you asked me to address the point of this thread so I went back and read it and it's a rambling mess.
What is the question of the original post? It the question what's the difference between the different stations (both network and cable)?
Fox (the main network that's free and has many more viewers than Faux News) has repeatedly refused to show coverage of Obama's national speeches. The other networks all show them.
Since we know Fox is Fair and Balanced I'm sure there are multiple examples of them giving Bush the exact same treatment while POTUS.
try to follow the train of thought i know its hard for you
who was the administration talking about fox or FOX NEWS?
its clear they were talking about FOX NEWS as obamas last interview he defended their comments about "FOX NEWS"
so they say that FOX is opinion based and not a news house, isnt MSNBC, CNN, ABC? the officials go on their station dont they?
so what the administration is basically saying is they dont go on FOX NEWS b/c they are critical of them, right?
