Fox & Friends Helps Prove White Houses Case
Fox & Friends hosts Brian Kilmeade and Steve Doocy were gabbing away with Dana Perino about how wrong they think it is that the Obama administration is finally standing up against the numerous falsehoods and manipulations aired by Fox News. Below are quotes from Steve Doocy, a video clip and an excerpt from the Newsweek article he refers to.
DOOCY: And you know its funny Dana, I didnt do a thorough search, but I did do a little Google thing. The New York Times came out against it, The Nation refers to, says theres a word for what the President and his aids are doing and thats whining and refers to the President as the Whiner-in-Chief, the Baltimore Sun thinks its stupid, and the Newsweek column said that it is essentially un-American.
Here is the truth..
The Newsweek article actually states the exact opposite that Rupert Murdoch and Fox News are un-American. Doocy showed that he couldnt even correctly read the title of the article,
The OGarbage Factor. Fox News isnt just bad. Its un-American.
NEWSWEEK: Whats most distinctive about the American press is not its freedom but its century-old tradition of independencethat it serves the public interest rather than those of parties, persuasions, or pressure groups. Media independence is a 20th-century innovation that has never fully taken root in many other countries that do have a free press. The Australian-British-continental model of politicized media that Murdoch has applied at Fox is un-American, so much so that he has little choice but go on denying what hes doing as he does it.
For Murdoch, Ailes, and company, fair and balanced is a necessary lie. To admit that their coverage is slanted by design would violate the American understanding of the medias role in democracy and our idea of what constitutes fair play. But its a demonstrable deceit that no longer deserves equal time.
So, as you can see, Doocy complains that the criticism of Fox News is un-American while floating yet another falsehood about the Obama administration.
