B & C's Marisa Guthrie on CNN's "Reliable Sources": "... this is a President that campaigned on a platform of unity. He has made a point of reaching across the aisle. He has said he wants to talk to the, the wider world. He has been celebrated for that intention. And he can't talk to Fox News. I mean, he can talk to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad but he can't talk to Chris Wallace. So, I think it really undermines his unity credibility. "

WH Wizard of Odds Rahm Emanuel appeared on CNN's John King's "State of the Union" Sunday and went after Fox News: "It's not so much a conflict with Fox News.... It's not a news organization as much as it has a perspective."
Executive summary: Obama is hell-bent on liquidating Fox News so CNN and others don't follow the leader.
The WH is really piling it on. Obama senior adviser David Axelrod went on ABC's "This Week" to complain that Fox "isn't really news."
They hope by attacking Fox News it will distract the public from all the Administration's failings?
ReplyDeleteNot working - people are out of work 9.8 that isn't counting the people who have fallen off the books so the number is much higher. It isn't because of Fox News.
Americans will take a lot, except for the Government sticking their hands into their pockets, then you have their undivided attention.
A pissing contest with Fox News is still just a pissing contest with Fox News.
These people in the White House are stalling - what do they expect to happen to change things around?
Barack Obama isn't really a messiah or magical. I hope they don't think he can wave a wand, and produce a substantive job recovery?

ReplyDeleteIs it just me or does this white house seem like the student council at my high school back in the 70's?
ReplyDeleteNo, TZ, it isn't just you. Any day now, I expect to hear that Rahm has placed a bag of shit on Glenn Beck's front porch, set it on fire, rung the doorbell, and run like hell.
ReplyDeleteJimbo, I seriously wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Rahm did that. These guys are comical. I can't help but think an awful lot of main stream Dems & traditional liberals aren't terribly embarassed. (and worried!)

ReplyDeleteSo sad! Freedom of speech is now gone. We are officially becoming Venezuela!
ReplyDeleteWe need peaceful revolution of some sort to get back to the constitution.
God save our Country!!!!!!
The Cable News Wars, will be televised just not on any network anyone watches:)
ReplyDeleteThis morning Lou Dobbs canceled on Imus In The Morning, because CNN would not let him appear. The Reporter Boycott of Fox News Networks. Video FBN below.
Here is the thing if CNN and MSNBC folks don’t show up on Fox Networks, I won’t be watching them at all. So how is this helping those network’s ratings? Oh I guess I will watch inferior DNC propaganda channel/sarc. The reason people are not watching now is because they know that CNN, and MSNBC are nothing more than Democrat Party Arms. I already don’t watch MSNBC ,the only thing I WAS watching was Lou Dobbs on CNN.
Imus has already beat CNBC’s in the ratings, and FBN is on half the carriage. MSNBC and CNN are worried about Imus’s ratings on FBN but it wasn’t their on air talent that drives his ratings….gonna miss you Lou but this is what happens when you work for the CommunistCollectiveNetwork.

CNN wouldn't allow Lou to appear? Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.
ReplyDeleteHas the entire media & administration lost their collective minds? They (CNN) should be encouraging Lou to appear to drum up viewership for his own show, shouldn't they? Common sense anyone? Jesus these people are so emotional they can't think straight, can they?
Should FOX hire Lou Dobbs - or should Murdock just purchase CNN and turn it back into a proper news organization?
ReplyDeletePlease, freedom of speech isn't threatened by this ham-fisted response by the White House.
ReplyDeleteIf anything all this does is increase the viewership of FOX and make the White House look petty. And unprofessional.
The hardcore left likes it but we're talking about less than 15 per cent of the country.
We've had 200 plus years of the opposition press hammering the party in power. That the White House doesn't like it is too bad.
If you were this incompetent in the Private Sector, you would be fired. So Fox New is a real News Outlet being run on a Business Model. The other Networks are using what model- Saul Alinsky'? The White House appears to be projecting, when they state Fox News isn't a real News Outlet. MSNBC and CNN et al carrying the DNC water, are not news outlets they are Arms of the DNC. The White House doesn't have any mirrors- these folks could take a look into?
ReplyDeletehttp://michellemalkin.com/2009/10/19/obamas-fox-news-policy-isolation-over-engagement/
These people in the current administration know that there is life after this Presidential Term? They will have to return to the private sector at some point? How is that burning bridges coming?

ReplyDeleteDrives me nuts how criticism of Bleseed Lord Obama is almost treated like blasphemy by his supporters. Not criticizing, and just "believing" was reserved for The Church up until the mid 60's. Kind of proves what a professor said, that the thing that makes Man different from apes is the religious impulse. These people would claim they are not religious. They are; their faith is in The One who doesn't deserved it.
ReplyDeleteI think we should all rent the movie "Tommy" this week, and rewatch the ending over and over, We're not gonna take it, never did and never will; Don't want no religion, not as far as we can tell
At least ted Turner is talking about how he would like to get CNN back.
ReplyDeleteIsn't there a saying about keep yopur friends close and your enimies closer????
Lou Dobbs - FBN Primetime! = Ratings G-O-L-D!
ReplyDeleteI don't know when Lou's contract with CNN is up, but I would have to think a FBN deal is in the cards.
ReplyDeleteGeorge Stephanopoulos, was also a guest this morning, on Imus In The Morning, he must have run the White House gauntlet, and concertina wire. He appeared this morning with Imus on Fox Business News.
ReplyDeleteSeal Hunter is back blogging. Octomom really lit, Hunt’s with Club’s fuse. GRIN.

Obama's team is so sophmoric - this will certainly bite them in the ass.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell is wrong with the White House press corp? If they were real journalists they would be all over Gibbs et al.
