HMMMM, I guess we will be seeing George S on the Factor again. He has appeared there a few times. I don’t recall seeing him on MSNBC (has he?).

Even the NYTimes recognizes the Team Obama is losing the battle to FNC. Today’s “not news” talking point will backfire just like it did last week.

As for the GHWB statement – I doubt it will have any affect on MSNBC’s ratings. He is out of power and is being drowned out by the WH war on FNC.

The tack of trying to shame citizens into not watching Fox News will never succeed, but it seems as though this White House is incapable of taking the high road. And once again, some administration official, Anita Dunn this time, has been outed as a big fan of Chairman Mao. Not that the guy was a sicko or anything, or that he was responsible for tens of millions of deaths, nooo…

Obama seems capable of keeping his extremism under wraps, but those he surrounds himself are having a tough go of it.

Dunn’s Mao statement came up on CNN’s morning show and I laughed out loud. Jessica Yelin(sp) immediately parroted the “she was quoting soandso” line; Donna Brazille essentially said Dunn never said it. Thank goodness Bill Bennet was on the panel to keep the lib mediates honest.

I really laughed at Yellin — she is so in the tank.

The more the WH complains about FNC, the more they tell all viewers on any station, that the WH knows that the rest of the media is in the tank and will never question him. And the other networks just lap it up.

Again, I LOL at Yellin and CNN — she is not even subtle about her statements — just repeat the WH talking points without even watching the video.

Yup, and the WH embraced CNN as a real “news” organ because they know that CNN reporters and anchors will speak the words they tell them to speak.

Too funny.

If vilifying one media outlet had any chance of succeeding, the Washington Post would have died at the hands of Richard Nixon. And we all know how that turned out. The saying, ‘Never pick a fight with someone who likes to fight’ pretty much explains how this will go if it continues. For the benefit of Fox News, I hope Anita and Davey continue lobbing volleys in their direction.

I’m glad they’re not backing down. That Fox has been nothing but a propaganda arm of the Republican Party and merely passes on their talking points has been self evident for years.

There’s no comparison to any shows on CNN or MSNBC, who happen to say mean things about Republicans sometimes that are factually true, and they provide the proof.

Creating and promoting a movement they can then report on isn’t journalism, let along their non-stop attacks on Democratic Administrations, and everyone already know it.

Rahm Emanuel: Fox Isn’t a News Organization Because it Has a Perspective

Here’s the video of Rahm Emanuel discussing the war on Fox News:

What the Obama Administration is doing is an insult to the numerous Fox News reporters in the middle east and around the world who put their lives on the line to bring the news to the millions of viewers watching. Are the people at the international desk in the newsroom looking at how they can slant news to the GOP’s favor? Hell no.

The Obama administration should be ashamed of itself. It is not like Steve Centanni was looking to prop up the GOP when he was kidnapped by terrorists.

lol…non of the networks are really “news stations” except Bloomberg. I think everyone knows this by now. The industry has what could be called “news entertainment” with market segmentation by political leaning. MSNBC and CNN make a pathetic attempt to mask the fact that they are “news entertainment” whereas FOX admits its bias and still tries to present true news. FOX is therefore more honest in its approach.

Oh good gawd… You are an arm of the Democratic party, passing on their talking points.

“There’s no comparison to any shows on CNN or MSNBC, who happen to say mean things about Republicans sometimes that are factually true, and they provide the proof.”

Really? Do the words *Rush Limbaugh and Slavery* ring a bell? You might want to rethink your talking points, considering msnbc and CNN both just repeated lies about Rush, sans proof. Olbermann spews his vile hatred nightly. Maddow is nothing but a left wing talking machine. Shultz? Are you kidding me? And Olby’s guest Janeane Garofalo spewing her vile racist teabagger diatribe. Where was their proof?

They did not create the tea party movement. Beck started the 9/12 project, but the tea parties were happening long before that. And they did not start with FOX.

Seriously, put down your left wing talking points, and look into the truth.

Somebody isn’t really watching Fox to know just how wrong he is – and then saying that CNN and MSNBC say mean things that are factually true and providing proof – LOL – try tuning in to Fox, say at about Glenn Beck time every day – and see how wrong you are, or watch Bill O’Reilly maybe.

sarainitaly seems like you are the one parroting the Fox and Republican talking points. Rush, Hannity, Beck and all Fox new sprew their hatred and vitrol. The tea part movement was created by the Republican party and their lobbiest. And Beck started the 9/12 project and then didn’t even show up for his own rally. So put your right wing talking points down and look in the mirror and try to speak the truth

Michael Clemente’s response sounds like a typical reply from a political party operative. Ironic, isn’t it?

“There’s no comparison to any shows on CNN or MSNBC, who happen to say mean things about Republicans sometimes that are factually true, and they provide the proof.”

“Factually true”…..that’s funny. And yes, mean things said on Fox are made up while on your networks they are true. Wow! People on MSNBC have admitted to peeing on themselves when Obama speaks and have openly said they would do anything to get Obama elected. If you want an honest test, just watch a few hours of each and see how many liberals and conservatives have a voice. I can quickly name 12-15 liberals on Fox, I can’t name 12-15 conservatives on all the other networks combined. I’ll use that as a gauge for now.

@Lawyer822
I recognize you Lawyer822. You comment on Huffington Post, don’t you? Hypocrite.
You say sarainitaly is parroting right wing talking points, when all you’re doing is parroting the left wing talking points of: “Fox News bad” and “that darn [insert name of right wing host here] is such a hate-monger.”

The Amateur Hour CLOWNS in this White House are an embarrassment to this nation. What a bunch of low-life, Chicago THUG JERKS! One Term Wonders!!

It’s amazing how right-wingers get so upset when someone attacks Fox News. Such an easy way to get their mouths foaming.

Hey M.. when did Bush 43 attack MSNBC?

keep playing into the antithesis of liberty.. its cool you know

“Hannity, Beck and all Fox new sprew their hatred and vitrol”

Examples?

I agree!! FOX is NOT news. Just an old angry white owner who hates anyone who thinks differently than him. It has a cult following that they use to call themselves legitimate. Someone has to decide that HATE is not the future of america. Alternative opinions are NOT what FOX is about, they are about hate pure and simple.
