Woah, Kyle, this is one of your shriller posts.
-”Worse, though, is that the president’s top advisers think it’s their place to try to undermine any news organization.”

Can you honestly say that Fox has not resorted to all manner of dishonesty in order to undermine the legitimacy of Obama’s presidency? When Fox becomes a responsible new outlet, maybe they’ll be treated as such. It is sweet that you guys rush to the defense of po’ wittle Foxy-woxy though.

Nice thoughtful column. Gives us readers something to chew on.

Would I be correct in saying you are less a conservative & more a Republican as far as political ID goes? That is the impression I get from my perspective as a political conservative but not a Republican.

The Fox/White House mutual name calling is not a big deal. Go back & look at the Nixon White House war on the NY Times, the Washington Post, & CBS. In fact, the Republicans have been at the throat of the NY Times since at least the Pentagon Papers publication. This White House/press war has been a recurring theme throughout US history.

You mention “big-government mentality”. And I would agree it has been running rampant through American political thought for the past 75 years. Everybody sees or perceives problems that they want the Federal government to fix. And way too much of the “big government solution” comes from the political right. For example: two hot button issues, same sex marriage & abortion, all have millions calling for a Federal government solution. (I am going to a meeting this AM & there will be a call for Congress to “fix the same sex marriage problem.”)

If I may be allowed to correct Bill Clinton – “the era of small government is, and has been, over”.

There have been instances where repub. administrations have cried foul over certain content reported by the media, but never have they used the office of President to declare an entire news network illigitment. This is clearly an abuse of power. I do watch Fox as well as other channels. As far as pure reporting of the news, which I would guess is at least 75% of their content, I would say there is not much difference. In almost every case where there is a discussion of issues, Fox has well known liberals appearing alongside conservatives. When it comes to opinion, Fox is clearly biased toward conservatism, just as MSNBC is clearly biased toward liberalism. So as far as I’m concerned if Fox is not a legitimate source of news, none of them are, and compared to historical standards, this may be the case.

I think this attack is purely revenge for Fox’s investigative reporting of ACORN. As the former lawyer for Acorn, Obama has close relations with many Acorn leaders, and I think this was a warning shot to warn any News organization against messing with his buddies. Remember the poor auditor in Sacramento who was fired for a bad report on Obama’s buddy.

The issues Kyle mentions today are abuses of power, but only a couple of many abuses by this admin. I personally think the handling of the bondholders in the GM takeover was the worst. The firing of the president of GM, even though it may have been warrented, was right up there as well, and was the first case in history where a president fired the head of a public company.

I predict this abuse will continue, and get worse as time passes. If you are on Obama’s enemy list, you will be harmed. I also predict that once repubs. are back in office, they will return this behavior in kind since the decency standard will have been lowered.

White House protestations against Fox News Channel would hold water if they were not pointing out to FNC’s OPINION shows. Their NEWS coverage is in my opinion, very good, and it doesn’t drip partisanship, as the ‘news’ coverage in MSNBC, CNN, and the other networks.

Now, the White House is walking in very thin ice here, and also giving FNC a ratings boost they do not really need as they are pounding everyone else to the ground as it is already. I think that if they look hard enough, they may be able to find other things in which to spend time more wisely.

The fair and balanced Fox news was the only network that did not air a major speech on
health care reform by President Obama. Fox news chose to keep their viewers dumb and
uninformed. Fair and Balanced should include the opinion of everyone, especially the
President of the United States. I am glad the White House is not dealing with Fox. They
will never be able to present an intelligent unbiased debate if they are only going to present
one side of the argument. Instead of their slogan being “fair and balanced,” it should be
“Fox news, for the dumb, racist and uninformed. Our ratings are high because we are the

Hi Kyle,

Some especially good cherry picking with regards to Fox.

We both know that Fox is bent on undermining Obama, and that such a mindset is much different thing than actual reporting on an Administration. How could anyone possibly consider the cheerleading that Fox did on behalf of the “tea parties” objective? What if CBS news had orchestrated some faux citizen protests over the Bush Administration’s questionable invasion of a soverign country, then covered those events like a news story? I think Cheney would have gone down there with a gun hisownself.

I’m in agreement with those who think that the President should not have engaged Fox on this matter. But that’s more because the President shouldn’t give them the credit of the debate. There’s really no debate that they’re not a credible news source.
.
What a joke that station is. Their whole editorial principle is based on the old “have you stopped beating your wife” tactic to produce a sensational headline: President Obama Denies That He Has Stopped Beating His Wife. And then Hannity and Beck have something to talk about.

Fox didn’t orchestrate the grassroots tea parties. They reported on them & yes, they cheered on the AMERICAN PEOPLE of all parties, both liberals & conservatives, who agree that govt. spending is TOTALLY out of control, that the govt. is spending $ we do not have, for junk we don’t need, causing unemployment to continue to rise, borrowing $ from countries that don’t like us, jeopardizing our national security, creating a debt that will affect our grandchildren, putting our country at risk of bankruptcy & printing money like crazy that will cause hyperinflation. Fox didn’t call the white nor the black participants racists. That wasn’t objective?
If Fox isn’t the most credible TV news source, why do they have more viewers than all the others combined?

Must the government be involved in every conflict?

The short answer is, NO!

When governance is at its’ best, government should have few conflicts to resolve.

Do even self-professed conservatives like Hatch now subscribe to this idea?

Can’t speak for Senator Hatch but I will say he is wrong.

Kyle, the question you didn’t ask that I believe you should have posed in your blog is the same one essentially asked of President Obama in an ABC interview:

Who determines what is the news or newsworthy?

It certainly isn’t Mr. Obama and those around him nor is it the function of government to say what news is or what the news shall be and what entity or entities shall report it.

Clearly Mr. Obama and his administration have crossed the constitutional line on this one. Rightly, even news outlets considered as liberal have stepped up to the plate – to their credit – in defense of the freedom of the press and the freedom of speech.

It is seldom I have anything kind to say about the liberal media. However, in this evolving case, they have EARNED RESPECTABILITY. Something our President and those of his administration should take special note of in their attempts to depose of their critics and so-called opponents.

It was obvious, at least to me, Bush and those of his administration showed a similar practice of avoiding parts of the press and media that did not favor them. However, even Bush did not go so far as this President and those under him have now gone to muzzle opposing speech and violate the first amendment of the Constitution.

Only the office of the Presidency deserves unmerited respect, a respect for the President MUST BE EARNED!

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

If the BCS were not controlled by such a few people who control the events for personal profits, for their conference, for absolute power over college football, and for announcing a so called legitimate national champion, I would think the government should stay out of private business. However this is not a private business since there are government funds involved. Just like religion in the eyes of the liberals, if one dollar of government funds is involved then you can not have the religion in government public places. You can not have it both ways. The BCS is a sham and is preventing other schools from participating and receiving huge funds. I thought everyone is for everybody to have EQUAL OPPORTUNITY or access.

Re the media in general/White House issue has been put to rest by the media itself in having served notice to Obama and Company that they of the media are not willing to play ball by White House established rules. Meanwhile Fox News becomes more powerful and profitable all to Obama’s chagrin in his administration’s having crossed constitutional lines of protected freedoms of the press and of speech, as the rest of the nation becomes better informed the more Fox exposes this “unsavory bunch” now in and surrounding White House power. Which is probably more damaging to have the court of public opinion rule against Obama and Company than if the Supreme Court had ruled against it unanimously in a first amendment case.

Quite simply: Barrack Hussein Obama and Company, “done stepped in it”.

Hey Jliberal, your fellow mindless Obamabots on the libtard left have FAILED to explain why the RAT party is after Fox News. Go ahead, bedwet that it’s not real news. We really don’t care. Not anymore than you people on the left and what you think is real “news” from CNN, MSNBC, and the New York Times.

Now that we got a little reality out of the way as per usual from liberal land, let’s see what else is going on:

“A poll released over the weekend shows that only 34 percent of Californians approve of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) job performance, down 14 points from March.”

Uh huh, got moonbat?

“TEL AVIV – President Obama’s presidential campaign focused on “making” the news media cover certain issues while rarely communicating anything to the press unless it was “controlled,” White House Communications Director Anita Dunn disclosed to the Dominican government at a videotaped conference. “We just put that out there and made them write what Plouffe had said as opposed to Plouffe doing an interview with a reporter. So it was very much we controlled it as opposed to the press controlled it,” Dunn said.”

Yeah, but make sure you mindless liberal goons go after Fox News dammit!

“WASHINGTON (AP) – What is $1.42 trillion? It’s more than the total national debt for the first 200 years of the Republic, more than the entire economy of India, almost as much as Canada’s, and more than $4,700 for every man, woman and child in the United States. It’s the federal budget deficit for 2009, more than three times the most red ink ever amassed in a single year.”

Somehow the Chicago political machine will spin this in to Bush’s fault. Bank on it.

“WASHINGTON (Reuters) – House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Tuesday new estimates showed a healthcare overhaul drafted by Democrats would reduce the U.S. budget deficit over 10 years and cost less than $900 billion.”

Who ya gonna believe, a San Francisco moonbat or the CBO?

“Rep. Edolphus Towns (D-N.Y.) locked Republicans out of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee room to keep them from meeting when Democrats aren’t present.”

So much for the promise of an open door policy, eh liberals?

“The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 30% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty percent (40%) Strongly Disapprove.”

Not that this president has given the nation anything to believe in other than teleprompter- driven words, right? Right.

I’ll let the Chicago Sun Times say what Obama’s pal, CNN, won’t. Aren’t you glad 47 out of 50 states have had nothing but job LOSSES since that BS “stimulus” package was ramrodded through in such a hurry to curtail said job losses? At least that’s what the left told us:

You’d think it’s October 2008, the final month in the Obama presidential candidacy, rather than October 2009, nine months into the Obama presidency. Yet the Obama White House is in full campaign mode — maybe because it needs to mask the shortcomings of the Obama presidency.

Take, for example, all the talk of inheriting the worst economy since the 1930s crisis. That came in response to the news that the federal deficit hit $1.4 trillion.

Yet just a few months ago, the Obama camp was singing a little different tune. It was under criticism for the $787 billion stimulus package it bulldozed through Congress on grounds that massive spending was needed to keep the unemployment rate from breaching 8 percent. When joblessness hit 9.5 percent in June, Vice President Joe Biden said, “We misread how bad the economy was.”

Dear Farce, You forgot a few numbers.
$1.42 trillion dollars is the ‘09 deficit (how much more the DC bunch is spending over what they tax us for). This will be added to the almost $12 trillion debt we already have, most of which we borrowed from countries that don’t like us very much, one that reciprocates by sending us lead toys & toxic baby formula, & others who hike up the oil we buy from them because we’re too stupid to drill our own oil. This also does not include the $14 trillion dollars the American people paid to the fed. govt. for their social security which the govt. spent on pet projects. This also does not include the $18 1/2 trillions dollars for the prescription drug program which was unfunded. This also does not include the $73 trillion in medicare liability the American people paid which the govt. also did not place into a secure fund but also spent on pet projects. These last 3 add up to $73 trillion in unfunded liabilities. On top of this $119 trillion that our great, great, great, great grandchildren will have to worry about, they’re getting ready to spend maybe another $2 trillion to socialize our health care system & trillions more to implement Cap & Trade/Tax.
Up until now, only American TAXPAYERS (1/3 of Americans) were concerned about the inevitable tax hikes soon to come. When seniors find out there is no $ for social security or Medicare, there will be hell to pay. Medicare will be bankrupt in 7 yrs. The real problem is that the DC bunch spent even more money than they borrowed. They said, “Let’s just print some!” With no gold to back it up, sky-high inflation is just around the corner. When the price of food, clothing, shelter & transportation doubles, even the folks who don’t pay taxes will suffer.
We know there’s states that are insolvent, but few Americans really understand how much financial trouble our fed. govt. is in. Many Americans are depending on the fed. govt. to take care of their financial costs & health care costs in their golden years & are behind this socialized health care bill. If they only knew what is in store for them…….

Compared with 2008, more Americans “conservative” in general, and on issues

PRINCETON, NJ — Conservatives continue to outnumber moderates and liberals in the American populace in 2009, confirming a finding that Gallup first noted in June. Forty percent of Americans describe their political views as conservative, 36% as moderate, and 20% as liberal. This marks a shift from 2005 through 2008, when moderates were tied with conservatives as the most prevalent group.

In 1947, when Mao Tse Tung was being challenged within his own party on his plan to basically take China over – Chiang Kai Shek and the nationalist Chinese held the cities, they had the army, they had the air force, they had everything on their side, and people said how can you win, how can you do this, how can you do this against all of the odds against you, and Mao Tse Tung said: ‘you’ll fight your war and I’ll fight mine’.

Regardless of the method employed, I still see this as an assault on the First Amendment.

Elimination of free speech is a method historically employed by despots to gain absolute power, presently exhibited by countries such as China, Russia, and Cuba, hence the comparison to Communism.

As I stated above every single politician has an issue with a news organization at some time. Every single one. Governor Perdue has done the EXACT SAME THING. He hates the AJC, and has been very vocal about it. Do some research.

As stated by others, Presidents have had battles just like this. Do you ever try and think issues like this out? Is it that concept that hard to grasp that?

Elimination of free speech? This talk is just plain strange. Its the talk of an out of touch segment of the population that repeat things over and over until they think its true. Its a good thing this type of crazy talk is protected.

I have decided to play along. I will play the role of Republican news outlet, “Talon News.” Remember Gannon/Geckert? The fake news reporter the Bush administration planted to ask phony questions at Presidential news conferences? Well I’m going to steal one of his questions and ask……..

“Republican bloggers have painted a very bleak picture of the U.S. Axlefraud and StJ were talking about commies. Axlefraud was talking about the economy being on the verge of collapse. How are we going to work – Obama has said we are going to reach out to these people – how are we going to work with people who seem to have divorced themselves from reality?

Um, why don’t you post an article stating where Purdue says that the AJC is not real news. Also, the good governor never sent out his minions on national tv to try and discredit the AJC.

So DannyX, your stupidity is here for all to see. Again, please move out of your poor mom’s trailer and try and hold down a full-time job.

DannyX, what I find funny is the fact that people like you scoffed when the DOW hit 14,000 yet you are jumping for joy at 9,000.

Also, UNEMPLOYMENT IS AT 10%%%%%%%%. DOES THAT COMPUTE?
PROBABLY NOT.

Obamas poll numbers are at 48% dim wit.
