Democrat: Fox News Is 'The Enemy,' Hates 'Working Men and Women'

February 7th, 2012 7:19 AM

Ask Americans who the "enemy" is, and they might say Iran, or they might worry about communist China. But typically, liberals see the enemy in America. Congressman Bennie Thompson, Democrat of Mississippi, told the Communications Workers of America on February 1 they should watch the enemy in action (for 30 seconds) on Fox News Channel. (Well, he said "Fox TV," as if he doesn't know the difference with the Family Guy Network.)

"Every now and then, you have to look at the enemy. And I say just turn over and switch to Fox TV for 30 seconds, see what the enemy is doing, and switch right back. Because then you understand what the enemy is all about. They’re absolutely against working men and women, so we have work to do." (Video below, via The Right Scoop)

The Communications Workers of America includes under its umbrella The Newspaper Guild, so think of this as the liberal media demonizing the conservative media. The CWA website included a warm article on Vice President Biden appearing on February 2: "Shortly before Biden’s speech, the CWA Executive Board announced it was endorsing Obama-Biden for re-election after soliciting input from members online for nearly two months. TNG-CWA President Bernie Lunzer abstained from the vote, standard practice for the Guild with regard to political endorsements."
