Second, free speech is not under attack. It's this hate filled smear campaign which is being exposed.

Post just ONE hate filled smear Fox News said. Just one, can't do it can you dnc tool.

2 dollars, I want my 2 DOLLARS!


Google better off dead

3m, There you go again mentioning that SILLY little word -- "FACTS". Will you one day please enlighten us with the true FACTS as you see them because so far I have heard none. Also Please provide links.

As of now you keep sounding like my 8 year old son argueing with his 10 year old brother. "You stink. Your wrong because I said so. Republicans hate America and so on...."

"sound and prudent judgment based on a simple perception of the situation or facts" if you have it then it doesn't matter where you get your news...you will be able to see things as they really are. for instance...is insuring an additional 20 million or so people worth adding another trillion dollars to our debt and possibly bankrupting the country? if you have any amount of common sense you will know the correct answer. if you dont then you are probably cheerleading for nationalized healthcare.

I run a good court that condemns scoundrels of all walks of life.
But let me reiterate, my conclusions are very much my own and do not necessarily reflect those of Fox News.
Let's take another example of one of my court's rulings.
NAMBLA.
If one is unable or unwilling to completely condemn this organization for what it is, than under my gavel (it's really just a cooking spoon) such person is guilty of pedophilia regardless of whether they have, do, or ever will physically engage in this deplorable act.
The court of shuttin down finds that they have the desire - just as bad.
It's final - sorry...

Are you getting it now, O purveyor of fairy dust and magic beans? Fox News doesn't tell me how to think - it's all me!

JC hush!!!

Hmmm, This situation looks like a reality TV version of the Wizard of Oz - but without the happy ending.

Wiz = POTUS
Toto = FoxNews
Dorothy = American citizens
Tin Man, Lion, Scarecrow = Those in Denial of what this Admin wants to Accomplish.

Does anybody think that the crying (Fox News is Talk Radio), finger pointing The protestors don't represent America, excuses making (It's Bush's Fault!!), and lying (The Stimulus is Working!!!), is bad now. Wait until November 2010.
The rest of the World is watching us like a bad soap opera. Its embarrasing.

The WH confusion is easy to understand. The Obama-enslaved media never actually offers any real news, just slanted opinion pieces, so it's only natural that they judge Fox based on *their* opinion shows. The WH lackeys probably can't fathom what the rest of Fox News' programming even is.

We could get a president and a congress that understands who they work for, restore the republic, tell the environmentalists to back off and let the oil companies drill where we can get away from foreign influence, secure our border and maybe even bring our guys home in honor! Restore the American people's faith in their representatives, have policies that encourage business and job growth resulting in increased tax revenues in combination with stopping all this crap being initiated from going into effect so we can start bringing the national debt under control and restore our Nation's credit rating. Tell the world if you want to do business with us fine, but we will no longer kiss ass to get that business.

Wouldn't that be nice? Currently I don't know of but one or two in Washington who could accomplish that and they sure aren't in the White House right now.

hey 3mbw,

Joyce and others have repeatedly requested facts to back up your statements. Why do you not answer?

You'd think that when turning on CNN (Cable NEWS Network) I would get news shows, not Lou Dobbs, Larry King, Anderson Cooper...

If it is the White House's intention to snub FNC, they apparently have forgotten that the best way to get a book on the best seller list is for the author to get sued or have the Catholic church ban it.

My guess is they are (a) sending a message to the other news outlets that they will be put on double secret probation if they follow suit, and (b) as someone has already said, this it a diversion to the latest series of WH disasters: the on-going health care debate and Afghanistan policy.

Nonetheless, history suggests that snubbing FNC is certain to send the otherwise oblivious to them out of curiosity.

FWIW: Every time I watch a news program on FNC I am amused at how non-right wing and sometimes silly it is. If I were going for the hard right viewer, I would be much more aggressive in airing items that annoy the left and please the right. I just don't see that going on there. I think they miss regular opportunities to do so.

Same as earlier this week.....

I have said on these forums many times that I do not personally care if fox news is biased or not. It is a private business giving their audience what they want. It's a free country. All that said any notion that their bias does not permiate their "news" division is complete and utter BS. Neal wants examples...

Carl Cameron tells President Bush his family is campaigning all over the state for him. He also posts a blog questioning John Kerry's sexuality. He later says it wasn't meant to be published and that it was only something he did to send to other Fox staffers. Yea...sure thing Mr. Senior WHite House correspondent. No bias there.

Senior Correspondent Eric Shawn is hosting the news desk and has Liz Trotta on who jokes about assasinating Obama. Shawn's reply? Simple little chuckle and "Tell us how you really feel"

Republicans in trouble regularly identified as democrats.

Ensign affair sat on for weeks while they knew about it. The husband contacted them directly and still not a word until after everyoen else broke it and even then it was minimal.

Fox Producers whipping up the crowds for tea party protests to show on the news.

Terrorist fist jabs, madrassas, birth controversies, gay rumors, cocaine rumors all get reported as hard news.

Give it a rest Neal. Your double standard is always there but on this it is way out of whack. By the way when you and other conservatives speak of the liberal bias at other netowrks do you ever limit it to just the "hard news"? Sure thing.

why is neal so fixated on this non-news item?

The war on Fox News is a carefully planned distraction. The White House wants to keep us from hearing about what's going on with health care "reform". It's working, too. See how easy it is to control the media?

Assuming that they'll still HOLD AN ELECTION in 2012, is it possible that we can REJECT and ELIMINATE all these ridiculous and horrific programs that the current administration is trying to put into place?
I mean, if Obama is so dangerous and can wreak such havoc in such a short time, why can't the next guy who becomes President just get rid of all of it? It seems like the government takes forever to do ANYTHING, so it seems like they're gonna run out of time before they manage to drive us into the ground.

Did ya hear Anita Dunn's hubby is getting a job in the White House!!!

And I gotta give the other media guys kudos for refusing to participate in a briefing yesterday (can't remember with who) if the Fox correspondent was not going to be included. Good for them! They realize that abuse on any one of them is bad for the press in general.

And once again, in making this statement, which is basically a non-statement, Obama is saying, "Well, I don't really have an opinion one way or the other and I'm not losing any sleep over it. But I can't help it if everyone who works for me is obsessing about Fox News..."

Fox news and talk radio just go down to one thing to any business, to make a profit. Fox news started, they saw with Rush and the talk radio format the being conservative right wing was a great way of making Fox news to stand out. They are looking at an income group of $50,000 and above. Look at what companies buy the most ads, investment companies, luxury items, and other high price items. Fox is going to report the news to those demographics. If they do not care about the ratings, they could put Al Franklin or other liberal commentators in the line up, but they won't because they know they have a gold mine in the way they have it. Why do you think CNN is trying to be more conservative? The money!!!!

Don't you consider yourselves to be “Liberal”, does suppressing free speech sound “Liberal” to you?

Didn't B. Hussein Obama put his hand on (what, a Koran?) and swear to uphold the Constitution, doesn't that include the 1st amendment and not abridging the rights of a free press and free speech?

It must be very frustrating, being President, yet having to put up with irritants like the Constitution at the same time. I don't know which is worse: Bush never ONCE standing up to defend himself against the leftist media (especially during its active campaign to lose the Iraq war)...or Obama, who basically is so childish that it would not surprise me to see him say, "If FoxNews doesn't stop exposing my disastrous presidency I'll hold my breath and fall down and bump my head and then you'll all be sorry!"
