Obama Takes Aim At Fox News
From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
Obama says Fox News is ‘entirely devoted’ to attacking his administration.
(CNN) – Brushing off suggestions Tuesday the media is not critical enough of his administration, President Obama couldn’t help but take aim at one cable news channel in particular.
“It’s very hard for me to swallow that one,” Obama told CNBC when asked whether he thinks the media is too easy on him. “First of all, I’ve got one television station entirely devoted to attacking my administration.”
The interviewer quickly assumed Obama was referring to Fox News, a suggestion the president didn’t disagree with.
“Well, that’s a pretty big megaphone,” he said. “And you’d be hard-pressed, if you watched the entire day, to find a positive story about me on that front.”
“We welcome people who are asking us some, you know, tough questions,” he continued. “And I think that I’ve been probably as accessible as any president in the first six months–press conferences, taking questions from reporters, being held accountable, being transparent about what it is that we’re trying to do. I think that, actually, the reason that people have been generally positive about what we’ve tried to do is they feel as if I’m available and willing to answer questions, and we haven’t been trying to hide them all. ”
Obama struck a similar tone on the matter last month in his appearance before the White House Correspondents Dinner, during which he joked to the crowd, “Most of you covered me; all of you voted for me, apologies to the Fox table.”

“And I think that I’ve been probably as accessible as any president in the first six months–press conferences, taking questions from reporters, being held accountable, being transparent about what it is that we’re trying to do.”
Transparent? hardly.
Accountable? not even close.
He fired an IG for going after one of his supporters, in a blatant violation of law. transparent my ass.
As for accountability, he cosistently blames the bush admin for every problem we now face, even though he is largely to blame. this guy doesnt even know how to do his job, so he just keeps campaigning.
Maybe he means “transparent” in the visual sense. He’s certainly never actually “in” the White House (doing an actual job), with his obsessive vacationing and globe-trotting.
Last paragraph from story-Obama struck a similar tone on the matter last month in his appearance before the White House Correspondents Dinner, during which he joked to the crowd, “Most of you covered me; all of you voted for me, apologies to the Fox table.
ABSOLUTE ARROGANCE.
“We welcome people who are asking us some, you know, tough questions,” he continued. “And I think that I’ve been probably as accessible as any president in the first six months–press conferences, taking questions from reporters, being held accountable, being transparent about what it is that we’re trying to do. I think that, actually, the reason that people have been generally positive about what we’ve tried to do is they feel as if I’m available and willing to answer questions, and we haven’t been trying to hide them all. ”
what the hell kind of crack is that man smoking????
The good kine. Get me some! Then maybe i’ll be in as much blissful ignorance as that ignoramus.
Also, if you mix cocaine with dried blood and sprinkle it behind you it throws off bloodhounds and other scent following dogs since it deadens their noses.
I read that somewhere…
ASS CRACK
Waaaaaaaah, why don’t they love and worship me like the other networks? Waaaaaaaaaaah.
Step Seven: control the media….
Funny…over the last 8 years, all of the mainstream media outlets perpetuated that it was their role to be critical of our government.
If Obama is going to claim that Fox News is “devoted entirely to attacking his administration,” he had better come clean and admit that ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN are devoted entirely to assisting his administration.
The simple fact is Fox News provides much more variety in the presentation of varying political philosophies than any other mainstream media outlet
Obama has done in 6 months what it took Hugo Chavez 10 years to do. Just like Fox, there is only one network in Venezuela(Globovision) who questions the Dear Leader, and they have been fined 2.5 million dollars in an attempt to shut them down. The MSM has abrogated their responsibility to serve and inform the public in an unbiased way.
Cry me a river. There’s so much liberal media coverage of this douche bag, and he has to cry over one station. That just reinforces the fact he is a narcissist unfit to run a lawnmower…let a lone a country as great as America.
I prefer seeing him dispatched via the guillotine cause I’m just an old fashioned kinda guy. Ya know what I mean?
What a whining adolescent….. America, Wake Up!!!!
“…you’d be hard-pressed, if you watched the entire day, to find a positive story about me on that front.”
That’s because…you’d be hard pressed to find anything positive about The Fool to report in the first place.
