“White House Says Fox Is Not A News Network”

October 11, 2009 - 4:04 pm - by Ed Driscoll

White House communications director Anita Dunn loses it again, has yet another Alinsky moment:

“I think what is fair to say about FOX and certainly the way we view it is that it really is more a wing of the Republican Party…[When President Obama] goes on FOX, he understands that he is not going on — it really is not a news network at this point. He’s going to debate the opposition.”

So said White House communications director Anita Dunn on Sunday’s “Reliable Sources” in what appeared to be a shameful extension of her attack on Fox reported by NewsBusters’ Lachlan Markay Thursday.

Three days later, Dunn was almost seething with contempt as she discussed America’s leading cable news network with host Howard Kurtz.

    The White House is just saying that it is no longer going to enable conservatives to lie to themselves. If they want to label propaganda as news they can do it on their own. The administration is no longer going to go along with it. Hate radio and Fox news are not good for this nation. They are like Joe McCarthy. They distract us from the true issues. People can wrap themselves in their ignorance as long as they want. It will only hurt them in the long run. Conservatives are good at bouncing back, however. It only took six years to go from Nixon to Reagan. Return to the truth.
