is right. The point of view of Fox is as if people have brains and believe in God, while the "neutral" point of view from the other networks is that of an atheistic approach.

[bogota104]

Nothing is Ever Said About George W and his Comments for 8 years about the Media and his control of Info....

[MarcosFerdinand]

was it the other way around, fucking fox is on war with Obama. Another propaganda bullshit.

[Lehcar88]

There is truth on both sides. However, Fox has LONG been waging a war on this administration. Many would claim the same of CNN when a republican is in office.

Obama is dem, fox clearly repub leaning. Cnn center/left leaning. It's easy for fox to claim they are giving you the whole truth, sadly it's a lie. They are just giving you what they feel is the 'other half.' The counter argument, whether it's good or bad.

However, Fox shouldnt cry wolf when the WH plays rough--they started long ago.

[panterafist]

I don't feel comfortable watching fox news. Very manipulative.....just look at how their foxy news reporter speak....

[boluke26]

The amount of spin and double-speak coming out of this presenters mouth is simply unbelievable.

[HalfLucky]

8PM P2+ (25-54) (35-64)

The OReilly Factor 3,722,000 viewers (984,000) (1,687,000)

[AMPDOG2]

fox can dish it but can't take it. Fox sond like that lil kid that never gets picked for anything.

[mommar33]

this white house is scared of the truth period.

[cmel714]

Hannity is a fool.

[seahorse1960]

I love fox news!!! They give you more info on whats going on,where cnn and msnbc only tell you half of the truth. So if it makes obama look bad they wont show it.

To many people love fox news....Your never be able to shut them down;) Oh wait dont they pull this crap in other countrys like N korea ,Cuba,Iran and so on?

One last thing,im not a republican!so dont think that everyone who watches fox is.

[takeahnase2009]

When FOX needs to appear as the victim, they get Sean Hannity.

[BenJr01]

Fox could have asked Beck the CLOWN and his FAKE ASS crying routine to appear... but I think every one may have would have seen through that.

[55nublet]

Finnally some one put that news agency in thier place. I remember whaen sheep williams was covering the win of obama he mad ths remark on our presiden wich is a personal opinion and not news "sinical pollititions smile" really lol fox news is crap its rep. pure extreamism gogo shut em down

[inflateyourtires]

Fin Alley has some ones.

Put that news agent see in the er um place.

I remember what Ean Sheeple will i am (whoever that is) was covering the ACORN enhanced win of Ovomit.

He's mad.

This re mark on my press is a dented witch & is a person (hey all) opinion & knot news.

"Sin is misspelling a quote" "pollutants smile a ton" really :)

FOX knew it's crap is represented.

Pure ex stream is a no go go shut er uh, them down.

Thanx Niblet,

I needed that!

[mosquewatcher]

Ratings count.

Fox News blasts msnpms out of the water. Deal with it libs. Nobody like keith overbite of rachel madcow.

[AlliesStrike1944]

All of you so called Fox News haters do you watch the ratings? Fox' ratings are higher than CNN, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, etc. COMBINED. You attack them because they're not in a slobbering love affair with Obama like the rest of the media. It's shameful for our country not to have fair and balanced coverae and criticism of our President. I can cite tons of stories where the mainstream media didn't cover it because it was anti-Obama, like the ACORN story.

[wntoply6]

sorry dude, no their not. unfortunately for truth, you do a great injustice.

you know what there allies, you just gotta stop your lies, at best it does become laughable that you have no idea what you're talking about. at worse you are a traitor to the spirit of the constitution and probably your bible.

[AlliesStrike1944]

Huh? You're not making any sense. Please clarify what you're tying to say. What's unconstitutional is ACORN and Jeremaih Wright and the general media so afraid to question the Obama adminstration. That's borderline state run media. It's dangerous for so many liberal media outlets to distort the truth about our President and spin in his direction. Perhaps you should stop lying to yourself and whatever God you believe in and get real.

[thelatinodoctrine]

Sean Hannity of Friends Of Xenophobes really believes what he is saying and the reason Democrats watch these morons on Friends Of Xenophobes is to see what nonsense they have cooked up for the day. Remember around election time... their own personal polls had McCain beating Obama by a 90 to 10 percent ratio. Friends Of Xenophobes is just hyped-up propaganda for their many minions.

[smokenchill]

pink pig

[1019drummer]

THE BIG NEWS FOR THE DAY.........OR IF YOUR A FOX EMPLOYEE............"FOX IS NOT NEWS"

the other big news for the day at fox...hannity earning his keep defending fox.

go gettem sean....oh whatfucking ever.

here's the real news.most news geeks look to blogs for the real story or one of the other networks.

this is because sean many many many people dont take your type of so called reporting seriously.

operating under the premis that your realy telling it the way it is.......is just bullshit.

[kaptainkool408]

Fuck Hannity the Mannity, challenging those in powers is the media's obligation so long as it's fair and balanced and FOX NEWS is by far the farthest you can go from and an example of actual unbiased real news. FOX NEWS is nothing but propaganda for the republicans party, It exists to make Murdoch money and spew any ridiculous talking points from the republican moment.

[AlliesStrike1944]

Have you ever watched Fox News? It's your biased contention that Fox is for the Republican Party but they're not. Glenn Beck, O'Reilly, etc. attacked the Bush adminstration too. When 90% of the American media is so in love with Obama and never challenges him, we need at least 1 media outlet to stand up for the rest of America. If Fox is so bad, explain why they are the HIGHEST rated cable news show on TV? Ratings better than NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, CBS, etc. COMBINED. Watch Fox first then comment.

[kaptainkool408]

Come one, Fox was in completely love with the the Bush Administration when it fist came into office but even they couldn't keep trying to spin every story of corruption and outright idiocy that came out from the Bush administration. And as far as they having the highest ratings on Television that's simple, where else is the 20% of red meat fundamentalists going to get news spun to fit their crazy points of view other than fox. There's enough crazies out there and they need their ideas spewed.

[AlliesStrike1944]

That goes you don't watch Fox. First of all, they based the GW Bush adminstration for all his idiocy. And believe me, he was a blithering idiot. Furthermore, independants, libertarians and other non-crazy leftist liberals need a balanced source of news and commentary. There's no other outlet than Fox, maybe Politico, the Wall Street Journal. Other than that you have Chris Mathews, John Stewart, Campbell Brown, Keith the moron Oberman, etc., etc., you actually give these biased Obamanots credit?

[kaptainkool408]

You know what, were not going to get anywhere with all this name calling. im sure you feel you and fox have valid points and that the rest of the media has a liberal biased and that they misrepresent stories they dislike. I dont feel that's the case. You can't tell me all news was biased liberally until the inception of fox news. I don't have a single problem with fox being conservative so long as they admit to it and they don't go around saying they're fair and balanced.

[wwjd07777]

Great job hannity and God bless.

[joshuag5732]

Everybody already knows the Fox network is just an arm of the Republican party. It's not going to change so I don't see the harm in addressing them as such.

[XtreemMetalMan]

@joshuag5732 Yeah, and Msnbc is an arm of the Democratic Party.

[joshuag5732]

@XtreemMetalMan Maybe, but at least they have Joe Scarborough and they don't try and pretend that they aren't. Enough with this 'fair and balanced' crap.

[DixieDale]

The WH called a spade a spade - Fox is NOT a legit news org., but a right wing propaganda machine. I was glad to see WH come out and say what most know to be true - Fox is more about marketing and styling the news to the detriment of the current WH than it is about reporting news in an unbiased way.

This group with the likes of Rove,Roger Aires,OReilly,Hannity,Beck,Lim­baugh & those stooges on in the a.m. have hurt the integrity of journalism greatly.

Would love to hear Cronkite's take on it.

[THX1138x29]

A Totalitarian regime would silence the opposition, just like Hugo Chavez.

[FearThePinkBlueMist]

fucking dumbass.

[1biohazard]

partysvenske go home!

[xsleef]

Soon we will be like russia with ev thing by a corrupt govt that sell their ppl out for power and money.

[CharlieNJ]

Hey PoliticsNewsPolitics, this isn't news- I don't care what Sean Hannity says about Fox News.

[DERAJ13]

how much shit did fox leave out when bush was prez? fuck all the news stations everyone has there own agendas

[CalisFinest101]

Your blind. Fox news is speaking the truth. What's happening "NOW", not 8 years ago. Watch Fox News This Week Will Be Interesting!

[imthecoffeecup]

I love how Hannity is saying Fox News is not an enemy to the country in one way or another.

There's a large difference between being scared and just being fed up with bullshit.

[katabole]

The White House administration is full of it. If you don't carry the water for them, you don't count. Half the so called MSM spends time spinning about FOX. Free Republic = Free Speech. To hell with the propoganda shills. "but if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao"

[bleunt]

I'm so tired of people saying "people who watch FOX News, trust FOX News". I watch FOX News. Am I part of your statistics? I watch FOX News, but not for the information. Only for the entertainment, and to be aware of what they're up to.

[TheBravo345]

Thanks for the ratings!

[bleunt]

Well I watch it online. We don't really get it here in Sweden. They tried to air it here for a couple of months, but it failed. We have independent news here, free from government and commercial interests, funded and owned by the people.

But I see your point, and I wouldn't have any problems with providing them with good ratings. It's entertainment, and they should get paid for entertaining.

[ensurePlus1]

spoken like a true corporate puppet.

we are americans. ratings is what its all about huh pal?. not facts. fuck the factual world. just spin it.

[cedarpose]

the Obama admin going after fox is crazy. sure Fox is spewing a bias but so is MSNBC but the admin doesn't worry about what they are spewing do they? hmm

[gone2cast]

hah - as if democrats, independents or liberals would want to tune into fox just so they can be humiliated and talked down to..

[ensurePlus1]

poll: "half of the audience of fox news is democrat and independent." beyond bullshit. just disgusting. liars! liars!

[LeGioNoFZioN]

he is a democrat who worked for clinton, does that syurprise you ?

[alanshanelewis]

does he not see the irony of his story... fox news pushing an agenda as he attacks the obama administration

[scytheboy]

"Cynical, manipulative, and an abuse of power." Oh that's sooooo rich coming from Hannity.

[andid]

Now you'd think with everything facing the country right now, what: two wars, a flagging economy, and a reigning regime seeking nuclear weapons, that Fox "News" would have better things to do than sling mud and bully anyone who disagrees with their strict ideology...but you'd be wrong.

Take a look.

[debfult85]

please hannity, you are too funny!!! try to stay home with your family and read some history books.

[diah4]

scared? please!

More like unconcerned and unintrested in bullshit.

foxnews is just that. P.O.V. that's it. Uncivilized racist spewing hate.

[SpasticSasha]

fox is the only news channel

[slyordie42]

Hannity dropped out of college twice...so stfu

[stoicsquirrel]

Didn't Bill Gates drop out, too? What the fuck does droppimg out of college have to do with anything?

[slyordie42]

comparing Gates to Hannity....please think before you write.

[stoicsquirrel]

Don't be an idiot. You brought up Hannity being a college drop out. I showed you that dropping out of college had nothing to do with ANYTHING. You just brought it up, hoping that you could make him look worse by mentioning it. But being a college drop out doesn't matter. Don't pretend like you couldn't figure out why I made the comparison.

[susanbird1]

Rupert Murdock and FOX NEWS are dangerous for America.

Nixon hated the press and then Bush Senior really tried to smear the press and now Fox is trying to smear our President.

Fox makes up the news they do not report it except for a couple of their reporters.

[smartpeeple]

Maybe Fox is the voice of the WH-and to drive you there the WH figures you'll do the opposite of what they say-ALL MEDIA in the US is owned they all are telling you the same thing --they are paid for to keep the sheeple in a confused state of confusion-if you want the truth research, connect the dots, dig it from news outside the US - it's clear what has been going on - If you go outside the US you'll be able to put together the truth. US Media is all about $-it's all owned by the same people

[PartVIII]

lol, 50% are democrats or independents?

why cant they give the percentage of democrats?

if they singled out the republican party percentage, they definitely have the number of democrats.

but nooo, they just smooshed the data together.

and i bet you all of the independents are Bill O'Reilly independents (a.k.a morons who dont know they are fighting for corporations)

[Duobitdezo]

I'm an Independent and I'm not for Bill O'reilly.

So how am I fighting for the corporation by being a non-goper and non-dem?

[hunterswine]

Scared? NO! Pissed of that FAUX NOISE does nothing but lie and lie and lie. The White House is exposing their lies and disinfo and it is FOX that is afraid! Afraid of true exposure! FOX NEWS is a VIRUS in America and the TRUTH is an anti-viral medication! FOX defines the word peace with war and violence. That should say it all.

[jejasin]

It may be a biased station, but the white house wouldn't be putting all this effort into downplaying it if it wasn't such a popular station. By talking about fox news the white house is only going to boost its ratings...

[integral]

Not really putting an awful lot of effort into it.

The Fox sleezoids are pumping up the WH comments, trying to make it seem they're under attack as an act of self-aggrandizement.

And as far as boosting Fox's ratings, who cares.

The more intelligent people checking out Fox the sooner it'll become common knowledge just what Fox is

[stoicsquirrel]

It wasn't just Fox News talking about it. That clip of Rahm Emanuel came from CNN. So their not the only one's mentioning it. Even Olberman mentioned it.

[AlliesStrike1944]

You liberals always attack ratings when they're not in your favor. I challenge you to give a plausible explanation why more Americans get their news from Fox than 5-6 other channels combined. It's because the country is shifting from it's "love affair" iwth Obama to reality. Even SNL is poking fun at Obama. The Obama adminstration is terrified so their making an "enemies list" and attacking. Perhaps Obama should channel that to Afghanistan where it's really needed instead of waffling.

[nom9rouge]

Fox News rode Bush's jock. While MSNBC viciously attacked Bush.

Now MSNBC is riding Obama's jock and Fox viciously attacks Obama. This time Obama just called them on it and the rabid dog of the republican attack machine came out. It could have been the same with Bush, it was not though.

The opposition media in America is getting more and more ridiculous it saddens me.

[integral]

If you're saying MSNBC is in Obama's pocket (as the right wing media is) then you really haven't been watching it much.

[SpasticSasha]

olbermann's head is inside obama's butt

[AlliesStrike1944]

If 90% of the media are in Obama's corner and the rest can tell the truth from fluff, what's wrong with that? If Obama has the balls, he should come on Fox and take tough questions rather than the softballs and pats on the back from the media that loves him ever so. It's dangerous for America. The ratings don't lie my friend. The leftist media outlets are failing miserably. NYTimes is almost out business and MSNBC has the lowest ratings for a news channel. Explain why?

[ScrewLimbBizkit]

How pathetic can Faux News get?

[integral]

They have not yet begun to plumb the depths of their sleaziness.

[HoZKiNZPooP]

its not news though you silly fuck, you just said it was manipulative, thats a point of view, not news

[shadowtehpwnzor]

Douche nozzle.

[kingtafari9]

you wish Hannity

[justaguy12345]

Rofl.
