[DwightShrute]

The White House’s extraordinary assault on the Fox News Channel will end in tears-and not for Rupert Murdoch, Fox’s owner. Ratings have only been climbing since Obama has started to attack the Fox News Channel. The Retard Obama administration has embarked on a high-risk strategy of shooting the messenger, in effect blaming its plummeting poll ratings on alleged political bias at the number one 24-hour cable news network. As Anita Dunn-White House communications director who says Mao Zedong a mass murderer worst then Adolf Hitler who she said was one of her favorite political philosophers put it in an interview with The New York Times:
“We’re going to treat them the way we would treat an opponent. As they are undertaking a war against Barack Obama and the White House, we don’t need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organizations behave.” No her and Obama want news organizations to kiss his ass and fawn all over him like all the other news organizations do!!!

As Anita Dunn’s statement illustrates, this is an overtly political campaign-and one that is doomed to failure, as it will ensure that even more Americans end up tuning in to Fox shows. The United States is a nation built around the principles of free speech, limited government, and free enterprise, and it is highly unusual for a U.S. administration to launch an authoritarian vendetta against an individual news station. It smacks of mean-spiritedness as well as desperation, and is an approach that is already backfiring, with Fox’s ratings receiving an added boost from the huge publicity. Everybody Obama targets negatively gets a positive boost from it!!! Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, Republicans, Conservatives, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, whoever!!! All the while Obama’s poll numbers are falling fast!!!

Fox News is succeeding in America precisely because it is not afraid to challenge the status quo, and to take on the power of big government. It is unique in broadcast media in going against the grain of the dominant liberal networks, NBC, CBS and ABC, by providing an alternative perspective in a nation where conservatives are still the largest ideological group according to Gallup. Television news in America has for decades been dominated by a left-of-center oligopoly that has not reflected public opinion. That smug arrangement was shattered when Fox opened for business in the mid-1990s.

Fox News has succeeded spectacularly in racing ahead of its rivals in the cable news market, notably CNN and MSNBC. Its evening shows-such as the O’Reilly Factor, Glenn Beck and Hannity-pull in several million viewers compared to just hundreds of thousands on Fox’s competitors. Fox offers a highly opinionated, fast-paced and entertaining brand of political debate that includes all sides of the political aisle. The top hosts may be largely conservative and libertarian (though not necessarily Republican), but the guests frequently are not, creating an adversarial and combative arena that until recently was a rarity in American news coverage. Fox also shows just how stupid liberals are by just putting them on and letting them speak!!!

Fox also benefits from an extraordinary level of professional management that sets the gold standard for cable news organizations. It is a remarkably well-run operation that also projects the American dream, with its proud emphasis on entrepreneurialism, patriotism, and a strong sense of national identity. Fox is unashamedly pro-American, a breath of fresh air in an age when U.S. foreign policy is increasingly weak, muddled and confused. Along with a Federal government that increasingly voices its contempt and hatred for entrepreneurialism, patriotism, the constitution, and traditional American values!!!
The success of Fox News is not driven by any political agenda, as the Obama Administration claims. It is simply doing its job as a news organization by questioning the positions and policies of the elected government and officials of the United States, whoever is in the White House. That is the proper role of the media in a free society, and any attempt by the government to muzzle Fox is a threat to the freedom of all American news outlets, including liberal juggernauts such as The New York Times, NBC and CNN. I still think Fox News is to moderate on it’s positions, but they get more things right then the other news networks. I can’t even stand watching any of the other news networks. They sound like a bunch of drunk whores!!!

No different than the extraordinary assault on donkeys by FOX or MSNBC's extraordinary assault on the elephants.

[DwightShrute]

Really? well we will have to agree to disagree on that Willie

[Willie Bee]

Right, I will agree to see both sides of the story and side with the truth, and if you disagree with that approach then so be it.

[andywend]

For 8 straight years, liberal blowhards like Keith Olbermann called Bush every name in the book and did so on a daily basis. He would use words like "murderer", "liar", "Bush is an idiot" and all of his liberal viewers cheered him on.

Many other prominent democrats also did the same including Harry Reid (majority leader in the Senate). When President Bush was made aware of these heinous remarks, he replied that free speech is what makes our country great. He went on to say he has no problem whatsoever with people disagreeing with him but should do so respectfully.

NEVER once did Bush ask MSNBC to be censored.

Fast forward to the Obama administration and liberals began calling for censorship of both Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck only a few short months into his administration.

Liberals have no problem dishing it out but then cry like little girls when one of their own is being attacked.

As far as Glenn Beck calling Barack Obama a racist, I don't see how anyone can attend a church like the one run by Jeremiah Wright for over 20 years and NOT be a racist as its certainly fair to say Jeremiah Wright has an intense dislike for white people.

[DwightShrute]

well said Andy,

let's not forget when Cindy Sheehan protested the war and took a handful people to Bush's ranch. Every media outlet was there covering it like it was some huge story.

George W handled it with class when asked about it.

[jon101]

I am no fan of George W, but I don't like Obama either so that says something.
Anyway, Fox has been exposing the ACORN assjerks forever, and Obama is pissed he isn't scamming anymore.

[Dark Horse]

Fox is reich wing propaganda. Everybody knows that. Let's get some objective news in this country, instead of 'news' that is designed to divide (divide and conquer).

[jon101]

I dunno I have found their breaking news to be more accurate and quicker responding than cnn or msnbc.

Most Americans have been 'potty-trained' to be presented the news in a way that they either agree with or not.

Think about how absurd that concept is. The news is just news. It has no agenda. It doesn't have to be fed to us through colored glasses. And when it is, that is propaganda. Especially when we get a steady diet of it.

Now look at what this type of presentation does to the country. It divides the People, along party lines.

Next questions. Is this a form of 'divide and conquer'? Does anybody benefit from a divided US People? And would anybody stand to lose from a UNITED People?! My answer to all three questions is yes.

Why is 'divide and conquer' so powerful? Because a divided People can't unite against the real enemy. I wrote this somewhere else. Copied and pasted for your consideration.

Amschel Mayer Rothschild (1773-1855): "Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws."

Background: Since 1913 the Fed prints our money. A private bank, that charges the US People interest on printing paper. According to the Constitution, the US government should issue its own money.

Historical references:
Christ threw out the money changers. (Did that make him racist? No. What a question...) He was crucified shortly after.

George Washington and Benjamin Franklin warned against the same elements of financial scheming. Where are they now? On our $1 and $100 bills.

Andrew Jackson considered it his greatest achievement that he "killed the Bank" (an earlier version of the Fed). Where is he now? On our $20 bill.

Abraham Lincoln had begun printing his own government-issued money, to finance the civil war. He was soon assassinated. Where is he now? On our $5 bill.

What is our highest currency? The $100,000 bill. Who is on it? Woodrow Wilson... What did he do? He signed the Fed into existence in 1913...

My friends, the very money in our pockets is a mockery of the ideals this country was founded on! The question is: what are we going to do about it?


"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world, no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men." -Woodrow Wilson, the US president 'honored' on our $100,000 bill.

The above financial scheming was well known to previous generations. But since the media have become powerful enough to brainwash the majority of people, it has become obscured, to the point where it is now easily shrugged off as 'conspiracy theory'.

At the very least you owe it to this country to find out if the house of Rothschild and the Fed are linked... And if you don't know who owns FOX, you may want to look that up to.

Finally, don't you think it funny that the Fed, the privately owned bank that is as federal as 'federal express', is continuously referred to by our media as 'government'? The fact that both the left and right do so, tells the real story. Nitpick the news! Do not let them slip anything by you. They hypnotize by design.

The superficial differences that divide us will instantly be forgotten when we focus our energy instead on throwing out the corrupt financial forces that, at the moment, have this country in a stranglehold. They are the real enemy (but they want you to believe the enemy is a band of cave dwellers in some distant desert). And, unless we fight them, they will destroy our nation, and freedom, from within.

Christian or not, remember that this is an age old theme. Christ was not mysteriously crucified 'for the sins of the people'. It was political. He was executed for having thrown out the money lenders. And now they're sucking the very life out of America.

[jon101]

Well dude I agree but until someone votes out the current criminals, gets rid of the lobbyists, and enacts a fair tax code, I doubt anything will happen.

[Dark Horse]

Someone? This is the responsibility of every individual. It begins with each of us. Educate others. The momentum will build.

The Fed needs to go, and the government needs to print the money. The dominos will fall from there.

[andywend]

Dwight,

George and Laura Bush always treated everyone with respect (even their harshest critics).

They defended the right of all individuals to protest and there certainly were many during his 8 years.

The insults hurled at Bush were far, far worse than any insults hurled at Obama to date and yet Obama and the democrats want to censor Fox News and Rush Limbaugh.

How about that 1990 page bill overseen by Nancy Pelosi socializing our country's medical care system? I wouldn't trust her to clean my toilets let alone have the intelligence to deal with something as complex as medical care.

These democrats are tearing our country apart day by day.

[DwightShrute]

Andy,

Not only is Obama and his democrats tearing our country apart day by day, but so many just want it to happen.

It's like there is a town threatened by a flood and all the towns people gather to fill and place sandbags along the river's bank to help save the town from the flood waters. They work day and night to save this town. Then you got these other guys, let's call them Obamians, who rip away the sandbags because they want the town to be flooded and washed away so that we can start all over again. Change! Spread the wealth. Everyone is the same. The governmenet will take care of you. Destroy everything that made America great.

I am not even American but your country's liberty and everything that the USA stands for is being slowly destroyed by radicals and this horrible president.

Some see it now, some will see it after it's too late and some want it to happen.

[dante1]

Is this your own thought? Must be careful with you.

Not American, that supports your ignorance of political science and history. Do some research and independent studying before you make a donkey out of yourself with stupid comments. You wouldn't know a real radical is he was up your ass. Study the American 60's, then you will discover the meaning of radical.

[DwightShrute]

I love you man!

What makes you think I am male? You assume much that isn't in evidence. One of your many problems.

same goes if you're a woman, or if you used to be a man and now are a woman or **** versa.

Your attempts to out post so that your plagiarized posts fade away and are not bumped is both obvious and useless. I told you, you're easy to read, very easy.

Liberals Were Known as Idiots Back in the 40s

Back then they were for the most part still patriotic, responsible citizens and could be reasoned with and were simply misguided in their thinking process.

Since then the disorder as progressed in the number of people afflicted and has mutated into a disease characterized by fanaticism, irrational behavior, an inability to accept facts contrary to assumptions held, and a complete disregard for individual rights.

Liberals will solve the problems of the disadvantaged by making everyone disadvantaged.

Are you retarded? Really, this above post with no credit given means it is written by you? Do you know this? Was it written by you? If not, that is called plagiarism. Are you aware of this? You are obligated to give credit to the original author? You don't do that. This must mean you are either very very stupid or just don't care. Whatever the reason shame on you.

And again with this patriot bs, if we disagree we are traitors. Fvckin morons.

Time for my break again, can only take you guys in small measure. But, I will be back to remind people about your very bad habits.

[DwightShrute]

Use the little clicky thing beside the computer. It's called a mouse. No, not the rodent but should look something like


then click the blue words with the left part of the 'mouse'. then look for another webpage that will appear somewhere on your screen. Now, screen in this case doesn't doesn't refer to an offensive play in football or a device used to keep bugs from entering a living space but rather the computer screen. Kinda like a television set. It's what you are reading this on!

This is one of many letters written during the Bush years...
http://web.archive.org/web/200805260...s/1043229.aspx

I will give W credit for writing his response tactfully and clearly explaining where they felt there was bias. He also has a point, it's pretty stupid when people misquote you to prove a point of enhance their opinion.

In defense of team Obama's response, no single person has enough time to go through all Fox News broadcasts to be specific and point their bias. Either you see it or you don't.

So what really is the problem? It's happened before with previous pres, but no one really heard about it then... On Fox News guests praised the W for standing up for himself, but it was hardly as big of a topic as it is today with the current administration. Why?

[Indecent]

The success of Fox News is not driven by any political agenda, as the Obama Administration claims. It is simply doing its job as a news organization by questioning the positions and policies of the elected government and officials of the United States, whoever is in the White House.

Hypothetical question... Do you think Bush would be treated the same as Obama on Fox News if they switched places?

[andywend]

Dwight,

Our country needs a lot more people just like you and a lot less liberal trash like Dante. Can you imagine having to sleep next to a troll like her each and every night?

While all that nasty language doesn't sound good coming from a man, it sure looks a lot worse coming from a woman. The odds are certainly strong she's a lesbian because no sane man would ever put up with a bitch like that.
----------------------------------------------------
Indecent, as long as its done with at least some degree of respect, I don't see any problem with honest criticism of the other side.

However, I remember watching clips of Keith Olbermann calling Bush a murderer and all sorts of heinous names with his left-wing entourage cheering on his every word. These same liberals are now going haywire when Glenn Beck calls Obama a racist.

For 8 straight years, conservatives had to put up with obnoxious people like Keith Olbermann and Bill Maher so all of the whiny liberals are going to have to put up with Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck. If they don't like it, its really tough shit for them.

Can't disagree here. If people don't like it, turn off the channel. I just don't think this is as big of a deal as Fox News is making it out to be.

What about the topic of this thread? Olbermann and Maher are not part of the Obama admin and their opinion is irrelevant to this topic. We're talking about Obama's assault, not the assault of the liberal media in the past.

On a side note, I do agree, Bush faced his own share of attacks and insults. He responded in the same way Obama did, although he waited almost 7 years before doing so. Is that the problem? He should have waited longer before saying something?

What makes what is happening right now extraordinary? What makes it an assault? Unless I haven't found the right white house memo/incident, what they said appears as tame as what the Bush administration said during his presidency. This is nothing new....

So what is the difference? Are they saying Fox News must shut down or trying to enact legislation to silence them? What am I missing? Can someone post the exact quote where Obama admin says they want to censor Fox News?

It seems like the same old politician/cable news relationship of the past with a different cable villain, but it seems Fox News and some others are trying their best to blow it way out of proportion. Where is the condemnation for Bush for doing the same thing? Why didn't people discuss Bush's outrageous assault on the liberal news media years ago?

I'm really confused... other than it's another thing to attack Obama for, why is this such a big deal?

Dwight, just wanted to see if I could pull you away from your delightful Obama picture gathering to try to defend the ridiculousness you insist on posting. Addressing any of the above bold text will do.
