The thrust of this segment on Fox & Friends: The media is piling on the News Corp. phone hacking scandal; there are huge problems in the country, so why all the attention on News of the World? Fox & Friends, of course, is a program on the Fox News Channel, a News Corp. property.
But at least get the logic right! Here, Fox & Friends invites a very sympathetic guest onto the show Bob Dilenschneider of the Dilenschneider Group. This guy says this:
Why are so many people piling on at this point? We know its a hacking scandal. Shouldnt we get beyond it and really deal with the issue of hacking? Citicorp has been hacked into. Bank of America has been hacked into. American Express has been hacked into. Insurance companies have been hacked into. . . . So we have to figure out a way to deal with this hacking problem. Thats what we have to do.
Facile stuff there. If youre only paying cursory attention, Dilenschneider sounds pretty reasonable. Of course, his attempt to suggest equivalency among Citicorp, Bank of America, and American Express falls victim to an inversion: Those entities were the victims of hacking; News Corp. is the alleged perpetrator of hacking. Not a good example of effective scandal suppression.
The problem is that most stories that pass as news today are really opinion editorials. The Washington Post accuses Fox of inviting a sympathetic guest while their editorialist is taking the opposite anti-FOX viewpoint.

And we have an administration that intends to stamp out any opposing viewpoints....exactly the complaint that the Democrats had about an 'enemies list' of a previous administration.
Fox has been covering the story as well as any other media outlet in the US.
IMHO, the best coverage by far has been from the Guardian.

You do know if you want to discuss another topic, you can make a thread about it. All you're doing here is trying to change the topic away from Fox's attempt at whitewashing this hacking scandal.

The Guardian has the best coverage on a lot of topics. I would also disagree about Fox covering this story as well as any other media outlet in the U.S.

Last week, “Fox News Watch” FNC’s media criticism show was criticized for not covering the hacking scandal involving its parent company, News Corp.
On this weekend’s edition, host Jon Scott led with the scandal, revealing the latest details — or almost latest, since the show was taped before Dow Jones CEO Les Hinton resigned late yesterday — and spending two segments of the half hour show on the growing scandal.
Cal Thomas, who last week said “I’m not touching it,” blamed News Corp.’s competitors for blowing up the story in order to end News Corp’s bid to take over BSkyB… which it did last week. “The left has been out to get News Corp. and especially Fox News Channel and the Murdoch family for years,” said Thomas.

Newly Uncovered E-Mails Undermine White House Claim It Never Denied Access To Fox
by Matt Schneider | 4:44 pm, July 14th, 2011
New light is being shed on an old but hardly forgotten war between the White House and Fox News Channel. Judicial Watch, which oddly describes itself as a conservative non-partisan educational foundation, filed a Freedom of Information Act request and has now obtained e-mails from the White House that Judicial Watch says reveal that staffers specifically sought to exclude Fox News from interviewing an administration official, despite public statements from the White House at the time that such an action was merely a mistake.
In October 2009, the Department of Treasury made Executive Pay Czar Kenneth Feinberg available for interviews, but for reasons that have been somewhat unclear, Fox News was not included in an opportunity to interview Feinberg along with other reporters, though Fox News White House reporter at the time, Major Garrett, later revealed that no specific request was ever made. After a backlash by the other news networks, Fox News was welcomed to interview Feinberg. At the time the White House denied any anti-Fox News agenda. However, now these uncovered e-mails appear to reveal an effort was made by White House staffers to keep Fox News away during that time period and evidence what Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton describes as a pervasive anti-Fox bias in the Obama White House.
While White House supporters may claim that there is no smoking gun within the tranche of recently released emails, but some of the highlights include an e-mail between Dag Vega, Director of Broadcast Media on the White House staff, to Jenni LeCompte, then-Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs in the Treasury Department, suggesting wed prefer if you skip Fox please.
Perhaps more damning, in another e-mail, Jennifer Psaki, Deputy White House Communications Director writes to LeCompte, I am putting some dead fish in the fox cubby just cause, and later she also wrote Brett Baier just did a stupid piece on [the exclusion of Fox News from the pool interview] but he is a lunatic.

Now, whether it is Nixon or this Chicago thug administration, are there those who would defend the presidency of the United States in attempting to silence or manipulate the dissemination of information?
Fox has been covering the story as well as any other media outlet in the US.
IMHO, the best coverage by far has been from the Guardian.
Yea, I particularly liked their front page story announcing that The Sun newspaper (News Int) had hacked former PM Gordon Brown's phone to get a story about his son's illness. And I really enjoyed their apology when The Sun proved that the Guardian was wrong. Interesting that the apology was on page 35.
The Guardian have been no better than the rest of them, printing allegations and speculation as fact.
Seems to me that the vast majority of our media (both sides of the pond) needs a serious kick up the ass.

Good info, CG. I'll keep a closer eye on the Guardian. What's the buzz over there about the police taking bribes? I just read the London police chief quit over hacking ties.
