[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Obama: unnamed TV network "attacks" White House (Page 1 of 3)

Posted: 6/17/2009 2:00:34 AM EDT

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama says one television network is "entirely devoted to attacking my administration."

Obama didn't name the network during an interview with CNBC on Tuesday, but his administration has often taken issue with Fox News. When the interviewer asked if Obama meant Fox News, the president didn't respond.

Instead, Obama says the unnamed network seldom runs any positive stories about his White House. Obama says the network has a "pretty big megaphone" to attack his views.

Fox television did not carry his most recent prime-time press conference, drawing rebuke from the White House. Fox News did air the event.

The two networks share a parent company but are run independently.

I'd say that Bush didn't spend too much time complaining about ALL the other networks reporting negatively on his White House!

ETA: It sounds like only one network is doing its job.

He demands blind adoration and sees any reporting that does not cheer him on as offensive.He is well on the way to owning the networks with ABC's going into the tank,joining NBC and affiliates.Goebbells would be proud.

What a whiny little bitch. I never remember Bush bitchin' even once about the media despite the fact they tried to skewer him on a daily basis. It seems our messiah doesn't like criticism.

Neil Cavuto was giving him a bunch of crap yesterday, seeing as how Obummer has been on all the other news networks.

He's just mad that one of the networks is actually calling him on his shit.

Good for FOX. They should wear this president's disdain as a badge of honor.

Does President Obama know about the existence of 1st Amendament?

Or is he looking for a "bulgarian" percentage of consensus?

Who would have thought presidents are subject to criticism? Everyone should just love BO like MSNBC loved W.

Expect increase fines against this unnamed station, being restricted from attending new conferences held by the White House, and other typical Chicago politics used to strong arm someone into submission.

Hugo Chavez just shuts them down, since they are "amigos" I guess that move will be next.

I don't think he really cares about the 1st.

Or, any of those other silly little Amendments.

His new Head of the FCC will shut down Fox and all the conservative talkers with in 2 years thru a backdoor fairness doctrine..

he will make huge inroads in taking control of the Net as well with in the same time frame..

there has never been the grab for power by an administration, ever as there is by Obama, it is like he is finishing what Roosevelt, Wilson, FDR and Johnson started and continued..

prepare for a Totalatarian Govt before 2012

Only the mentally disturbed and proponents of private enterprise don't approve of my policies...

Just like any good narcicist, instead of basking in the glow of those who love him, he focuses on those who don't as somehow defective.

This guy is so fucking unbelievable. I just wonder if he will ever push things far enough for the majority of people to wake the fuck up.

His actions so far should have already done that, but there doesn't seem to be any awareness of the debacle yet.

Frustrating isn't it? Seems to be the general consensus amongst people like us. Yet the Obama voters plead for more time for the savior to fix things.

ETA what's worse, is even if we do get control, there is almost 0 chance that we will be able to undo any of these now policies/laws.

Hell, we are still dealing with FDR and LBJ's clusterfucks.

Awwwwwww, poor little bitch Obama doesn't like it when somoene doesn't tow the party line and kiss his ass, poor baby!

It's kind of funny, this loser has every freakin' media outlet with the exception of FNC and every major newspaper with the exception of the WSJ, and he's going to piss and moan like that? This guy is more of a pussy than I originally thought, he seriously needs to eject now!

i guess he doesn't understand that the point of the press SHOULD BE to dig dirt on the goverment and expose it to the american public. the press is SUPPOSED TO BE the enemy of the government.

unfortunately, the press has largely forgotten this as well.

Give Chavez some time. Historically, there has not been one single socialist dictator that has not committed mass murder of political opponents.

If Fox keeps up all these negative vibes, it will upset obama. Come on guys, don't make him cry. It's unbecoming of a President to squirt some at the drop of a hat like that.

The narcissist in him raises its ugly head again - intolerance of criticism.
