Obama: "Fox News is destructive to the growth of the country"

[MCWAY]

What do you expect? Mons hath not the spine to defend all his kneepadding. Then again, he ain't alone.

[Soul Crusher]

Mons, blacken, and Benny, and even 240 to some extent, all kneepadded ObamaCare.

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.

LOL

question: rupert is there any agenda that you want to shape?

Rupert: no not at all...we are opinion based

LOL so is msnbc and cnn...

LOL but again by all means turn a blind eye to the failures of obama and continue to look up clips on youtube...whatever keeps you distracted from reality 

[Soul Crusher]

I love how on the one hand they blame Fox News for the Ta Party, the disapproval of obama, etc etc.  Yet, when anyone brings up their ratings, people like 240 always are quick to point out how small the audience is relative to all other programming. 


ha ha ha ha ha.  what libtards.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_obama_job_approval-1044.html

RCP Average 9/14 - 9/27 -- 45.1 approve 50.7 disapprove

so FOX accounts for less than 1% of that 50.7% that disapprove of obama

what do you account for the rest of that 50.7% mons and blacken?

[Soul Crusher]

Palins' fault.

Health care poll finds more believe Obama reforms do not go far enough


WASHINGTON -AP September 26, 2010 President Obama's health care overhaul has divided the nation, and Republicans believe their call for repeal will help them win elections in November. But the picture's not that clear cut.


• Only 25 percent of the “get outs” favor requiring health insurance companies to sell coverage to people regardless of pre-existing medical conditions, while 54 percent of the “do mores” support it. The law requires insurers to cover children regardless of health problems starting this year, and that protection is extended to people of all ages in 2014.

• Among those who want a law that does more, 68 percent favor requiring medium to large companies to provide insurance to their workers or pay a fine; that stands at 28 percent among those who want the government out. The law does not require employers to offer coverage, but it hits companies that have 50 or more workers with a penalty if any full-time employee gets a government subsidy for health insurance.


A new AP poll finds that Americans who think the law should have done more outnumber those who think the government should stay out of health care by 2-to-1.

"I was disappointed that it didn't provide universal coverage," said Bronwyn Bleakley, 35, a biology professor from Easton, Mass.

More than 30 million people would gain coverage in 2019 when the law is fully phased in, but another 20 million or so would remain uninsured. Bleakley, who was uninsured early in her career, views the overhaul as a work in progress.

The poll found that about four in 10 adults think the new law did not go far enough to change the health care system, regardless of whether they support the law, oppose it or remain neutral. On the other side, about one in five say they oppose the law because they think the federal government should not be involved in health care at all.


Hahahaaaa 333333's in teh 20% group.......hahhaaaa just like teh Teaparty sccummmbags!!!

Hey, why don't you make up your fucking mind? Are you bi-polar, have dissociative identity disorder, lobotomized? You post how many fucking threads about how the government is behind 9/11 and how evil it is, but now you are happy that the fuckers are going to take over the health care system. You may be functional, but your still a retard

[Fury]

Every single MSM news organization is trash. They're all opinionated. Fox seems to be hitting close to home though as they've had Obama in a tizzy for a while now.

[The Showstoppa]

Odrama is such a whiny bitch......Bush was trashed nightly and I never heard him mention a news network in that context, maybe he did, but I don't remember it.  Hell, even Clinton was lambasted the last 3 yrs or so, and he never stooped to that.

What is utterly ridiculous is the idea that Fox News in the only outlet trashing Obama.  The combined audience of WSJ, FR, Bloomberg, and many other sites is greater than Fox News and Obama does not seem to say anything about them?  

This man is truly insane.

So much for dissent being patriotic.

And of course his kneepad brigade will still blame it on Bush, Palin, Reagan, John Wayne, etc....

What's more pathetic is the clowns in this thread acting like Fox is the only one doing it. Mons and co. 

[kcballer]

Any liberal is going to say Fox is bad for the country, just as any conservative will say msnbc is bad for the country.
