Another thoughtful, insightful statement. Proof, please, as to the "Neo-Nazi/ fascist ties"?

I would think that a flawed news source would be the subject of investigations into their methods and funding. If the bevy of news organizations losing money to Rupert haven't pressed for this, they get what they deserve. I know Fox has touted several pieces by watchdog organizations where their news has been found to be accurate ,in sharp contrast to most news organizations. The only other president to deem news organizations as "enemies" was Nixon, we all know how well that ended

Or is this against the laws dictated by Fox News?

And of course Obamas' "freedom of speech" trumps the same freedom of others, right?

Once again, he is basically saying that if you disagree with him, just shut up.

Typical egotistic Obama behavior.

The irony is that these same fools have the audacity to question someone else's committment to this country while bowing down to a billionaire Aussie! What dumbazzes!
So, are you inferring that only those that you approve of have the right to ask questions of or criticize the government?

How Obamalike of you.

Nope. Obama did not drag the US into needless wars. Nor are there any "Obamaisms".
He visited al "57" states? Not an Obamaism? Just another example of liberal selective hearing.

Upping the ante in Afghanistan by increasing troop levels? Good thing he ended this war after taking it on as his own.

You really should get some facts before making a statement like you did.

No, blame the elite libs for deciding, without input from anyone, that they and only they know what is best for the entire country, as long as it makes them feel warm and fuzzy. They don't seek information, they declare the superiority (which is evident only in their own minds). Also, you seem comfortable in leaving out the educated and intellectuals who disagree with your point of view.

Only one possible side to your arguement?

The Possible Dangers of Fox News

Most news outlets whether television, newspapers, magazines or websites, have some sort of biased but in recent years many suggest that Fox News has crossed the line.

What frustrates most of it’s critics is that their slogan is “fair and balanced”. An online documentary called “Outfoxed” showcases the increase of dishonest news and ignorance to the truth over the years since it’s inception by interviewing past employees of the political channel and showing memos that suggested which talking points to use during the course of each day.
The Possible Dangers of Fox News | Legal


Has Fox News already donated $1.2M to the O’Donnell campaign?

With Fox News abandoning any semblance of journalism this campaign season and openly sponsoring Republican candidates, the questions may not be as strange as you think.

And here’s why: As Media Matters’ Eric Burns noted last night on Countdown, when Republican candidates like O’Donnell appear on Fox News, they don’t show up to be part of an authentic interview, designed to informed news consumers. They’re there to take part in a GOP infomercial. And they're there, with the help of Fox News, to advertise themselves

Fox News channel’s most popular hosts are Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly. Each of these men host an hour of television a day and seem to stick to only the conservative point of view. Many critics claim to have proven that all three of these men have blatantly lied to their viewers multiple times. A popular website “mediamatter.org” lists many examples of conservatives either lying or being dishonest on a daily basis and Fox News hosts and contributors are frequently used as examples.

I wonder just how the journalists defecting from CNN were able to bring themselves to join the motley crew of Fox? You'd think someone wouldn't be capable of taking Rupert's pile of cash for joining up, especially if they held their degree in journalism in high regard. I wonder which political side the defectors are really on? Almost every defector has enjoyed higher ratings on Fox. Gee, maybe I should check out mediamatter(s).org, they probably have an unbiased view of Fox news that will better inform me. After that I'll go on over to NPR for what's really going on in the world and compare it to The Huffington Post. Once I've done all that, I'm sure I'll have the best grasp of exactly how I should view the world. Both sides lie, omit and color, adopting the conception that Fox and conservatives do all the lying only makes the entire argument a bit vaccuous. When the new President adopts a truckload of policies that were the foundation of the old President, how exactly can he constantly rail against the failed policies of the previous administration?
