Joy Behar & Ari Melber: CNN Covers Battle Between Fox News and Obama

On CNN Headline News, Joy Behar interviews NPR's Peter Sagal, The Nation's Ari Melber and Politico's Nia-Malika Henderson about the war of words between Fox News and President Obama.

Excerpt
BEHAR: Didn't Bush look really bad when he sent Helen Thomas to the back of the room? That was bad.
SAGAL: Bad to whom? I mean this may be one of these issues where the average person in America could care less... it's been going on forever...
MELBER: And Helen Thomas was asking hard questions about our foreign policy. Glenn Beck is asking stupid questions about birth certificates.So there's a difference in whether we're talking about icing out people doing real journalism, or people who are just screaming at The President and stoking -- in Glenn Beck's case, again -- racial hatred, which is wrong...

Wow, this is the panel she got together to debate the white house and fox about bias? Is there intended irony here or am i missing it?

[ZavTheInsane]

@intwtf Do you seriously think that Glenn Beck lets people have their fair say before smearing them? Fuck him, let him have some of his own medicine.

If cnn and others would quit whining about Fox and do some real work, they might not be in the ratings toilet.

[ars21689]

Jackass, that worked out real well for the white house, right.

[googleviI]

Nobody watches this show for a reason.

@intwtf No worries int, the constant bias and cheerleading from CNN , MSNBC, and the rest of the propaganda "news" networks will continue to die on the vine from their vile and outrageous bias. Lets hope they continue to NOT enlist any other POV than the liberal far left, lest they begin to regain their ratings and do not fade away into oblivion, along with the rest of these crooked liars that occupy our government now.

[intwtf]

why wasn't Glenn Beck asked his part on this.. it's easy to talk about someone and not let them defend themselves.. oh wait.. CNN helping the DEMS... Hummm maybe?

[collinis1]

no matter if if you like fox or not the gov should leave the press along

[retownsend]

This panel is retarded - it makes The Glenn Beck program look like an encyclopedia.

There's a reason FOX is infamous nowadays.
