Obama Officially Freezing Out Fox News
 


One might be inclined to say that Roger Ailes' station is getting their comeuppance, but at this point it doesn't even seem like a personal vendetta that Barack Obama is holding against Fox News: it's a policy practice. Not only has he not given any of their anchors a sit-down date post-election, not only has he ignored every one of their questions during his press conferences, but yesterday the president-elect even fielded a comment by CBS's Dean Reynolds over one of Fox's field agents, the same guy who infamously snarked on the Democrat's "smelly" campaign plane.

Either Obama hasn't memorized his grudges in anything other than across the board broad-form, or his new chief of staff is whispering in his ear exactly which station is getting blacklisted from future photo-ops.

Which just means that Murdoch's instincts were correct when they told him to separate himself from his corporations like FNC and the Post, and grudgingly come out for Obama.

Another thing I agree with Obama. He doesn't consider Fox News Network a legitimate news network and neither do I. A cross between visual conservative radio talk show station and a gossip channel.

After the way FOX endlessly smeared not only him but his wife who can blame him? Fox is full of propaganda and was created by Murdoch to promote his right wing crap. FOX is beneath Obama-and all decent people.

Obama just wants the media who kisses his butt. When people ask him "tough" questions he gets upset. Please, someone needs to challenge him. Bush never got away with this. Obama stutters when he isn't reading off a teleprompter, yet the media keeps saying this guy is Einstein. He's not, he's a master manipulator. I've listened to all the tv news shows and I'll take Fox over any of the others. Keith Olbermann constantly spews out lies and the shem that comes on after him does the same. Sad. Look what Obama's people did to Joe the Plumber. I'm glad that guy had the nerve to ask him something. It revealed what the media doesn't want you to know. Hey liberal media, when are you going to find out this guy wasn't even born in the US. Who vetted Obama? He was born in Kenya!
