RSSWe Report, You Decide: Who Is Legitimate,FOX News Or The White House?
Carl Andrews | October 21, 2009
The “most transparent administration in history” is having a real problem with Fox News.
Which makes them the most un-focused administration in history.
Even the most die-hard members of the Kool-Aid Brigade should be asking “Don’t you people have more important things to do?”
Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The economy.
Unemployment.
The Deficit.
And a host of other vital issues facing America, and the White House is whining that it doesn’t think Fox News is treating them fairly?
Apparently, in the Obama administration, it’s acceptable to try and silence your critics.
Other points of view are not allowed.
And they call us Nazis?
Senior White House Advisor David Axerod called on other media to join the administration’s claim that “Fox is not a legitimate news organization.”
In an interview on ABC, he went on to state that “Other news organizations like yours ought not to treat them that way.” “We’re not going to treat them that way.”
White House spokesperson Anita Dunn said the White House “stopped providing guests” to Fox News Sunday after Chris Wallace fact-checked statements made by an administration official.
Dunn said the fact checking of an administration official was something she had never seen a Sunday show do.
I guess no one ever fact-checked George Bush.
Or maybe Anita has just started watching television since she joined the Obama administration.
During an interview on CNN, White House Chief-Of-Staff Rahm Emanuel, when asked about Fox News, had this to say:
“It’s not a news organization so much as it has a perspective, and that’s a different take…”
Keep in mind people that these are so-called adults making these statements.
I haven’t heard so much “No Fair” whining since I was in grammar school.
And apparently others share my point of view.
Thomas DeFrank, a man who has covered the administrations of eight different Presidents and serves as the bureau chief of the New York Daily News had this to say:
“I can never remember a White House urging news organizations to boycott other news organizations. That strikes me as unprecedented.”
Does that help bring into focus that we have whiny brats running around the halls of the White House?
The fact that a man who has been covering White House goings-on for over forty years has never seen such outright stupidity before?
So what would the Obama administration consider to be fair and balanced coverage?
Maybe something like the opinions of these two “journalists”
“Always speak before Barack Obama, not after Barack Obama.”
“I felt this thrill running up my leg.”
The Obama adminsitration and the White House staff prays that they could sway Fox News to the same sort of un-biased journalism.
Then they would be saying that it’s “CHANGE we can believe in.”

It’s so simple to understand. A liberal watches CNN or MSNBC and considers them “middle of the road” because they agree with every opinion expressed. And with 90% of all “news” coverage riddled with subtle and not-so-subtle opinion, Fox News doesn’t sound like a “news” organization to THEM.
And what does it matter anyway. The founding fathers specifically left new organizations out of the constitution to protect free speech. The press is SUPPOSED to be a government watchdog – ALL of them, not just Fox. The O-administration should count themselves VERY fortunate.
