Fox News Breaks From Obama In Order To Criticize Obama
There is no question why all three cable news channels carried the recent discussion between Obama and House Republicans – it was remarkably entertaining television. One cable news channel chose to break early from the coverage however, and, judged by ratings, it just so happens to be the most influential. Fox News interrupted the live feed to claim that the President was “combative”, and that Obama “acknowledged a couple of mistakes.” Maybe bipartisanship isn’t good for cable news?
Both Obama and House GOP deserve credit for two thing sorely missing in today’s toxic political climate: civility and transparency. Both MSNBC and CNN stayed with the compelling broadcast through to its end. Fox News however, cut from the broadcast at 1:11, over 20 minutes before it ended. Sadly, the last 20 minutes of the event dealt almost exclusively with bipartisanship and the ending the demonization from both parties, which Obama claimed, “would lead to mutual destruction.”
Dayside news host Trace Gallagher had on Bret Baier to analyze the discussion while it was still proceeding. Perhaps also worth noting is that negative tone of the coverage of this event: Gallagher basically presented the dialog with “there was a little bit of lecturing there and the president was a little bit combative at times.” See for yourself in the video below:
