The White House Vs. Fox News Channel
Most of you have probably heard about the White House's recent war of words with Fox News Channel. For those of you who haven't heard, earlier this week, The White House Communications Director Anita Dunn, appearing in an interview on CNN's State of the Union, said that the White House considered Fox News channel "a wing of the Republican Party", and went on to say: "They take their talking points, put them on the air; take their opposition research, put them on the air. And that's fine. But let's not pretend they're a news network the way CNN is."
Those are hefty charges, and completely untrue. In spite of what the White House wants you to think, Fox News is simply not a wing of the Republican Party. It never has been in any way associated with the Republican Party. The political commentary programs on Fox News are predominately conservative, not Republican. In fact, most of FNC's political talk show hosts such as Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, and Sean Hannity call out the politically correct Republican Party on a regular basis.
In an article published in Time Magazine earlier this week, Anita Dunn said about Fox News Channel: "It's opinionated journalism masqueraded as news". But did you know that many of Fox News' programs like Fox and Friends, and Major Garrett, simply report the news, and don't provide any commentary whatsoever? But you never would have guessed that from listening to Mrs. Dunn, would you?
Today, in his program on Fox News, Glenn Beck fired back at the White House, but specifically at the White House Communications Director. What he said was both true and scary:
Fox News Poll Says Only 43 Percent Would Vote to Re-elect Obama
That's right, today Fox News Channel released the results of a poll conducted earlier this week implying that if the Presidential elections were held today, only 43 percent of Americans would vote for him.That's down from 52 percent six months ago, from April 22-23, 2009.
Interesting enough, the poll also showed that Obama's foreign policies approval ratings are down further than ever, showing that only 49 percent of Americans say they approve of the job President Obama is doing and 45 percent disapprove, but yet he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize earlier this week.I would like to know what he has done since joining office that would cause him to deserve such an award? The answer is absolutely nothing.For example, he inherited a bad economy, and has onlt made it worse by spending trillions of dollars on policies that have done nothing to help the economy, but instead have deepened the national debt and deficit. It seems like Americans are finally waking up and finding out that Obama's "change we can believe in" is not all that it's cracked up to be.
Rush Limbaugh Booted From Group Seeking To Buy NFL Team
The famous talk show host Rush Limbaugh was dropped on Wednesday from a group trying to buy the St. Louis Rams because of claims that he has supposedly made in the past about slavery that recently surfaced. The only problem? They aren't real. After lots of searching, it has been found that the comment Rush supposedly made, ("Slavery built the South," "I'm not saying we should bring it back. I'm just saying it had its merit. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.") was made up by an idiot named John Huberman, who put it in his book: "101 People Who Are Really Screwing America,".
Although it has been found to be a fake, liberals everywhere are still using it against him, and as a result, the group seeking to co-own the St. Louis Rams kicked him out this Wednesday.
Now legal anylysts have said that he may have grounds for a libel suit. A former federal prosecutor and Fox News legal analyst, Lis Wiehl,said about Limbaugh's chances of pulling together a legal suit: "If they actually made up a quote that cost him a deal that he would've otherwise gotten, then yeah, he's got a case." "If the matter revolved around a non-public figure, the potential lawsuit would be a "slam dunk,".
But since it was a conservative talk-show host that was suspected of saying this they kicked him out without ever finding the evidence.
