This may surprise some people but I think the W.H. not allowing Fox "news" to interview Kenneth Feinberg initially was a step too far .To the White House's credit, they said it was a mistake and it was corrected .However, in saying this, there is no question Fox "news" is biased towards this administration,Democrats, and serves as a propaganda arm for the right (Sometimes far right) .
Now I know it may seem like there is a conflict of interest with Olbermann and Maddow both being invited to the White House .However, It's really not .Both Olbermann and Maddow are left leaning .They've made no secrets about this .I assure you if Obama has crossed the line, they will hold his feet to the fire, and they have .Also, let's not forget Obama has invited some of his harshest
critics from Fox and the right to the W.H. also .

If the W.H. chooses to stay away from Fox "news" channel it's fine and justified in my view .Tell me how many times did the Bush administration go on MSNBC ? How many times did Bush go on Olbermann's show, as Obama had done on O'Reilly's show ?

Fox can claim it's "fair and balanced", but it doesn't take much watching of that channel to know the truth .Until they stop firing the left leaning and independent commentators (Shepard look out),stop with outrages name calling and transparent acts of right wing support, such as,"terrorist fist jab","Obama's baby-mama" ,"Obama hates white people", "he's a Marxist", "he's a socialist", "Fema camps","indoctrination", promoting and cheering 9/11 teabaggers, having former Bush staff as payed commentators on their programs, how could they claim they are any thing but unfair and biased ?




Now I know I said I think the Obama administration went too far with the attempted interview blocking of Fox "news" .Well, I take some of that back .Although they were still wrong in this one instance, they haven't gone too far .Going too far is outing a journalist's wife, who was a covert CIA agent, due to an op-ed that didn't favor a trumped up Iraqi war policy.

  • Maddow is my favorite journalist.

  • @metalnat28

    Who are you trying to convince? Us, or yourself?

  • @HandyMan101 That isn't a bad thing, in fact I would love to put a picture of Miss Maddow in my dictionary by the definition 'Butch Dyke' so I can swoon over here when I have to look up other, less attractive definitions. Rar

  • ME - RACHEL MADDOW AND BUTCH DYKE IS A SYNONYM

  • .....And

    "Also the polls show support growing for the health care bill"

    Which is totally irrelevant and inaccurate. Because it's still too low to pass. However, it wouldn't even matter if it does pass at the end. Because folks like me, will still end up at being right about health-care's dud. AKA destroying our economy furthermore. A Bill that our society can barely afford. Especially in this economy. But when the times comes, you'll see it for yourself :-) Once you'll go broke on the street.

  • How does this doesn't mean anything? That because of these massive issues, Obama's reputation is now going down the drain like no other president in the past. Hell, not even George W Bush had it this bad.

    "That wasn't won by a Democrat since the civil war"

    Exactly. Which shows right there on how tires our society already are of "Obama's administration". People want want changes now. And not typical socialism. And both parties are in control of the W.H.

  • Metalnat28, judging from your response, I'm sure you don't get allot of things . You can lead a thirsty horse to water but they always will choose the salt rock instead, lol . Anyways, I'm done wasting my time with you . You don't need common sense, you need a shrink ...It's been fun.....

  • That doesn't mean anything . Owens won a heavy populated Republican strong hold .That wasn't won by a Democrat since the civil war .Also, who controls the house, senate, and W.H. ? In addition conservative Democrat Lincoln is in trouble in Arkansas against a progressive . Also, the polls show support growing for the current health care bill . Yet, I guess your going to come back and call me a poo poo head, right, lol ? Grow up Metalnat28, this why you guys lost so bad .

  • Who won the "Elections" In Massachusett.?

    Why do you think Obama's health-care plan is a huge dud to our society? People are currently voting against it.

    And.. well.... There you have it [=

    You need more facts on how much more of an impact "Fox-News" has on our society compared to your sissy shitty MSNBC channel? Who nobody watches by the way but little inferiors such as yourself.

    And nope, i totally don't get it. Since that this has nil to do with our convo. Please enlighten me on it.

  • So I guess that means you have not one answer to my question .You just want to dance around what I asked and scream "I can't hear you lalala", lol . I acknowledge Fox "news" has high ratings, you twit . Yet, you can't acknowledge why those "high ratings don't translate into votes ? I bought up the "National Enquirer" as an analogy of Fox's high ratings . Get it...? Of course you don't .
