Media Matters' Eric Burns on Fox News' "Goal To Destroy Obama"

In light of White House Communications Director Anita Dunn calling Fox News "opinion journalism masquerading as news," and in an interview with CNN, "the research arm of the Republican party," Lawrence O'Donnell (in for Keith Olbermann) talks to Media Matters president Eric Burns called Dunn's description of Fox News spot-on, adding that the network is a "24/7 political operation with a... goal to destroy the presidency."

WE'RE ALL THE SAME ANTS, NEEDING THE SAME ANT HILL! Fox, CNN and MSNBC all try to divide us, EVERYDAY! "United we stand, divided we fall." We're so busy bickering over crap that doesn't matter we, the people, don't ask the simplest questions like: "Why are there cars that run on water ... and you all do nothing about it?" "Why doesn't the press talk about that?" "Why is there free energy but we still give the oil companies tax breaks?" THINK PEOPLE... THINK. OUR COUNTRY'S FUTURE DEPENDS ON IT!

@MickMan211 So your point is that Americans should become less individual rights oriented and more unified worker labor group oriented? Fox news has been vindicated since this airing by leaps and bounds. The whitehouse criticism is clearly a case of prejudice and voter tampering. Just like any TV program, if you don't want to watch it turn it off but you don't have the right to turn everyone's TV off if you don't like it, even if you are in the majority because we live in a REPUBLIC!

America desperately needs to get the fairness doctrine back!

The result of the Reagan-administrations decision to get rid of it has been a country more and more devided and more and more mis-informed!

Demand more of your media - ALL the media!
