Fox News v. Whitehouse *update*

by kellygrrrl

Visitors, if you like this post, please

Faux-News-posterWith both David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel appearing on Sunday news shows and echoing the sentiments of Anita Dunn last week, the Whitehouse has taken the bold approach of being quite open and honest about their position as to whom and what Fox News actually is and isn’t.

The folks over at Fox have made it their mission to humiliate themselves even further.

Fox and Friends this morning, host Brian Kilmeade asked Dana Perino to back him up in his claim that the Good Ol’ Boys in the W Administration would never have stooped as low as the Evil Obama Empire. It didn’t work out so well for Fux and Fiends.

KILMEADE: And not only did you not go after them, you gave them interviews, as did the president.

DOOCY: Sure.

KILMEADE: Gave them all interviews. Read Ronald Reagan’s diaries…

PERINO: Towards the end we didn’t do a lot with MSNBC. That’s, that is the case.

Poor Brian. He probably felt a little bit like JiffyPopPapa when Balloon Boy barfed on air, “You guys said we’re doing it for a show.”

Last week, Fux News cheered like drunken frat boys over Ed Gillespie’s scathing public letter to NBC News President Steve Capus, in which Gillespie accused NBC and MSNBC of blurring the line between “news” and “opinion.”

*UPDATE*

Fox News has now responded by putting up a poll on their website. Surprise! None of the answers allow for the possibility that Obama and the Whitehouse might have a legitimate point.

*UPDATE*

Fox News has zeroed in on Anita Dunn as their new target.  Following last week’s kerfuffle over her mention of Chairman Mao, Fox now seems to be under the impression that this video is going to be the final nail in her coffin:

I’m not entirely certain what is so damning here. Apparently this is proof positive that the Obama campaign sought to use technology to control the media. So what?

    The Republican party should just change it’s name to the American NeoNazi party.

    The only reason the right wing is pro-Israel is because the right wing is fundie.

    They support Israel because Israel has to be destroyed for Christ to return.

    Sickos. The support a nation because they want it in place to be destroyed for religious reasons

    Chris Kofinis just said what I’ve been saying for weeks”

    “I really think what you’re going to see in this party, as the months go by and they don’t make inroads with voters, is a civil war, ideologically within the Republican Party. All they end up doing is alienating voters even more, sowing the seeds of their own demise. And I would not be surprised if you start seeing this Republican Party potentially splintering into two.”

    Gonna take a lot of years for either of the two new parties to build up enough of a base to win an election for even PTA president!
    Yup Yup You Betcha!

    a troll at “elsewhere” has ’splained to me now why Anita Dunn’s comments re media control during campaign are so very damning!

    zipowitz: “That is what makes this fight about FOX so relevant. The WH is now showing how petulant they really are by attacking the one news channel they couldn’t control, FOX. So because it’s p&$*ing them off, they are now trying to somehow dismiss them as irrelevant. If they can do so, then they control the media too.”

    Obama Triples Budget Deficit to $1.4 Trillion,” reads a typical headline on the Fox Web site. In reality, the Congressional Budget Office projected the fiscal 2009 deficit at $1.2 trillion before Obama took office. Media Matters for America has compiled an encyclopedic list of similar absurdities.
