    President Obama Attacks FOX News

    Posted:
    06/17/09
    Interviewed on CNBC Tuesday, President Obama vented his displeasure with FOX News, the cable network whose own senior vice president of programming has called it "the voice of the opposition" to the Obama administration. Here's Obama:

    "First of all, I've got one television station entirely devoted to attacking my administration."

    Clearly referring to FOX, the president continued:

    "Well, that's a pretty big megaphone," he said. "And you'd be hard-pressed, if you watched the entire day, to find a positive story about me on that front.

    "We welcome people who are asking us some, you know, tough questions," he continued. "And I think that I've been probably as accessible as any president in the first six months -- press conferences, taking questions from reporters, being held accountable, being transparent about what it is that we're trying to do. I think that, actually, the reason that people have been generally positive about what we've tried to do is they feel as if I'm available and willing to answer questions, and we haven't been trying to hide them all."

    What do you think? Is FOX News "devoted to attacking" the Obama administration?
