White House explains its position re FOX “news”

What does the White House think of Fox News? White House communications director Anita Dunn spells it out for Howard Kurtz:

Dunn didn’t quite say it like I would. FOX works hard to make Obama look bad, no matter what he does. Or no matter if Obama didn’t do anything at all, as was the case with Obama award of the Nobel Peace Prize. Truly, what kind of “news” channel would criticize Obama when a prestigious organization over which he had no control awarded him a prize he was not seeking? This is just the latest incident, of course. Dunn spells out a few recent examples too (for many more examples, see NewsHounds and consider a recent FOX abomination–the youtube attached to this article). The bottom line is that an organization that starts with the premise that this sitting president is wrong/evil, it is not a news organization and shouldn’t be treated like one, even though it features a few reporters who sometimes get it right.

What are the teabag protests really about?

What are the teabag protests really about?

Their message is so incredibly incoherent, that it’s clear that these sparsely-attended “protests” weren’t really about what they were supposedly about, at least for many of the protesters. Therefore, we need to explore the subterranean reasons. On Keith Olberman’s show, Janeane Garofalo suggests that what really upsets the teabaggers is that there is a black man in White House. With her theory, Garofalo is echoing one of my suspicions. And check out the blogger who took the microphone at one of the protests and had the protesters eating out of his hand, to demonstrate the incoherence.

Personal smears that have no relevance to government policies - - again.

Brave New Films has put some of FOX’s most groundless attacks against John Kerry alongside some of the most groundless attacks against Barack Obama.  These attacks work, as evidenced by the statistic at the end of the video.

Dialoguing with people with whom we sharply disagree

Barack Obama has often argued that the United States needs to sit down to talk with its avowed enemies.  This willingness to talk outrages many conservatives.   they argue, “How can talking to one’s enemies ever lead to anything worthwhile?”
Well, it might lead to increased understanding of each other’s points of view.  It might reinforce the [...]

No pity for FOX “news”

Quite predictably, FOX didn’ “hear” any of these protesters address any real issues.  That’s because FOX doesn’t want to hear things like “Stop the War” and “Stop the torture.”

FOX got exactly the chant it deserved at the end of this video.   That’s some free speech for you, FOX.  Nonetheless, the studio newscaster is worried about [...]

Because we’re “kicking ass” in Iraq, President Bush should lead a parade through downtown Bagdad

I’m having a bit of trouble understanding all of the newly released reports coming out about Iraq.  Luckily for everyone, when Australia Deputy Prime Minister Mark Vaile recently asked President Bush for an update on Iraq, the President told him “We’re kicking ass.”
OK.  Fair enough.  That sums it up for me.  It’s terrific news and [...]

It’s time to bomb Iran, per FOX

If you somehow haven’t yet figured out how the incessant lies of FOX led us to begin the senseless bloody occupation of Iraq, you can catch it all again. Except it’s about Iran now. This video comparing the FOX campaigns against Iraq and Iran is almost unbelievable. Is there anyone really willing to believe [...]
