The FOX Hunt

I see that the White House has once again used the Sunday talk shows to bad mouth Fox News. Why? Who knows? Well, I have an idea. I think it might have something to do with the fact that Fox isn't the biggest supporters of Uncle Barack. It could also be that health care reform is floundering. Or maybe it's just that they cannot be controlled.

Way back when it decided that the press should not be censored, but be used to keep the government in check. The press is a watchdog of the people when it comes to the government, big business and those that hold power. I think that's a good idea, don't you?

Rahm Emanuel says that Fox has a "perspective" David Axlerod says that Fox is pushing a "point of view." Why, because they aren't in the bag for Obama? Because they offer a different opinion of CNN, CBS, NBC, MSNBC and ABC? I haven't heard anyone at FOX say they get a thrill running up their leg when Uncle Barack speaks.

Now don't look at the opinion shows, but look at the news programs on FOX. Axlerod says that FOX isn't a news network. Huh? Has he watched anytime that Hannity isn't on? Doesn't sound like it. The news is the news, opinion is opinion. Period.

I've tried to watch shows on the other networks. I can't take too much. The cheerleading, the continual bashing of George Bush and the vitriol in general. Shameful. It is these other networks that are pushing an agenda.

So if Uncle Barack, Rahm Emanuel, David Axlerod and Anita Dunn don't like FOX News, here's and idea, don't watch, ignore them. In other words, do what I do when it comes to the "mainstream" media.

Besides, doesn't Uncle Barack have more important things to worry about at the moment?
