Obama Video on Fox News Criticized as Attack Ad
5/31/12
The Fox News Channel came under withering criticism on Wednesday for a four-minute video broadcast on its morning show Fox & Friends that portrayed President Obamas tenure as a series of failed promises.
The video had most of the hallmarks of a campaign attack ad, except that it was produced and paid for by a news network rather than a candidate or a political action committee.
A blogger on the conservative Web site Hot Air wrote of the video on Wednesday afternoon, It makes a pretty powerful argument against another four years of Barack Obama, but that shouldnt be the job of news-reporting organizations, even when we like the message.
David Zurawik, a television critic for The Baltimore Sun, wrote, Even I am shocked by how blatantly Fox is throwing off any pretense of being a journalistic entity with videos like this.
