Obama Team Continues Effort to Isolate Fox News
Shared via

The Obama administration appears to be continuing to wage war against
FOX news. And for reasons that escape most reasoned people outside of
the left wing bubble. Which means only one thing IMO. FOX is getting to
them and continuing to score direct hits on this administration's
policies and personnel choices and they are feeling the heat.
And of all their media detractors at FOX, Glen Beck is presently the
largest thorn in their collective back sides. Which is somewhat funny
when you think about it. Glen Beck is not a journalist nor a reporter,
nor a member of the "FOX news" division. He is a political commentary
specialist and an obvious antagonist to this administration. From his
going after and exposing Van Jones and his socialist and communist
leanings, to his going after and exposing ACORN, Beck has repeatedly
scored successes against this administration with the viewers. And the
White House's attempts to use bully politics and subterfuge to
accomplish its goals in the first year of this presidency are not
escaping Beck or the others.
Of course the Obama administration doesn't see it that way. They see
only one thing when they are looking at their stinging rebukes in the
media and that is the FOX logo. And when they see and hear the name FOX
they literally see red and immediately go on the offensive and attack
FOX regardless of the reality or the evidence to the contrary.
Meanwhile, from Ombama to Axelrod to Emanuel, none of them seem to see
or understand that FOX is a leading news organization for one reason
and one reason only, they are fair and balanced when it comes to their
news division and their news coverage. But the Obama team fails to
either see or separate the two entities of FOX news and FOX's
personality commentary.
When Obama and his team of Chicago bullies looks out across the media
landscape each day, all they see or hear are the commentary people like
Hannity and O'Rielly and Beck of FOX. Never mind that the cable network
that they consider "news" (CNN) is consistently in the bottom of the
ratings with the American people or that they too have their commentary
people.
I literally look for these attacks by the Obama administrations to
continue and ultimately left unchecked, one or the other (either CNN or
MSNBC) will be given the official nod from this White House as the
official news agency recognized by this administration. Shades of the
propaganda ministry of the eras of the Weimark Republic and the
politbureau if you ask me.
Those like the FOX commentators and those in conservative talk radio
really give this president and his people fits and the only way they
know to deal with that is to attempt to ostracize and shut out FOX.
Which isn't working. But I'll wager? That they absolutely love the
likes of Keith Obermann, Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews over at 1600
Pennsylvania Avenue.
