"LET'S TALK ABOUT IT"

Just a smoke screen...
The Obama administration has picked a fight with Fox News for the last few months. They have sent out their top guns Rahm Emmanuel and David Axelrod the other day to do some of his dirty work. They both claimed that Fox News was not a legitimate news organization. Obama himself has constantly whined about the coverage he gets from Fox News. You see the state run media has fallen in line like nice little boys and Obama can do no wrong. Not the case at Fox News. Fox is the bad one here for presenting both sides of the story. But Fox does this only during their opinion based programming. They always bring someone of the opposing view which is more than I can say about the other networks. But you see when reporting the news there are not two sides to a story. News networks are supposed to report the story as it is and we the viewers decide. That is why Fox's motto is "WE REPORT, YOU DECIDE." Their job is not to give us their perspective on the story. Their job is to report the news. That is why there was little coverage on Van Jones, Acorn and the other damaging stories out there. If they report on these things it looks really bad for this administration. So they have stayed away from pieces that would hurt Obama. Fox News has not and have reported on these scandals because it is their job to inform the public on any developing story. They do not decide for us what we should and should not hear about this administration. My friends the Acorn story was a big one yet the state run media did not report on it. This is very dangerous. We cannot let any administration control the Press. Our liberties/freedom are eroding right before our eyes and some Americans just don't care. They are too busy listening to shows like Jerry Springer and American Idol. Now why would an administration pick a fight with a major news network? That does not make sense and is a losing battle every single time. Fox News has more listeners than the rest combined. Yet who is advising Obama to continue this nonsense? Why does he insult the viewers of Fox News when he is the President of all Americans not just of those that agree with him. There are many independent voters with no party affiliation who listen to Fox. My take is that this is all a SMOKE SCREEN to pass his HEALTHCARE bill. The lights have been turned off and his advisers want him to continue wasting all this positive energy on something that is actually helping Fox News. Their ratings have sky rocketed. Why do they continue to do this? Because when the lights are turned back on this Government run Healthcare Bill will have passed. This is his most important piece of legislation and he has promised over and over again that before the end of the year we will have a Government run Healthcare program. He has placed all his eggs in one basket and there is no turning back. Our freedom to choose which healthcare package is good for our families will have been taken from us. And we all know that the Government cannot run anything yet some Bubbas Americans are letting this happen. We are losing our freedoms and if he is there for two terms America will not look the same. Our men and women have fought wars throughout the years to preserve our freedom. We cannot let one man steal these from us. It is our choice to act or pay the consequences later, Stay tuned...

Very well said, simply put "But you see when reporting the news there are not two sides to a story." This is a practice that has escaped our LIBERAL counter parts for years. It makes you respect our former LEADER who through lies and deceit still made himself available to the very people who wanted nothing but his failure. Because unlike Barry, President Bush was Presidential and knew he had to answer to the toughest of questions even when the truth would drive his ratings down the toilet. Mr. Obama is not willing to do this and is only interested in winning this popularity contest he has so successfully done. And to be honest with you why should he? He has been babied and put on a pedestal where most of the public is entralled with his celebrity rather than looking for answers. Unfortunately for President Bush, the media wasn't as kind to him. And what is disconserting about this man is he is willing to share his conversation with known killers and terrorist yet FOX NEWS just doesn't deserve his prescence. What is dissapointing is an appearance on Jay Leno and David Letterman was more appealing to him because fame and notoriety interest him more that solutions to our deepest problems. He rather share a laugh with a "studio audience" then share the truth with the american public.
ReplyDeleteIt's so easy to be the "Monday Morning Quarterback" on all OUR President does. All the complaints. So since Obama has been president nothing has changed for the good? Helping stop foreclosures, job creations, step to extending benefits to those millions americans who have lost their jobs due to the last administrations lack of regulations including the Democrats in Congress who didn't care. It's a mess on the hill. Obama stepped into a PIG Pen. Give the man a break, we gave Bush 8 years, you'll can't give Obama 10 months. Is there ONE thing? Help me understand, has FOX reported anything that he has done that has helped this country. Please inform me cause I must have missed it.
ReplyDeleteMy posting had to do with the Obama administration trying to control the Press. There is no place for any administration Republican or Democrat to decide whether a news network is legitimate or not. News reporting should be non-biased. News reporting has nothing to do with whether Fox has reported anything that he has done to help this country. Now to address that point I will tell you that Fox has another motto, "FAIR AND BALANCED." The place for those types of comments are in their Opinion Based Programming. I can honestly tell you that during that type of programming Fox always has both points of views. They always have a Liberal or two sit in to debate the issues. Do the names Bob Beckel, Juan Williams, Geraldo Rivera, Lanny Davis and other Democratic strategists ring a bell. Those Opinion based shows which is not the news are the following...Sean Hannity, The O'Reilly Factor, Glen Beck, Greta Van Susteren, Geraldo and others. Both sides are represented on these shows. I am sure there we have heard the opposing views and whether Obama has done anything right the last 10 months. My posting spoke about this administration discrediting a major news network. This has never been done before by any administration. Thanks for your comments and for contributing to my Blog.
