Obama has just made a big confession. He said, "I have a LOT to HIDE, and Fox is the only threat I have that they will tell the truth about me. I must shut them down." He has nothing to worry with the rest of the liberal press. They don't want to tell the truth. They want to coddle Obama.............Now, what's in it for him?????

I applaud Obama for not legitimizing Fox's position as the propganda machine it is. Please provide a few news items that Fox accurately reported. Start with these: WMD in Iraq, global warming science, health care"death panels," the Tea Party rallies. I personally recall Shep. Smith reporting on a climate change issue and he totally missed the science that he thought he was paraphrasing. I loss all respect for him at that point. The only personality on Fox worth a professional journalist title is Chris Wallace, and even he whines too much.

There is no liberal press, just conservative fear and inequality as demonstrated by science. Why doesn't Fox report on that fact? The science journals have laid out the science behind conservative political cognitive motivation.Why don't conservtives embrace science?

* The Senate will debate defense funding on the floor, where Republicans are livid that Democrats attached a hate-crimes amendment to the Pentagon funding bill.

Leave it to the Dems to take something as serious as defense funding, and screw it up with some silly social issue. What's next? Will they make it a hate-crime if you vote for someone other than obama? Sometimes it seems like they're competing to see who can come up with the silliest or most destructive bills to waste their time, and our money on.

That crowd in DC, both Dems and Repubs, should be replaced ASAP. The whole bunch reminds me of a bunch of hob nobbing high brow pompus jerks! They are so far removed form our lifestyles and our way of thinking that they couldn't possibly have a clue. I don't feel as though they listin to the very people that put them in office. They seem to have forgotten three very important words, "We The People". I'm so fed up with the giving away of MY money, and the giving away of our country! People, we have a very seriuos problem! We better wake up! The debt that we have gone in since this president took office scares me to death!

Please provide any news agency that reports the ENTIRE truth. They only know what they are told!

"...Tucker Carlson writes in the Daily Beast that many in the press have been "shamefully silent" as the White House has frozen out their brothers and sisters in the fourth estate from Fox News. The Capitolist thinks he has a point."

***************************************

Then why isn't there more outrage? It isn't enough to "think he has a point."

Speak out! Protest!

This affects us all, not just FOX News. Silence can be construed as consent. Everybody understands the value of freedom of speech. Please stop groveling, press members! Speak out against this blatant affront on our liberties!

Obama will need a good shower after that dirty meeting

I do feel Tucker is right on in his assessment of the treatment of FOX news. It is an outrage. Instead of arguing if fox news is number one, real news etc. etc. we should all be concerned with the fact that a president of the US would wage war on a network. I personally believe Obama has lost all his dignity, among other things.

I do listen to a number of news outlets. C-SPAN is still first on my list as far as balance. They have open lines for all viewpoints.

CNN mostly features commentators from all view points and ALLOWS them to share their varying perspectives.
The problem with FOX is that the majority of the commentators are rigidly one-sided. Even its "news" shows always end up on negatives about one side (you know which one). When someone starts saying something that is contrary to what FOX's position is, the hosts tend to cut the person off.

redpan,
Hate crime bills are "silly'? Enough said there. I would think defense and hate crimes should be high priority and garner quick bipartisan support.

scallop,
You vote everybody out and you replace them with who? You, me, and all of us crazies out here, right?

I applaud the review of czars in this administration. Let's all be ready for the outcome. Czars are not new, but if there is a need to review, that's just fine with me.

I applaud the freeze on the bailed-out firms (targeted to those firms which have not paid back their loans, by the way). If that isn't common sense and fiscal responsibility, I don't know what is. This move by the federal government should be supported by all parties. Pay the taxpayer back before you start taking out million-dollar bonuses for yourselves.
It's not government over reach; it's pay back time to taxpayers. No brainer. (Now go listen to FOX's take on this and you'll see why we say FOX is one-sided. Just go listen.)

Tammy,
Nobody's shutting FOX down. Are you going to force others to speak in defense of FOX? I thought we had freedom of speech -- which means choose and speak on what you find worthy of commenting on. Maybe, Pat wants to and others don't. Again, we have freedom to choose and speak.
