People hear what they want to hear and 18-23% want to hear that there are other reasons to hate Obama other than his race. That way they aren't racist.

I'm not a racist but............

Nice attempt to deflect the legitimate criticism towards the lunatic fringe we have occupying the White House

There are so many reasons not to like Obama and his den of thieves, race doesn't begin to play into it.

P.S. Al Sharpton loves you.

It's basically TIME... they're both as bland as can be. "Newspeak" funny but doesnt apply.

True

White housing going after a news channel sure does make me feel like my right to free speech is protected

Jadex, Faux told you the White House representatives were "going after" them, but they were not and did not. Axelrod and Emanuel both simply answered questions put to them -- one tacked-on question -- at the end of their shows. They did not bring up the topic of Faux. They both answered with basically the same comment: that Faux is not a news organization. Axelrod said that "we" would go on Faux, and Emanuel on his show pointed out what actually does occupy the attention of the WH. (Hint: it aint Faux.)

So because you all only watch/read Faux, you have a skewed perception of what actually happened... of reality.

Your comment, "...sure does make me feel like my right to free speech is protected" -- that's EXACTLY what Faux wants you to take away.

You would think these fools on the left would be insulted by a liar like hussein obama that keeps saying he is transparent when he is anything but transparent. It's like they like to be lied to.
Fox News is real news. That should be followed by a sit-com style laugh track. Fox News caters to the non-thinking, paranoid buffoons. Fox News leads their viewers around by their noses. They have everything reduced to the easy-to-understand simplistics: everyone who isn't like me is a commie and hates America.
Since when did these people demand the truth about anything?

Default Classic Lie from FoxNews:

The headline: "WH Admits: We 'Control' News Media"

The "article" (picked up from WND):
President Obama's presidential campaign focused on "making" the news media cover certain issues while rarely communicating anything to the press unless it was "controlled," White House Communications Director Anita Dunn disclosed to the Dominican government at a videotaped conference.

"Very rarely did we communicate through the press anything that we didn't absolutely control," said Dunn READ MORE
And it's that "READ MORE" where Faux proves it has no respect for its readers. Because when you click "READ MORE", you're sent to the original article at WND which finally admits -- below the fold of course -- that Dunn was speaking on January 12 about how the Obama team communicated DURING HIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.

Nothing to do with the present day or present circumstances. EVERYTHING to do with Faux et al. advancing their game that they're being attacked by the WH.

FoxNation | WH Admits: We 'Control' News Media (http://www.thefoxnation.com/white-house/2009/10/18/wh-admits-we-control-news-media - broken link)

This is just the most recent example I see of their standard operating procedure which has been called to your attention myriad times on this forum.

So Faux viewers and readers... and WND fans... do you really like being LIED TO like this... being so blatantly disrespected?

Fox has no credibility according to the Court so why bother repeating their OPINION

So it worked SO WELL to get Obama elected, now all of a sudden, they are NOT going to do that anymore to get their message across?
