More FoxLeaks: How Bill Sammon Slanted Fox's Cairo Speech Coverage

On June 4, 2009, a couple of hours after President Obama delivered his much-anticipated speech in Cairo regarding America's relationship with the Muslim world, Fox News Washington managing editor Bill Sammon sent an email to Fox staff pointing out that Obama did not use "the words 'terror,' 'terrorist' or 'terrorism.'

"He just can't himself for Blaming America First". Well Mr Old White Man, America IS to be blamed for their actions. You see, there is something we liberals like to call PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. I know it's foreign to Republicans and y'all don't like those big elitist ivy league words - it hurts, so take a pill.

Excuse me but I want to point out that he did not use the words "Poppins", "Spoon Full Of Sugar", or "supercalifragilisticexpialido­cious" either! THEREFORE, He clearly does not support Disney musicals.

Mr. President we want your stance on Disney Musicals... Your continued silence will only force us to conclude that you hate Mickey Mouse!

Day 1: Story airs that MM4A has declared war on Fox News.

Day 4: MM4A posts heavily edited slime attack against Fox editor Bill Sammon.

Anybody see any connection? If you expect this to be anything remotely like objective journalism, let alone honest, I've got a bridge I'd like to sell you. What is obvious here is that MM4A is exactly what they accuse Fox News of being -- a full-tilt partisan propaganda organ. The only difference is, you don't have to edit MM4A's crap to illustrate falsehoods.

Its interesting how Fox News is the only Mass Media (as in highly visible) outlet that has a conservative lean. All others like msnbc, cnbc, cnn et al are usually considered left of center. So why is media matters going after the "lone wolf" Fox News with such vigor?

I dont watch Fox News but I question the motives of such rigorous attacks against Fox news when I see none against msnbc. IMO Olberman was just as annoying and spread libel like Hannity does.

Media matters seems to have an agenda.

@0scottweise18 Sorry, but despite your protests, you really appear to be stupid. "new reported the news"...there is nothing correct about that sentence other than the spelling. And if you believed everything you saw on TV when you were a kid, then yes, you were a stupid and naive kid. I don't see how "socialism" is relevant to this....(???)

[SuperGuitarman69]

@0scottweise18 No my English is just fine. What I stated was exactly correct. A famous Winston Churchill quote, "if you are 20 years old and you are not a socialist, something is wrong with your heart. If you are 40 years old and you are STILL a socialist? Something is wrong with your head!" So if you are not 40 yet I hold out hope you will grow up.

@SuperGuitarman69 "I remember being a kid thinking every Republican was evil just the way the news reported the news." You must have been one stupid kid (and now, a stupid adult..."news reported the news"...learn to speak proper English....).

I like how conservatives jump all over media matters for just telling the truth. think about it.

[SuperGuitarman69]

The left has lied FOR YEARS ON TV. The media has reported the leftists side as TRUTH. I remember being a kid thinking every Republican was evil just the way the news reported the news. It wasn't until FOX and the Internet that I learned the truth. I started seeing what was really going on. And how this country got so FUCKED UP. The news media was LYING the whole time. The left hates FOX for one reason and one reason only. IT EXPOSES THEM. And they do it to perfection. The left is disappearing!
