Has This White House Declared War on America?

[MaggieMae]

Here's another classic for ya...A couple of days ago this White House held a closed-door meeting with some "Journalists." Guess who these "Journalists" were?? None other than Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermmann of MSNBC. "JOURNALISTS??" These two vicious Liberal Loons are "JOURNALISTS?" No wonder this President seems so confused and delusional. He really does actually consider those two Loons to be Journalists. Yikes!

Yes, you're right. He most definitely should have invited Hannity and Beck. Maybe Glennie could have brought his easel and all his little charts. And then cried.

 

[MaggieMae]

My God,does Hopey Changey really believe that Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann are "Journalists?" If he does,that would explain his bizarre and petty behavior towards anyone in the Media who dare to criticize him. Those vicious Liberal Loons are "JOURNALISTS?" YIKES!!

They aren't Journalists...as aren't Limbaugh, Hannity, Boortz, Levin, Ingraham, Prager, And the rest...they are commentators.

Some on here would like to think that they are...but they are NOT.

They have blurred the line, as they so oft do. Change the meaning, the very essence of words to front their agenda.

At least Limbaugh, et,Al, are honest about whom they are. Not like Overbite, Maddow, or John Lebowitz(Aka John Stewart who likes to pretend HE is an honest journalist...) as do his followers...

Bwack bwack bwack!!
They're all statists they're all statists they're all statists!!​

Journalist - Definition from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary
1 a : a person engaged in journalism; especially : a writer or editor for a news medium b : a writer who aims at a mass audience ...

Commentator- A broadcaster or writer who reports and analyzes events in the news.

If it walks like a duck...

Maggie what part of this is a Media Matters smear did you not get? If it was done by media matters it is a lie.

A shocking "commentary" by you, who is usually smart enough not to say dumb things. Media Matters sources its material, contained in the link I provided. But I have yet to see anything "sourced" by you folks in this thread. Just a bunch of blather.

But speaking of Media Matters generally, whatever happened to that panel discussion Fox used to have which included a spokesperson from Media Matters and American University along with Krauthammer and some other conservative? Too tough for Fox to handle with a little on-air opposition to their opinionated bullshit?

Declaring War on the Press and the Chamber of Commerce this week. Who's it going to be next week?

Maddow and Overbite were not there for an interview. but rather to be indoctrinated

"what is thy biding my master???"

Yes, we should concentrate on Fox news, this is the most important topic facing america today. Its nothing but hate speech, hate speech is not free speech, hate speech is not protected by the 1st amendment. Hate speech incites crime, Fox news is inciting crime. We must shutdown Rush, Hannity, Levin, Beck, Savage. Hell, England saw the danger of Savage's hate speech and banned him from England. When will our government act for real change and send those willing to the reeducation camps and the others to the shooting squad.

The Marxist have declared war on Liberty, free speech is labeled hate speech, capitalism is demonized. The USA's history as taught today teaches children to hate our history.

Look at all the responses by the Liberal/Marxist, see any irrational hatred in those posts. The country is divided and its not the White House that has divided us.

I think there are a couple of different groups attempting to seize power.

Is it Marxism, maybe, who knows maybe the powers are using Marxism to hide behind, an easy target they can rise up and crush and than they seize power from the ashes showing how great they were to defeat Marxism, so it is possible the powers that be are using the Marxist to advance their hold on power.

The rich do a lot of good in the world and we do need a system that allows people to get rich.

We also need to be able to stop those who become hungry for power and resort to tyranny. Money corrupts some people as does the power that comes with holding public office. The temptation to become rich or powerful can go hand and hand.

Has the White House declared war, yes, is the White House the only people who have declared war on the USA, no, members of Congress have declared war, some corporations have declared war. The United Nations has declared war, the rich bankers, the new world order.

People are hungry for power and I think there are many different people fighting for power, we are the pawns.

Has This White House Declared War on America?

Yes, and now that Bush is gone and the Republicans are out, the war is over.

Fox has repeatedly invited Osama to come on their show. why has he refused??? because his teleprompter may reveal the truth instead of these programmed lies

If OP was truly making a legitimate point, why would he/she have to mischaracterize the speech so? A specific reference to a Mao quote becomes, "gushing with admiration" and "Throughout her gushing speech she kept referencing Mao's ...."
A legitimate point could stand on its own with out all the hyperbole and distortion.

And if stating an opinion of slanted coverage is "waging war on America" then I guess everyone who has ever claimed the "mainstream media has liberal bias" has been waging that war as well.

People are free to say what they think. Fox can call Obama socialist if they want and Obama can say Fox is full of crap if he wants - THAT is what free speech means.

Yeah, and notice how Obama has not once stated that FOX news was full of crap when they exposed your beloved fellow commie Van Jones. Nope, he just silently tossed his anti-american ass under the bus.

FOX news is reporting the truth based on facts. Facts that this sham president and his sham anti-american administration absolutely cannot refute. There are several anti-american, perverted, Marxist, Socialist pieces of garbage staring directly at the under carriage of Obama's bus, and it won't be long before they too are entwined in said under carriage of Obama's bus after FOX news is done reporting the truth based on irrefutable FACTS!

to FOX NEWS!

We have all heard by now about Anita Dunn,White House Director of Communications,being shown to be out there recently gushing with admiration for her Hero Mao Tse Tung but is this really an even more serious issue than most would like to admit? Throughout her gushing speech she kept referencing Mao's wonderful successes at winning Wars against his own people. Why all that repeated admiration for a brutal Communist Dictator for winning Wars against his own people? Just seems pretty disturbing and bizarre to me.

You know,Mao Tse Tung did not get all the Power by being a nice & tolerant guy. He simply murdered anyone who dared to oppose him. It's even more disturbing when you realize that this IS the White House Director of Communications spewing this crazy stuff. This week this White House declared War on a News Organization and The Chamber of Commerce. They really did seem to wage these Wars in a fashion that Mao might have been very proud of. So i believe that they really are following the Mao playbook on waging War against their own people. I do not think this can be called just an exaggeration or a lie at this point. Their own actions have proven this. This week it was the Press but who is it going to be next week? This new War on America should frighten all Americans at this point.

It depends on your definition of 'America'.....

How true.

I guess America must mean hypocrisy???????

LMAO....Pew Research Center found Fox to be the most balanced.....
You call it right wing.
You want to say right leaning, I can understand....as most on the lefty see balanced as right leaning............but right wing?
Jeez....then what the hell do we call MSNBC.......??????????????????

 

[JakeStarkey]

Fox is very unbalanced, emotionally as well as professionally. The White House declared war of America, and the Bushies were thrown out of office because of it. And think about it, folks: the wierdos are down to being represented by whackos like CalypsoLouiseLibocalypseNow and LickedJoker. They are certainly good for giggles.

So, was your stupid ass giggling when FOX fully exposed the LEFT WING entity known as ACORN for showing an abject willingness to engage in, and help in the disgusting CRIMES of exploiting and abusing innocent children?

Was your stupid ass giggling when Obama had no choice but to silently throw his good buddy Van Jones under the bus after FOX fully exposed, WITH IRREFUTABLE FACTS, that Jones was an anti-american communist piece of shit?

Yeah, i'm sure you were just giggling away at the exposure that FOX news gave to them!

Christ, liberals are friggin' idiots!

Sadly, ypou are so naive and so stuck on boards like this and blogs, you really believe Calypso and Jester are icons to the conservatives.

They are voices OF...not voices FOR.

Wow...and you actually try to debate intelligent people yet walk into crap like you just did?

Fox is VERY right wing, MSNBC is very left wing.
Since the onslaught of cable TV and hyper-partisan websites, many outlets have opted to cater to a particular ideology. Since it seems the era of the objective, dispassionate observer type of journalism is dying quickly, it can be argued that there is a legitimate role for Fox as the advocate of the far right to counter the advocacy of MSNBC of the far left.

But you can't be "fair and balanced" and an advocate at the same time. The two are mutually exclusive. Just because an outlet mirrors your own personal bias - don't be fooled into thinking it is unbiased.

Fox is perfectly free to say what they want about Obama or liberals, or progressives, or anyone else they want to. But those folks are also free to say whatever they think about Fox news too.
Free speech is a two-way street.

Of course "far" right and "right wing" and "far" left and "left wing" are subjective terms. I use them because they reflect MY opinions.

The pew research center found fox to be the most balanced of all cable AND network news agencies.

So who do you think may have a biased view of Fox?

Do you not like to hear what they have to report?

They report the news .....sorry you dont like the crap you hear out of DC.

Dont blame the messanger.

And...BTW...dont goive me that crap about "how Fox always lied"

If they always lied, you would hear about the lies on Network Evening News....instead you hear about the lies on blogs and MSNBC...and NEVER reported by MSNBC news anchors....just the commentators.

Why is that?

Why is that?

I consider Fox highly biased from my own experience mostly. I used to watch and even charted story slants for several days. I come from the old-school, of the unbiased, neutral, observer school of journalism and Fox scores very low on that criteria.

BTW - the Pew study to which I assume you are refering did not say Fox News was more balanced, it said the VIEWERSHIP was more balanced than previously thought. A newer study has pretty much overturned those findings. I'll check in tomorrow to see if you can prove otherwise.

I think it is a news organization's RESPONSIBILITY to report news that their viewership might not be very receptive too in order to provide their viewers with balance. Fox clearly fails miserably in that responsibility. They feed the right wing bias exclusively.

But if that is what they choose to be - that is certainly their right. As it is the right of others to comment on that decision.

No sir...they ALSO found THEM to be the MOST BALANCED in reporting during the campaign.

40% favorable McCain reports
40% favorable Obama reports
40% unfavorable reports McCain
40% unfavorable reports Obama
20% indifferent reports McCXain
20% indifferent reports Obama

NBC, for example...had 76% favorable Obama.....30% favorable McCain
