Pres. Obama has described Fox News as "operating basically as a talk-radio format" rather than as a "news outlet."
When NBC's Savannah Guthrie raised [in a segment of her extended interview of the president aired on Today this morning] the issue of White House attacks on Fox News, PBO first tried to play the statesman, resorting to the old dodge about "the American people" being more interested in jobs and the situation in Afghanistan.
But when politely pressed, PBO didn't hesitate to fustigate Fox.
SAVANNAH GUTHRIE: Another issue in the news is the news: we asked the president what he thinks about some of his advisers saying Fox News--known for conservative opinion--isn't really a news organization.
GUTHRIE: So you think it's appropriate for the White House to say what is and what is not a news organization?
BARACK OBAMA: I think the American people are a lot more interested in what we're doing to create jobs or how we're handling the situation in Afghanistan.
GUTHRIE: Fair enough, but your advisers raised this issue.
OBAMA: Well, no, I think that what our advisers have simply said is that we are going to take media as it comes. And if media is operating basically as a talk-radio format, then that's one thing, and if it's operating as a news outlet, then that's another. But it's not something I'm losing a lot of sleep over.
Note how PBO managed a two-fer, taking a simultaneous swipe at Fox News and "talk radio" [and we know whom he's talking about!] But of course the president's not losing a lot of sleep over it. Way too cool for that.
PS: Guthrie slipped in a little editorial comment of her own, saying Fox News was known for "conservative opinion." Well, yes, but also for breaking stories like Van Jones and ACORN that put the Obama admin on the spot.

That's an outright llie
October 22, 2009 - 07:39 ET by freecitizenThat's an outright lie. His advisers were all over TV saying exactly word for word that Fox was "not a news organization" just as she asserted. I think they are starting to realize that this bit of strategery is not exactly turning out as planned.
Only in his deluded fantasy vision of himself does he have the detached cool to "take the media as it comes". He overreacts to the even the most minor and pointless of criticisms.
Liberal: remove all that's Right, and this is what's Left.
interesting play on words
October 22, 2009 - 08:07 ET by jon_torlinActually, I wonder if he meant it literally "take the media as it comes," after all, they took MSNBC and CNN and a host of others. They took banks, they took GM and Chrysler......(I'd prefer the word "stole" but that might be considered racist)
And I find it offensive that he brings up "what we're doing to create jobs or handling the situation in Afghanistan" when of course the exact opposite is true, and he's not called on it. After all, this morning it's reported that jobless claims went up. Nice job!
When are people going to start getting mad?

I'm sure obama would have
October 22, 2009 - 11:17 ET by ThisnThatI'm sure obama would have liked to continue the conversation and provide more explanation, but he had to rush out and meet with a true news organization -- MSNBC -- and their top non-spin, most objective reporters -- obermann and madcow. /sarc

we're doing to create jobs or handling the situation in Afghanistan.
Really? Then why are your aides talking about Fox News instead of those things? I mean if it's really not something you lose sleep over.....
And exactly what ARE you doing to create jobs and "handle" the situation in Afghanistan (besides kicking the can down the road, that is)?
This interview was an embarrassment. I wonder if the President realizes that.
And exactly what ARE you
October 22, 2009 - 09:00 ET by SeashellAnd exactly what ARE you doing to create jobs and "handle" the situation in Afghanistan (besides kicking the can down the road, that is)?
Right, he's doing nothing-just sticking his head in the sand hoping these problems will go away.
Did this put me over the edge??
October 22, 2009 - 10:36 ET by jpatchMaybe so.
I mean, is this real? Seriously?! Not only has Barack himself personally attacked Fox, but now his Chief of Staff, his Communications Director, his Press Secretary, the Speaker of the House, and more, have publically attacked America's largest cable news outlet. For him to say what he said, and for him to try and play this off as though he's not really a part of it, he doesn't really know whats going on, and that he's too "Presidential" to be involved...if ONLY THAT WERE THE CASE!!!!!
We're witnessing a TOTAL FAILURE in our highest executive office. What hammers this point home is that he has the AUDACITY to bring up "Afghanistan" and "Jobs" in an attempt to divert the conversation...as in, "everyone who's watching, see what I have to deal with? I'm trying to get your guys' jobs back, and I'm trying to win this war in Afghanistan (that Bush left me!!!), and this reporter is wasting my time with questions about Fox?"
He starts controversies and then acts like the arbitrator when they blow up in his face. Up until this point, the issues have been small enough and the press has been complicit enough that he's been able to get away with it. How much more they are able to get away with is up to us.
Ya, I'm starting to lose it. Is anyone else paying attention to this?
LOL!
October 22, 2009 - 11:44 ET by KC Mulville"I think the American people are a lot more interested in what we're doing to create jobs or handling the situation in Afghanistan."
You're right, MB, Obama said this as if we all approved what he was doing about jobs and Afghanistan! And in both cases, the jobs are vanishing and the generals and banging on his door for an answer. He's doing nothing on either.
The only proper question at that moment would be for the interviewer to say, "So what are you doing about jobs and Afghanistan? There's no indication that you're doing anything ... with all due respect, Mr. President."
You really expect a lot, KC!
October 22, 2009 - 12:00 ET by motherbeltShe couldn't even get up off her knees long enough to ask the question that I posed, nevermind including the observation that you added!

October 22, 2009 - 07:52 ET by kevinm13This White House believes that everything is to be blamed on somebody else. The bad economy keeps getting blamed on President Bush, news stories making noise is being blamed on "racist" -- NOT, Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck and they don't like that Fox News dares not to follow the script they have laid out for all the parrots in the MSM. God Bless Fox News Channel for telling the truth when they can get it, as this group in the WH are doing everything they can to obscure and hold back the truth.
Back during the election
October 22, 2009 - 08:15 ET by BDBack during the election campaign I watched as members of the left began attacking their opponants who disagreed with them on policy. The attacks always focused on the fact that their opponants "Did not want a black president" and predicted that that particular action would soon have a name akin to being "Borked" when a surpreme court candidate is unjustly accused.
Well ladies and Gentlemen, we are all being "Baracked."
For the record, I am not a racist, sexist, homophobe, nor bigot.
But I do have standards.
So, did this reporter bother
October 22, 2009 - 07:59 ET by Radical1979So, did this reporter bother to ask Obama about the "point of view" Fox has discovered, like Van Jones being a communist? Oops, I guess if she did that she wouldn't be a real journalist in his opinion.
A No-No
October 22, 2009 - 12:12 ET by miss911ninjaConsidering how Anita Dunn accused FOX of being the "research arm of the Republican Party," it's clear that The White House is threatened by "research." It leads to the actual reporting of things like Van Jones' communism and Dunn's own admiration of Mao. Being a real journalist is a no-no!
The fact that Obama's
October 22, 2009 - 08:02 ET by MassConservativeThe fact that Obama's lapdogs in the "former" MSM are calling the administration out on this (somewhat) shows how this is backfiring.
I think Britt Hume nailed it the other day when he referred to how the other organizations would feel being "patted on the head" and told they were doing a good job. I think if Fox stays on this line it will keep the pressure on these other organizations to keep the pressure on the WhiteHouse to back off.

Now if only HE was!
Exactly!!!!
October 22, 2009 - 10:44 ET by jpatchHow insane is it that he brings those two issues up? He wants us to believe that he's being distracted from solving those issues for us, because he's being badgered by Fox and questions about Fox.
He likes to start fights and then pretend that he's an innocent bystander just trying to help us all get along.
If Obama believes we are
October 22, 2009 - 08:15 ET by BDIf Obama believes we are more interested in jobs and the situation in Afghanistan then why is he not hurrying on either?
He could lower the corporate tax rate and lure MILLIONS of jobs.
He could alert the next wave of troops to prepare for a springtime departure to Afghanistan.
But instead he orders his minions to pick fights with Foxnews. Fights they will lose.
not quite right
October 22, 2009 - 08:37 ET by jon_torlinHe's been doing it for the last 10 months, everything he says is directly opposite of what he does.
He claims to want to help this country, he's harming it. He claims to be creating jobs when he's not.(it's not the job of POTUS to do that anyway) He claims to be thinking about the Afghanistan situation, but he's playing basketball and having parties. And on and on and on.
He's not just a liar, he's a thug, thugs do this kind of behavior. The only idiots in this administration are the ones in the cabinet positions. The ones that are not idiots but rather devious and just plain bad are the czars. They know what the hell they are doing.
By now, it should be patently obvious.

If the Bozo President
October 22, 2009 - 08:58 ET by ahusseris successful in anything concerning the economy or foreign policy or whatever then he and his clowns will be re-elected. He must fail and fail miserably to get rid of him as a force in politics forever and his bankrupt 'socialist' party damaged; hopefully irrevocably. Unfortunately we will bear the brunt of this failure; there is no other way. Never has a president attacked free speech like he has with the focus on individual 'enemies'. This is the American version of Stalin. He doesn't have that kind of power yet but he's trying. This cynically calculated hate filled campaign against conservatives and Republicans harkens back to the Civil War.

Then he can move on to banks, auto industries, insurance companies, etc.

October 22, 2009 - 08:43 ET by SentryDanHey Ben, it apears that the latest ploy by the obama administration to get control of the businesses (now it's the small businesses) in this country is to offer funds to the smaller financial institutions so that they can lend to the small businesses. My suggestion to all small businesses and small financial institutions is to run, not walk away from that offer.
I would hope that these organizations can see this for what it is, a way to take over their operations. And that ain't MHO.

Huh?
October 22, 2009 - 08:19 ET by RightWiredHow is the content and programming of Fox News any different than PBS, NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, other than it's not as extreme and as biased?
They all have talk shows that praise the Chosen one. We have talk shows that are more critical of him.
Do liberals comprehend how stupid they are? I mean, do they have any idea how ridiculous they sound?

October 22, 2009 - 08:36 ET by SentryDanFox & Friends this morning reported that Secretary Clinton said that the US needs to reduce it's nukes and that if we do the Russian will follow suit. My question is: does this person and for that matter the obama administration think for one minute that Putin and his crew will follow suit if the US reduces its nuclear stock pile? The answer is "NOT ONLY NO, BUT HELL NO!!!"
I would then pose this question to these liberal clowns: do you, obama and clinton, think that the American people are as stupid as you are?

Alrighty Then
October 22, 2009 - 08:41 ET by BondPlainBondObama has been routinely displaying the paranoia and desperation historically found in all up-and-coming tyrants insatiably hungry for total domination and control.
Obama has deliberately and cavalierly broken his promises and assurances of openness, honesty, and transparency. Even blatantly ignoring his own Executive Memorandum of early January 2009.
Obama is, however, demonstrating, as seen in the video, he is quite open, honest, and transparent in his personal willingness to scathingly lie - repeatedly. It is of no consequence to Obama that we know and understand he is lying.
Obama, his administration, the fringe media, and the left just don't get it. They never will. They sincerely believe entities such as Fox News and big business are driving the opposition to his insane plans, policies, and never-ending spending.
Not even close. It's the intelligent, reasonable, and rational American that opposes the continual flow of Obama Administration insanities. People that watch Fox News, visit and participate at NewsBusters and other conservative websites, people that watch and understand exactly why Glenn Beck is asking the questions he asks on a daily basis, people that exercise their Constitutional rights by participating in the TEA Parties and the 9/12 Projects.
The Obama Administration has created its own opposition by brazenly, and so often, exhibiting its inherent disdain and contempt for the American people and the Constitution.

BARACK OBAMA: I think the American people are a lot more interested in what we're doing to create jobs or handling the situation in Afghanistan.
Gee, he could've answered "I like peanut butter toast in the morning" and it would've been just as relevant. If that wasn't a blatant dodge I don't know what is.
And yes, speaking of Afghanistan, dear leader, how many more weeks do we need to wait until you actually do something?
Yeah...and there is a rumor
October 22, 2009 - 10:04 ET by StarAZYeah...and there is a rumor going around that people who watch Fox are also interested in Afghanistan and watch Fox to find out what, if anything, is happening. They sure won't find it out anyplace else.
Incidentally, the AOL screen had a story on his falling numbers--I clicked--taken down. Hmmm.
he doesn't want to do anything
October 22, 2009 - 10:12 ET by jon_torlinHe doesn't want to do anything about Afghanistan, he's said it before that victory isn't the plan. In fact, that's one of the very few things that he's been holding true to, not typical of his saying something/doing opposite.
He did this during the Merchant Marine Captain hostage situation, waiting and seeing what will happen. Personally I think he's looking for more of our guys to get killed over there. Why else would he have such a casual disregard over that? By tying our hands, he enables the enemies to do more damage and they know it.
For those of you who were/are in the military, what's the crime for a CO who deliberately and knowingly puts the soldiers in harm's way without any regard to their safety, knowing that defeat is inevitable as a result? That's what this 'president' is doing by not sending more troops over there when they were needed. Isn't it Dereliction of Duty? The same term could not be applied in everything else he's doing which is harming our country but his actions are treasonous either way.

And our friendly neighboorhood libs were accusing Bush of doing just that, screaming their heads off that his actions were getting our soldiers killed. And yet I don't see them screaming about Obama's inactions resulting in the same. I thought they cared so much about our soldiers not dying in war.
It's truly disgraceful. This last month the base I'm working at has lost eight soldiers at the least, six I believe were from that ambush raid a couple of weeks back. So hearing that the decision could take "weeks" is nothing short of disgraceful.
Disgraceful indeed.
October 22, 2009 - 11:11 ET by jpatchObama is a disgrace, and he most certainly is guilty of dereliction of duty.

JP, I have said it ...
October 22, 2009 - 12:22 ET by SentryDanJP, I have said it before here that "the one" obama is a dishonest, dishonorable man. He is trying to destroy the military. The only problem is that with the job marked the way it is, recruitment is at it highest levels since, what 1973, and people aren't getting out.
So, now he has to figure something else to get rid of them so that he can start his CNSF (Civilian Nation Service Force). Remember this organization is supposed to be as big, as well funded, as well trained and as well equipped as the military.
"We the People" need to use every legal means available to remove this administration from office. 2010 won't get here soon enough.

October 22, 2009 - 11:41 ET by miss911ninjaHe's such a fool. He states that his advisers have "simply said that we are going to take media as it comes," while the memory of Anita Dunn's specific complaints and accusations about FOX are still fresh in our minds, along with Rahm Emanuel's expressed concern that "CNN and the others in the world" not "be led, and following FOX." This is a far cry from "taking it as it comes." The fool contradicts himself by making a distinction, saying that if media comes in "a talk radio format" it's one thing, and if comes "as a news outlet, then that's another."
And by the way, fool: What ARE you doing to create jobs?
Creating Jobs and Afghanistan
October 22, 2009 - 12:15 ET by clubchamp6Lets see he has supposedly created 30,000 in 9 months at an average of $530,000 per job. Good work there. Afghanistan....................still waiting on a decision to send more troops while our fine men and women are in harms way................don't want to upset the base so we should wait for the right time politically to make a decision...........we all know he doesn't like the military anyways so let them swing in the wind.
Fing baby he is.
more of the same
October 22, 2009 - 13:44 ET by rowdygirlIt seems to me, that more and more, he responds as if he has nothing to do with what's going on behind the scenes.. if he responds at all.
He gets his minions to do the dirty work and then stands back and says "no problem here" "not losing any sleep" "the american people don't want to know this"
Guess what? He's wrong. I think we DO want to know what's really going on and why he's behaving this way, but he's sure not going to tell us. He's going to throw anyone in his way under the bus, including his own people to further his "agenda".
