FOX News vs Obama . . . Who'll Be The Winner?

Yes and the rest believe CNN and MSNBC does.  I guess it depends on your political ideology what you consider to be news.

Could you elaborate a little here on your assertion? It would be greatly appreciated! I very rarely watch FOX, therefore I'd be greatly interested in learning about FOX's tendentious reporting of the news and its right-wing campaign to discredit President Obama.

Thank you for your comment! Could you please back up your assertion with some facts in order to demonstrate that what you say is true? I noticed that you got 4 (read 'em) check marks for your comment! It is a rare thing that anyone gets more than 3 check marks for comments that are well thought out and grammatically  correct on NP! What's the secret to your comment success? How much do you love Obama? And how far would you go for Obama if he issued lock-step march orders? Would you go to the limit? Do you have the stomach for it?

Can you elaborate and be specific? In other words, what specifically has Fox said about Obama that you disagree with? I'm looking for direct and specific verifiable quotes from Fox newscasters (not Fox personalities and commentators such as Glen Beck)  that would serve as evidence that Fox News is always and everywhere more biased in its reporting than CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc. I not only throw this challenge out to you, but I throw it out to everyone that  makes broad and sweeping assertions (often to the point of the hysterical) about how biased Fox News is. It's plain for all to see that the Obama administration and its fanatical supporters are engaged in an all-out effort to shut up Obama critics. The cheap-shot and under-handed tactics on the part of the Obama Administration to stifle free speech and marginalize its critics is not going to work. It's only going to alienate more and more Americans from Obama and his administration.

Fox News has a news team and an opinion team..The two are different and have different rules. Its just like a newspaper, you should try reading one

Fox news does not need to "prop up its sagging ratings" since they are growing ever popular due to the general public growing tired of the state run media (like the bbc in the UK) repeating white house talking points and not specifically addressing the concerns  of working people.O Reilly whom you probably hate blows the doors off of of all the other news/commentary shows put together so stop whining and deal with it. The days of the left leaning media controlling what the public gets as news are over. You could always go back to the UK and live under Sharia law

The same questions could be asked about the other news agencies.  It helps to let the remote walk around the available channels.  Eveyone knows what Glenn Beck and Hannity do.  You would have to be blind not to see that.

FOX brings some of the best researched news during the day.  A lot of times they break stories. 

One should also realize what is happening on MSNBC. 

In any case, if FOX is as bad as you and the Obama Administration says it is, let the viewer, not the White House, make that decision and I think they have.

Cynic: Here's my take on the whole thing: If each one of us were to undertake the laborious and utterly insane task of documenting everything that newscasters, journalists, reporters, and media personalities said on all the major news networks and then made a comparison we'd probably discover that every one of them are guilty of biased reporting to some degree. We'd also find that CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and NBC (to name a few)  personalities have more of a "progressive" viewpoint than those on Fox News. Indeed, what we'd discover, once we scratched the surface, is that the majority of main stream media outlets are somewhat sympathetic to the Obama Administration. And this sympathy doesn't just include the above-mentioned cable and TV outlets--it includes newspapers such as the New York Times, Washington Post, etc.

So here we've got FOX News that employs many objective newscasters, writers, and journalists that present the news without an axe to grind, but because FOX has a number of non-progressive commentators and media personalities, such as Glen Beck, that express views contrary to the Obama administration's views we're told that FOX News is something other than a news outlet along with the implication (to put it in very simple terms) that FOX News is essentially bad and CNN, MSNBC, and the rest, are essentially good. and that CNN and the rest are "fair and balanced" but FOX News is not. Not only do millions of Americans not buy the spiel coming from the Obama Administration in regard to FOX News and talk radio, but when they see Obama and his administration incorporate these type of cheap-shot tactics to stifle his political opposition, they view him and his administration as desperate.

Sara: When it comes to the political world there's probably a lot of "something else" going on that we don't know about! lol! However, in the case of the Obama Administration, it's obvious what's going on. Obama and his administration are the ones creating the nonsense and the ones that appear to be creating the distractions. The administration is not putting any doubt in anyone's mind regarding the credibility of its political opponents. On the contrary! The administration, through its cheap-shot political tactics, is alienating more and more American voters. Who the hell trusts an administration that goes all to pieces under criticism? The administration knows that many (if not most) of its policies won't sit well with the American voter if the details of those policies were held up to scrutiny. And the same goes for those that he picked to be in his administration such as Anita Dunn who openly admitted that she admires the philosophy of Mao Zedong. Only a president that's way out in left field with a hockey stick would surround himself with those such as Anita Dunn. Whether or not one agrees with Marxist and communist ideology, or whether they believe that those two political philosophies have merit is not the point here. The point is that the overwhelming majority of American voters have no use for those philosophies . . . .

@sara star That's a mealy mouthed response if I ever saw one.

If by "real work" you mean "fundamentally changing America" then I am with anyone willing to stop the boy-king and his Marxist minions.

No...Freedom of Speech isn't "on the line"...it's "in practice." The president and his administration have just as much right to criticize those public figures as they have to criticize him.You can't squash one person's ability to speak freely because they're talking bad about someone else, without squashing it for the other. It's a two-way street.

Sarcasm, nanute?

very good.

nanute: If Obama is not engaged in a campaign to stifle free speech on the part of his political opponents, then what do you call it? The administration is doing everything that it can to attack the messenger instead of the message. The whiners are Obama and his administration. It's obvious that the administration is treating FOX News and talk radio as a "vast right wing conspiracy" and not the other way around! Who are we kidding here?  The administration cries foul anytime someone questions its policies. They've played the race card for all that it's worth until it got to the point where people were sick and tired of it. Now the administration is engaged in another cheap-shot tactic to marginalize its political opponents.  If Obama and his administration weren't attempting to pull the wool over the eyes of the American voters then they would  go on FOX News and answer the tough questions. But the administration simply doesn't want to do this because they risk too much exposure. Who will the Obama administration go after next?

....or simply the wisdom of the years, perhaps?
