Bush Syndrome Recycled to Fox News
On Michelle Malkin’s website the radical Left, the hate America Democrats, the hate America Media, and Obama Admin. and his hate America cabal of Czars have directed their hate Bush syndrome to the only Media outlet speaking truth left in America—Fox News.
Sounds a lot like Hugo Chavez’s takeover of Venezuela’s Media to me.
The following is Michelle’s article:
By Michelle Malkin • October 13, 2009 08:29 AM Has the waahmbulance arrived at the White House yet? Because the taxpayer-subsidized whining is getting really old:
“Calling Fox News “a wing of the Republican Party,” the Obama administration on Sunday escalated its war of words against the channel, even as observers questioned the wisdom of a White House war on a news organization. “What I think is fair to say about Fox — and certainly it’s the way we view it — is that it really is more a wing of the Republican Party,” said Anita Dunn, White House communications director, on CNN. “They take their talking points, put them on the air; take their opposition research, put them on the air. And that’s fine. But let’s not pretend they’re a news network the way CNN is.”
Fox News senior vice president Michael Clemente, who likens the channel to a newspaper with separate sections on straight news and commentary, suggested White House officials were intentionally conflating opinion show hosts like Glenn Beck with news reporters like Major Garrett. “It’s astounding the White House cannot distinguish between news and opinion programming,” Clemente said. “It seems self-serving on their part.”
…In recent weeks, the White House has begun using its government blog to directly attack what it called “Fox lies.”
…Dunn used an appearance on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” over the weekend to complain about Fox News’ coverage of the Obama presidential campaign a year ago.”
Fox News points out that “a study by the Pew Research Center showed that 40 percent of Fox News stories on Obama in the last six weeks of the campaign were negative. Similarly, 40 percent of Fox News’ stories on Obama’s Republican opponent, Sen. John McCain, were negative. On CNN, by contrast, there was a 22-point disparity in the percentage of negative stories on Obama (39 percent) and McCain (61 percent). The disparity was even greater at MSNBC, according to Pew, where just 14 percent of Obama stories were negative, compared to a whopping 73 percent of McCain stories — a spread of 59 points.” Perhaps if FNC started fact-checking SNL skits critical of Obama, the White House would start considering it a real “news network the way CNN is.”
When will America wake up and open their eyes? The writing is on the wall!
