"Fox News pushes "a point of view that I disagree with. It's a point of view that I think is ultimately destructive for the long-term growth of a country that has a vibrant middle class and is competitive in the world," Obama said....."

As an American, Obama has a right to his opinion and freedom of speech to express his opinion.

Or is this against the laws dictated by Fox News?

He's just stating the truth.

Anybody can go here for a detailed analysis using FOX's own broadcasts.

I think having a major infotainment outlet dedicated to getting one party in power is destructive.

Sharron Angle explains exactly how much money a Fox appearance makes her - War Room - Salon.com

"I’m going on Bill O’Reilly the 16th. They say, "Bill O’Reilly, you better watch out for that guy, he’s not necessarily a friendly" ... Doesn’t matter, his audience is friendly, and if I can get an opportunity to say that at least once on his show -- when I said it on Sean Hannity’s television show we made $40,000 before we even got out of the studio in New York."

As a person who is sitting in our WH he is suppose to have class and not try to bagger the TOP RATED channel on TV.

If they were at the bottom with CNN and NBC I could see that, but of course they have all the top shows and are at the top in rating by more then 4 to 1 to its nearest competitor.

What is destructive is his massive failures and mistakes. He need to take a look in the mirror to see the real problem in America today.

It's not like it's a secret that fox news & it's minions have their own definition of patriotism & they're pretty effective at skewing reality to easily sway their followers. Sad really that people actually believe the hysteria they're being told to feel.

Obama doesn't like that fact that Fox News is destructive to his agenda and his presidency. He doesn't care about this country, Obama only cares about power and Obama.
