Previous administrations have frozen out individual reporters or a single news organization. Never before has an administration attempted to intimidate all news outlets into only reporting the news they like. This is the most blatant attempt to circumvent the first amendment, guarantee of freedom of speech or of the press. Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod have warned other media outlets to not pick up stories from Fox News.
This came after the White House director of communications revealed how they were controlling the message. (Shown in a video, only on Fox) Fox exposed Obama supporter, ACORN, which caused congress to vote to cut off funds. Fox also exposed, the radical Van Jones, Obama's Green Jobs Czar, causing his resignation. Fox also has the audacity to question the credibility of other Obama appointees.(all with video evidence) This administration is allergic to the truth and is bent on guaranteeing the truth. While you might not agree with Fox presentations or even their politics the Constitution must have meaning and it must not be ignored.
In the past the other news organizations would have howled in outrage. Why not now? There are two explanations. More people are now switching to Fox to get their news. The other, more devious reason is, they are hoping this administration will act to control the internet, thus eliminating that source of news. Even the most ardent Obama supporter should be questioning the wisdom of allowing the destruction of the first amendment to the United States Constitution. Particularly when so many controversial pieces of legislation are being considered that could impact the lives of every American, this can not be allowed to happen.
Rahm and Axlerod warned other news outlets to NOT CARRY Fox stories????
ReplyDeleteOf course they will dutifully obey.
FOX News turns information into misinformation. Can't blame the White House for trying to steer people away from them.

ReplyDeleteDon't just make a statement like that and not give any examples. Beck put a phone on his set for the White House to call and correct any errors in his reports. To date the phone has yet to ring. Obama has managed to have the most corrupt administration in the history of the U.S. and he has only been in office for 9 months. He has a variety of corrupt people in his administration from tax cheats to self avowed communist to now at least two people who like Mao, the former communist Chinese leader attributed to have killed a minimum of 40 million people.
Is this the change you people voted for.
Yes, don't take your stories from Fox news, otherwise you'd find stories about avowed Communists, Mao inspirations, and ACORN's misdeeds, we don't want the people to find out about that. Don't watch FOX news because they might reveal what we're up to...misinformation is coming out of everywhere else, the White House doesn't dispute the news coming from FOX, they're disputing the fact that they actual report it. Just like Joe does in Salisbury.
ReplyDeleteI really can't believe there are people out there that buy into the crap that The Obama administration is doing. I garuntee you the same people who are trying to defend him are the the people who don't take time out of their day to read up on the health care plan or actually watch speeches. Anyone who has spoken in public for the Obama Admin. beats around the bush doesn't get to the point at all. They simply use metaphors that really if you break them down do not make any sense what so ever. Ok lets defend a women who said blatenly on national television that she admired Mao. Now if it was the same lady saying she admired Hitler (who only killed about an eighth more people than Mao because he reigned longer) the entire nation would have flipped the script. We sure do have some uneducated people out there.
ReplyDeleteYou never hear much criticism from people who watch FOX only from those who don't . I guess the truth is hard to accept!!!
ReplyDelete11:12 If the President needs to comment on every moronic outburst, perhaps he should comment on here as well.
ReplyDeletehe can't comment on moronic outbursts because every entire speach he has ever done has been a moronic outburst. He is nothing but someone else's puppet but of course we will not know who is the actual man in charge until his plan works out and we have no choice but to follow orders. Speak how the government wants you to speak. Walk how they want you to walk. And do everything you can to benefit them not yourself. That is how this country will end up if people do not open their eyes up and see whats going on.
ReplyDeleteIt's quite ironic that one who states "We sure do have some uneducated people out there." is one to have spelling and grammatical errors themselves. Too much time spent watching FOX News and not enough time reading about history, perhaps.
ReplyDeleteIf Obama does answer a question it's proven later to be a lie !
ReplyDeleteYou know what is very ironic the same person downing Fox news is the same one with no proof to back up his statement. Opposed to debating the issue at hand this same person resorts to pointing out grammatical errors, which apparently has a lot to do with historical education. Having a mediocre vocabulary still is not backing up your point about FOX news at all. The typical Obama supporter is here in this forum ladies and gentlemen. Quick to criticize anyone bashing their bandwagon of Obama supporters but with no evidence to debate with. You can continue to bash my "grammitical errors", while I continue to bash your hero im ashamed to call my president. Better luck next time.
ReplyDeleteThe Obama faithful strawmen (NO BRAINS) play follow the Obamesiah down the road to oblivion. The rest of us have only begun to fight.

ReplyDeleteNow we are worried about grammatical and spelling errors on a blog. Is that all you guys have to turn to when you can't defend your boys piss poor policies?
Sometimes I feel like a mushroom....kept in the dark and fed bulls..t! We need a leader in the country to sort this out before it is too late. If we can see this much of what is going on in Washington, can you imagine what else is going on behind the closed ,locked door?
ReplyDeleteI am reading all this for the 1st time.Wow. Some times I vote for a demcrat sometimes for a rep. I am a good judge of people. When I hear some one speak I read them very well.I always have and I'm never wrong. FOLKS please listen to me-We are in trouble here! If you don't believe me try to remove your anger its gets in the way. Get your information from all media sources then make your judgement. In all your hearts out there deep down you know America is in trouble with this leader.
ReplyDelete10:31 Well said!
ReplyDeleteIt seems that the Obama supporters fall into a couple of groups.
Blacks that are going to support him no matter what because he's black.
Democrats that are going to support him no matter what because he's Democrat.
And people that what free handout from the Government because they're too lazy to work.
10:31 Said it very well. In your heart of hearts you know that electing this guy was a big mistake for this country.
Free handouts from a tyranical government is not free!
These Obama supporters are like alcoholics in denial. It is obvious they have no desire to sober up. When Glenn Beck shows a video of the radical's speaking they are either not watching or can't see or hear it through their drugged haze.
ReplyDeleteWhere is Obama Anonymous for liberals?
