Kim Kardashian Only Watches Fox News, But Thinks President Obama Is Doing “A Really Good Job”

video
» 9 comments

Having achieved nobility status in the reality TV world, Kim Kardashian made her big debut in the political world last weekend at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. A guest of Fox News and Greta Van Susteren, she applauded Fox for being “a very reputable news channel” and confessed it is the only news playing “around the house” when her family gets ready in the morning. And though that may imply certain opinions about the party host, she saved some praise for President Barack Obama, too!

Speaking to CNS News, Kardashian said on Saturday night she was very excited to be part of DC’s biggest party and commended Van Susteren for being kind to her in interviews– through which the two developed a rapport which made Kardashian choose the Fox News invitation to the dinner over CBS’. Asked to assess how well the President is doing two years down the road, Kardashian was diplomatic, calling the 2008 presidential election momentous because it was “the first time that every kid in my family voted” and saying that, given the difficulty of the job, she thought President Obama was doing just fine. The interview, via TVNewser, below:


Besides having friends in cable news and a public opinion of President Obama, Kardashian is also in very good standing with the troops in Iraq, who recently sent her a flag flown in her name and corresponding certificate of honor. Those are some pretty strong political credentials– for a reality TV star, anyway. It’s not like Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino got his dream date to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

    So, Frances is surprised that people can watch Fox News and come away with their own opinions?
    I guess the “We Report, You Decide” slogan is true, and that just confuses the heck out of you left wingers.

    Well her Stepfather, the great olympian Bruce Jenner, is conservative, so there’s hope for her in the long term.

    Yes, because only conservatives become productive members of society

  • MichelleF

  • annejaa

    Well I think she is right in some manner as I also used to watch Fox news and today its the top level news channel with the updated news.Obama had tried to make his promises what he had said at the election.

    Certainly would appear to be true.

    She promotes her shows on Fox News, but I don’t think anyone’s ever accused her of being politically literate. And who cares? That’s one less celebrity trying to tell me how to vote like I should care what they think. And when it comes to Kim Kardashian, the only thing I care about is her bomb ass. God dayum!!!
