Is Obama right?

Why does he single-out Fox?

ITT: Liberals say yes while conservatives say no.

Obviously, I say yes. :P

Yay, fireworks! :Dghoklebutter

Obama is destructive to America, not Fox news.

Is this the first time a President has made such a claim about a news organization?

What are you talking about, Fox News has always been fair and balanced.

That being said, I don't think Obama commenting about Fox News is real approriate for his position imo.. Especially when he is dealing with alot of problems.. Blaming Fox News is not going to some how win the democrats more voters for midterms coming up.sSubZerOo

These are my thoughts exactly.

I would have thought this was some sort of publicity stunt, but we're talking about Obama here.

Nope...they consistently trounce CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC in the ratings.

[QUOTE="StopThePresses"][QUOTE="SeraphimGoddess"] And torn limbs and pools of blood! :D I agree. Not because Fox News in conservative, but they have just become horribly fear mongering lately, absolutely hypocritical, and completely unable to even give the other side a chance.GabuEx

Fun fact: the more people who watch it, the truer it is.

See I am not so sure if Obama would be the only one.. If it were another democratic president I think the same thing may be said.. Some of the stuff I have seen Fox borderlines fraud.. Like that whole ACORN story.. (NOT DEFENDING ACORN here, but the entire story which led them to being closed was a completely sham of editing and misinformation.. Something that no major news organization should have done. I just don't see it as wise RIGHT now right before mid terms..

And in doing so, are destroying America. :P

He also says that they have the right to do so and that it's a strategy that has been proven to be successful.

that being said how dare he! Fox News is the most trusted news site in America...........according to them.

Given all the fuss about Obama's supposed un-american origins (:lol: ), shouldn't the fact that Fox News is owned, run and was launched by a non-American be a big deal to conservatives too?

According to Fox's logic the only way not to support terrorism is to not watch them.

[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"]

[QUOTE="aransom"]Not just Obama, but big government in general. Fox News can't raise anyone's taxes. Fox News can't take over private companies. Fox News can't shut down oil drilling and put thousands of people out of work. Fox News can't take over healthcare. Fox News can't declare that carbon dioxide, a chemical that all animals exhale and all plants need to live, is pollution. Fox News can't tell you what kind of lightbulbs you have to have, or how much water your toilet can use when you flush it. Fox News can't take away your right to protect yourself with a firearm. Fox News isn't forcing inner city kids into crappy schools. Fox News isn't keeping our border wide open to illegal aliens, drug smugglers, and terrorists. Fox News can't cut our defense budgets.

This is hard to understand how your not linking Obama directly to all this when many consider him synomous with big government.. A government too big is as bad as a government too small.

I find it funny that the mod that has posted in this thread automatically just locked my perfectly legitmate thread topic.

You can certainly give it, but you can't take it.:cry:
