What I just can't understand is that the people surrounding the President are supposed to be smarter than the average bear. I can't see how this ever got past the "I-got-a-great-idea-Mr.-President" stage and became an actual event.
Time for drug testing. Someone's smoking or sniffing something.
Cockiness and underestimation of the people.What I just can't understand is that the people surrounding the President are supposed to be smarter than the average bear. I can't see how this ever got past the "I-got-a-great-idea-Mr.-President" stage and became an actual event.

a fucking BLOG????I don't know if anyone pointed this out since I've not read the thread...but this turned out to be a lie.The entire WH TV news pool united and told the WH they wouldn't interview one of the Czars if Fox News couldn't. The WH had earlier barred only FNC from the interview. Behold:
YouTube - White House tries to bar Fox News from intervewing pay czar
Milhous, this is what happens when you try this infantile nonsense.
Big Surprise!
It is official, Fox fabricated the "denied access" story ...

Are you kidding? All such thoughts of these dolts having any brains at all went out the window with the Scare Force One flyover of Manhattan and WTC!What I just can't understand is that the people surrounding the President are supposed to be smarter than the average bear.

They can't help themselves Doc.... They're afraid they will be kicked out of the cult if they don't reflexively defend The Obama on each and every little thing, no matter how bad it is.And you didn't see any, as I showed you. You THOUGHT you did.
You WERE defending this by the Appeal to Mom deflection. Instinctively, in knee-jerk fashion. Same exact way rdupe is in another thread.
However, it's amusing to notice you fail to see the irony of Obama doing Bush-like actions, all the time. I guess for you, irony only goes one way.
That's right Midnight, be a hack and ignore the rest of my post that points out exactly what I just bolded in your post. Dishonest much?
Dude, he wasn't being dishonest...
You were trying to compare apples and orangutans... Two completely different situations... Ended up being a "yeah, but boooooosh" moment for you that didn't compare at all...
That is because you are a careless, sloppy, lazy participant.I don't know if anyone pointed this out since I've not read the thread...
It did not. Sorry to burst your bubble.but this turned out to be a lie.
polk cant be honest enough to admit the differenceThe Bush administration did it last year. Fox News has been on the air since 1996.
There is a WORLD of difference between getting chaffed enough to informally stop granting interviews to one propagandist outlet, and trying to officially have it deemed a non-news network. Please. You are being completely disingenuous.
Not only is the Obama Administration NOT acting in a manner consistent with what the Bush Administration did, the formality of the Obama Administration behavior is hugely different. The President and his staff are even attempting to have other news outlets deem Fox a non-news outlet.
Pure crap.
The truth is obvious. The thin-skinned President just cannot abide the fact that Fox News refuses to simply "go along" with the Adminsitration program. The objective challenge to the public line is deemed to be personally offensive and the President and the Administration are reacting in a very petty and stupid manner.
Fox News is a broadcast news outlet. It also has news commentators, opinion shows and in-depth news specials. Deal with it. Even the White House doesn't deny that.
If that line was clear, it wouldn't be an issue. The entire point is that it's not a clear line. Even Fox's so-called "news" programming promotes outlandish claims without any basis in fact. For example, they accused the Assistant Deputy Secretary for the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools of covering up a statutory rape (even though the person in question was of legal age). They claimed Joe Biden said "the fundamentals of the economy are strong" in a statement this year and aired video from a 2008 campaign event where he was quoting John McCain as their source.
So, which news organization(s) are you citing as being 100% accurate, 100% of the time?

You have links for that?
Not at all...you call me a moron because you have no other objection to what I post.a fucking BLOG????I don't know if anyone pointed this out since I've not read the thread...but this turned out to be a lie.The entire WH TV news pool united and told the WH they wouldn't interview one of the Czars if Fox News couldn't.

and you wonder why i call you a moron
Excuse me....
What Bush did was what Obama did a month ago and such was widely accepted. Bush excluded NBC from an interview(s)....just as Obama did 4 sunday morning's ago. Sure, some on the right were outraged, but it was not "the big story"
But for wahtever reason, the adminsitration decided to TALK ABOUT IT TO THE PUBLIC...and DISCREDIT THEM AS A NEWS AGENCY.
That is inappropriate for a WH, and in no way shape or form did the Bush WH do it.
But to deny a news agency an interview is not out of the ordinary.....
That's not true. Fox went ballistic over not receiving an interview, going as far as to call the president a cry-baby during their news program. Furthermore, the Bush administration did the exact same thing to NBC that Obama is doing to Fox. The only difference was it was spoken in the Obama case and it was done in the form of a letter in the Bush case.
Quick query for ya, Polk.....
Which 'news program' was it that the reference to 'cry-baby' was made, and who made it?
You can't even post without nonsense. Do you lack such character that you need to post self-contradicting nonsense so that you think you may not appear so wrong? Pathetic.That's not true.

Which 'news program' was it that the reference to 'cry-baby' was made, and who made it?
He made it during O'Reilly's show (which is opinion programming), but noting he's the host of one of their supposed news shows, that's not a legitimate distinction. That would be comparable to if Brian Williams had went on Olbermann and trashed Bush, but then claiming that's fine, since he didn't do it on the evening news.

There is no news program on FNC where the cry-baby comment was made. O'Reilly has never said he was a news program, FNC has never said so either.
YOU are wrong. Deal with it like a man, not like a weaseling pussy.
Keith Olbermann center right?They should just invite a bunch of Internet reporters instead. Hell, the Internet is where most of we, the liberals have retired to, with not much in the ordinary corporate media left. We've got the choice of an insanely right-wing FAUX, to a center-right Olbermann.
Most people don't consider, the real right-wing nature of the media happens both economically, and in the obfuscation of some issues, like cutting the DOD budget, stopping incessant wars, no talk of repealing the Death Penalty, and the many issues that just don't get discussed anymore, even on the left.
When is the last time you've heard anyone call for full-employment, or a living wage? When have you heard an interview with Chomsky on Olbermann, or even Nader on television? Even Moore gets censored in the movie theaters, by not even offering his movie. This weekend is the first time it will be offered here, even though it's been out over a month.
I suspect they are trying to keep his numbers down early on.

I'm not claiming anyone is 100% accurate. However, there is a big difference between making a mistake on occasion and having a habit of peddling false claims.
