Obama in Command: The Rolling Stone Interview (Obama: Fox News Destroying America)
Rolling Stone ^ | Tuesday, September 29, 2010 | Jann Wenner

What do you think of Fox News? Do you think it's a good institution for America and for democracy?

[Laughs] Look, as president, I swore to uphold the Constitution, and part of that Constitution is a free press. We've got a tradition in this country of a press that oftentimes is opinionated. The golden age of an objective press was a pretty narrow span of time in our history. Before that, you had folks like Hearst who used their newspapers very intentionally to promote their viewpoints. I think Fox is part of that tradition — it is part of the tradition that has a very clear, undeniable point of view. It's 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. But as an economic enterprise, it's been wildly successful. And I suspect that if you ask Mr. Murdoch what his number-one concern is, it's that Fox is very successful.

Give it up, Mons. Going on your anti-Fox YouTube binge ain't saving you or the other libs from the pain that's coming.

But, thanks for being a prime example of what we're seeing nationwide: Liberals, DESPERATE, FRIGHTENED, and unable to defend Obama's bone-headed policies, and deflecting at all costs to cover their exposed behinds.

I went there earlier this morning. Linda McMahon (the "Wresting Federation lady", per Bill Clinton) is within a mere three points of Blumenthal. As they said in football, when a wide receiver goes against a cornerback, "If he's even, he's leavin'...". If she ends up tied with him within before the election, McMahon beats him. Watch the left wail, if that happens.

Obama is just pissed off that anyone dares question his daily lie machine.

This Admn is an assembly line of lies, distortions, treason, destruction, and incompetence.

Bill O'Reilly, Producer Settle Sexual Harassment Suit
Fox Host Agrees to Drop Extortion Claim

By Howard Kurtz
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, October 29, 2004; Page C01

Bill O'Reilly settled a sexual harassment lawsuit by his former producer last night, ending what he called a "brutal ordeal" without an apology.

The Fox News talk show host also agreed to drop his extortion suit against Andrea Mackris and her attorney, Benedict Morelli, according to a statement by O'Reilly's lawyer. The deal likely involves payment of millions of dollars to Mackris, since the two sides were discussing an offer of well over $2 million when negotiations broke down, say sources close to O'Reilly. Both parties agreed to keep the details confidential, according to the statement.

LMAO at the FOX obsession from obama, mons, blacken etc...

maybe if you focused on the shit that mattered instead of FOX news the economy wouldnt still be in the shitter and obama would actually pass legislation that will help businesses instead of hurt them...

but by all means carry on spend your time on youtube looking for clips
