By discredit you mean calling someone out for not telling the truth? Obama covered for Hillary saying she never had a private server(s) and didn't send classified emails. How can 60 min (cbs) give him a pass on that? Whose running that investigative reporting hs club?

It's great seeing visits to the late night talk shows and frequent visits to the golf course. Focused. Priorities.

But the truth has been told...Obama doesn't need Fox. That's all there is to it.
Fox and America doesn't need President Obama......

Although it seems you need him.

The simply answer is, obama is NOT president of the United States, he is only president of the democrat party. He doesn't recognize anything else.
You can be one of two things, you can be an American, or you can be a democrat.. You can't be both...

The president is first and foremost a politician.

He is not a journalist and does not need to be objective or impartial. In regards to his governing, IMO he hasn't done all that bad of a job. Many of you who focus so much on Fox news though only focus on specific, non-important issues. Some of my biggest complaints and gripes about him are in regards to the tens of thousands of people he has killed, including Americans and children, in foreign countries in regards to drone attacks. As a black person, I feel he has not done enough in regards to getting rid of mandatory sentencing when it comes to crack cocaine. I also feel that he should be more active in releasing from prison the thousands of people who were caught up in crack back in the 1980s and 1990s. I feel that he should have charged and tried bankers who were involved in the "Great Recession." There are many other items that I can and do criticize him about, but all in all, he is not all that different from all the recent presidents. He also has a lot of plusses on his record. I also don't think he is some evil, anti-christ like Fox tries to paint him out to be. I honestly do believe he is doing the best he can, that he loves America, and that he is a nice, decent person in his professional life. He is also intelligent and IMO he is right to not go on Fox. The "contributors" on that channel, for the most part are not intelligent. All they want to do is argue. I think it admirable that he doesn't want to go on their channel and be badgered just so their "contributor" of choice can yell and turn red in the face and make all the idiots who watch Fox news happy that someone yelled at Obama.

No teleprompter=no interview.

First he is everyone's President, not for just you lefties. He announced pretty much his first day in office the Republicans could get in the back seat. He as also slammed Fox through his whole Presidency, so don't pretend he is being picked on.

Your last sentence shows the immaturity of both the President and his supporters. Guess becoming President still doesn't make some grow up! Guess all you expect from him is that he shows up on SNL.....now that's a non challenging move.

And you think NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, CNN and NPR are subtle about their bias?

Fox commentators and analysts do indeed usually lean to the right. But at least Fox has a regular cadre of kook Leftists to represent the Democratic Party racist, street agitators and zombies (read: elected Democrats). Can't really say that for the other networks.

Lou Dobbs used to be fair but after he went to Fox he became like the rest. Fox's so called analysts like Hannity, Bolton, KT McFarland consume the program with nothing but Anti-Obama rhetoric.

None of the other networks have a cadre of shills that they trot out daily to do nothing but offer one side of the story. If Obama puts more troops in the ME he is wrong, if he stays out he is wrong, it's boring and tiresome.

Comparing NPR to Fox news, please.

Care to back up the bolded with an actual link of him saying that. I can show you a leading Republican saying that their only goal is to make him a one term president. I wouldn't work with idiots who say things like that either.

Why should Obama go on Fox news? They have shown nothing but distain for him from the time he has been elected.
