Obama aides say Fox News should not be treated as a news organization

White House advisers pledged on Sunday to book administration officials on Fox News despite claims by the president's inner circle that the cable network is a GOP mouthpiece whose programming "is geared toward making money." Last week, White House communications director Anita Dunn said Fox News operates "almost as either the research arm or the ...

Who would believe anything obama would say.

He has ZERO credibility.

He should continue his apology tour and apologize to FOX news.

Fox ratings are going up. I never watched any of these guys (Hannity, Beck, O'Reilly) but the time has come to check them out.

Free speech is far more important than Obama's thin skin.

Should the current administration be treated as a real political organization??????????

or leaders of a banana republic????

[Marianne 20]

The aides that are saying this quote Mao and have a warped sense of values for this country. Obama and his tyrannical idiots need to let go of the choke hold they have on the U.S. What will Obama do next, abolish religion?

[Social Justice CPA]

And by the way Obama... what about the highly partisan "news organization" called MSNBC?

Apparently, opinion is ok, but ONLY IF it agrees with the Dictator-Wannabe Obama.

i watch both msnbc and fox news and msnbc is constantly attacking beck hannity and o'riley. does any one else notice this?

why do they attack with no way to back it up beck rarely says anything about the people of msnbc. but msnbc attacks one of those 3 fox news men just about everyday.

maybe if they attack them and i dont know... show some video or audio evidence that proves beck wrong they would get more respect in my eyes. but IMO beck is the voice that our country needs right now and all the other news stations want him cut out of the picture. they want the country to think that he is a lunatic that knows nothing.

but honestly people how often does beck say this is what it is? almost never you know what he does he asks why and no one seems to answer absolutely no one if he was making it all up why has no one came out and said why and given him the reasons?? because it hink he is dead on about most of the things he said and another thing why did obama have interviews with every news station except fox news what is the big man afraid up? certainly not some pesky lying news men...

and i agree with everyone of those 5 posts

Obama is afraid of fox news he knows that they are the ones sheding light on our nation and he wants to keep us in the dark turn the water up slowly like the frogs lol. and fox news is ruining his plans thats why obama said fox should NOT be treated as a news organization because then people will think that they are all liers but i hope it is to late for that

im watching keith olberman right now gues who is the worst for the 35th time in the last 2 months... beck everyone is trying to discredit him but no one and i mean no one answers his most simple guestion WHY?

MSNBC is "news" for those with exceptionally low IQ's.

I agree with Obama on this one; he just did add CNN's right there too. Anyone relying on any Money Based News is going to get their biased opinion. News? No, it is OLD.

The very reason freedom of the press is Constitutional is to keep the government in check.To inform the citizens of governmental is the most important goal of the free press. The News stations that push Obama's agenda don't deserve a 1ST Amendment right. Right now we have all three branches of government hugh positioned Left of center and the media is that last refuge of Checks and Balances. And only Fox News is doing their part to keep the wool from being pulled over the public eye.
FOX IS THE ONLY MAIN STREAM NEWS STATION LEFT. Obama is treading closer and closer to breaking the oath he made to up hold the Constitution. And if he keeps it up that will be grounds for Impeachment.

I discovered Fox news By accident. I answer on another site and got on there political site area to give an opinion and was blasted and labeled "oh your one of those Fax watchers. I normally watch Disc,History,Science Channels. I started to watch Fox and was surprised at the News they had compared to the other stations. I was also surprised at how Fox gets the political Opposition on to do a mini debate. That Never really happens on the other Networks. The Biggest upset for Me was the March on Washington was NEVER covered on any news shows or basic Radio Station, and seconds at best.

I found about the Tea party by accident investigating Stabbings In Inner harbor Md and ran across a site saying Tea parties at the Harbor was a bunch of White racist. mmmmm I went further and said Wait a minute the News is WRONG!!!

So I joined the March and saw First Hand the gross on purpose lack of coverage in news of thousands of Americans Marching on Washington and about ZIP for Coverage. My home Town is 2 hrs away and THEY knew nothing about it. Yet Obama has ALL this News Coverage of a white officer and a beer in Washington. WOW WOW WOW.

I then realized the seriousness of the situation. Its to the Point we NEED an Underground newspaper Just to get BASIC COMPLETE NEWS. The News in the U.S. is really like a Government controlled/censored Media not unlike a Dictatorship Government.

The biggest Scare hear is Millions of Minorities that are illiterate BELIEVE ALL THE LIBERAL NEWS AS GOSPEL. Just Compare the grass roots Reps Americans literacy pound for pound to the Liberal illiteracy and Theres the Big Problem. Easy to fool the mass Dummies. Worked for Hitler.

What i found really disturbing was the administration telling the lib media they should pay no attention to fox news stories. They picked up on acorn because they had no choice. Acorn is obamas baby and the lib media knows it. Obama is angry his pedophile loving safe school czar is going to be takin down soon. By fox reporting on the radicals he has brought into the white house. Van Jones? The other networks ignored it. Cap and trade costing every household $1700.00? Ignored! Copenhagen agreement? Thats next since it should be reported and americans know the truth about what is really at stake when our constitution hating president signs it.

I understood how insane both Networks were after watching the Polls on the last election. FOX continued to have McCain ahead with Obama a sure loss; while CNN did the exact opposite. One of my Son's eccentic College friends would only listen to news from some radio wave link he discovered. We thought he was just a little extreme. What's happening to our Country? What's happened to our Country? After the 9/11 United We Stand & We'll Never Forget with a (in my opinion) another Presidential Betrayal; I for one am perplexed.

Actually I watch Fox all the time and they had McCain and Obama tied at one point(when Palin joined the ticket) But after the attacks on Palin started McCain went down by two points and never really got any closer.
