I’ll tell you. They are foaming at the mouth incensed that a network has journalists and investigators who are skilled and capable of reporting on issues and agendas that this “transparent” administration doesn’t want revealed.

They are enraged that FOX opens the doors and windows for the world to get a glimpse of the administration’s ties to ACORN and political boiler room dealings that are the exact opposite of what the kool-aid train promised. So they waste taxpayer dollars strong arming FOX and attempting to sway advertisers and consumers away from this venue by smearing them.

They preach tolerance out of one side of their mouths but use every in-the-bag media tool available to muzzle any view that credibly opposes theirs.

If they could rewrite the US constitution – which they now call a “living” document – they would tweak in a well crafted clause that would bookend freedom of the press to “acceptable” opposition. Who knows, the new SCOTUS might just hammer that out.

History, unless we ignore it (Iran) or rewrite it, teaches us that controlling or socializing the media ends badly for the citizens.

Ask the journalists, reporters and anchors in the MSM to recite the Journalist’s Creed. Their eyes will glaze over – because they’ve never even read it. Or they will immediately attack you like the White House is doing to FOX- a sign that they fear exposure.

Need proof?!?

TEL AVIV, Israel, Oct. 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — 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. The story, recently reported by Aaron Klein of WND.com, has also been linked to the Drudge Report.

“Very rarely did we communicate through the press anything that we didn’t absolutely control,” said Dunn.

“One of the reasons we did so many of the David Plouffe videos was not just for our supporters, but also because it was a way for us to get our message out without having to actually talk to reporters,” said Dunn, referring to Plouffe, who was Obama’s chief campaign manager.

“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.

My, my…Uncle Joe would be proud!

I was proud that americans finally accepted that a black could be their president. Unfortunately, this president has, in my opinion, set the cause of black people back many generations by his pettiness, his arrogance, and his apparent ignorance. Why doesn’t he address the multitudinous problems facing America instead of wasting time and effort bickering with Fox news. Has he never heard “sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me”? . . Unless there is truth in them….

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Is it that politics tend to corrupt, or that corrupt men tend to become politicians??

I do not want to be a conspiracy theorist; however, my observations make me wonder if some of the concerns voiced in the article about controlling media–especially the internet–aren’t already taking place to a limited degree.

Never before have I been so concerned about the direction our government is headed.

“Never pick a fight with men who buy their ink by the barrel.”

exactly!

Would the modern update be:

“Never argue with FOX,who buys its electrons by the megawatt.”

Anyway,if FOX is so transparent in their bias,and so few viewers….
then why worry about what they say? Why does the WH snub them?
Also if the number of FOX viewers is just as fake as the rigged
deibold votes for republicans, then 2010 and 2012 should be OK? Right?

The revolution WILL be broadcast,just not in the medium you expect.

I would be concerned if it were not for the fact that we have been a de facto plutonium-based currency since 1945.

And here in America, we still can use pits of brass, lead and gilding-metal…ammunition…for paocket-barter “money”.

The game has ALWAYS been about commodities…stuff that is inherently valuable and useful, stuff that takes work just to produce in raw form…any of you ever done any mining? Know how many tons of ore is required to produce an ounce of gold?

A Federal Reserve note is really only valuable for snorting yay-yo, and only an egotistical imbecile sacrifices a quantum of Peruvian Happy Nasal Flakes,(itself a valuable commodity), for the sake of looking like a half-assed big-shot when McDonald’s will give you a smooth-sided and sterile drinking straw at no charge.

Faced with the unprecedented global verdict of no confidence in his handling of America’s economy, the American public’s growing verdict of no confidence in his socialist health care scheme, and his growing unpopularity, it’s no wonder that a self-absorbed and incompetent boob like the Nobel Prize-winning Alleged Hawaiian seeks to distract himself from what he should be doing by this quixotic tilting at Fox News.

Envy.

Fox is getting the public affirmation and support, in the guise of it’s ratings victories, that Obama is losing at the polls and in America’s “prestige” worldwide.

The thing about malignant narcisissists is that they are so very, very petty.

That, and coupled with the arrested emotional adolescence that goy and others so accurately pegged, they are also very tiresomely passive-aggresive.

Sorry for the misquote.

“To us looking at you overseas, your “health care” debate is a huge joke, your stimulus packages are a fatal O/D on “cheap money” that will bite you in the short hairs in the near future. This has nothing to do with ideology – it is all just plain common sense. But too many of you Americans live in the fantasy world of your own exceptionalism, and when the bubbles all start breaking around you, the real world you will see will be depressing in the extreme.”

I agree completely, but ‘just plain common sense’ is something we are in very short supply of in America.
