Excerpted Sen. Obama quotes from the Times Sunday Magazine: "I am convinced that if there were no Fox News, I might be two or three points higher in the polls.... If I were watching Fox News, I wouldn't vote for me, right? ... Because the way I'm portrayed 24/7 is as a freak. I am the latte-sipping, New York Times-reading, Volvo-driving, no-gun-owning, effete, politically correct, arrogant liberal. Who wants somebody like that?"
MRC President and Newsbusters.org Publisher L. Brent Bozell, III issued the following statement in response:
"Okay, Sen. Obama, we will cede you the point that the Fox News Channel, by accurately portraying you and your record, has brought you down 2-3% in the polls. Now it's time for you to concede that were it not for NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, Time, Newsweek, the New York Times, the Washington Post, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, etc., etc., etc. Sen. John McCain would be up by 20%."

Answer: NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, Time, Newsweek, the New York Times, the Washington Post, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, etc., etc., etc.
I disagree that McCain would be up 20%
October 16, 2008 - 11:17 ET by RoverI disagree with Brent that McCain would be up 20% without the bias of the liberal media outlets that he listed. Because without them, the race would probably be between Clinton and Romney.

Sounds like something John
October 16, 2008 - 09:41 ET by TD in FLSounds like something John McCain should be saying. Of course if he did, the media would report it while laughing in disbelief. The media can stick its head in the sand as long as it wants to, viewers are already voicing their displeasure to the tune of lower ratings. The MSM has gotten itself into a vicious cycle and cannot seem to escape because they believe the problem is everyone else.
R.I.P. MSM 2008.
Media
October 16, 2008 - 09:46 ET by GothampcI'm to the point where I don't even watch Fox News anymore. Who needs snooty Charles Krauthammer looking down his nose at me? Who needs Juan Williams or Bill Kristol's "educated" opinions.
Bill O'Reilly is starting to go off the rails and bully his guests. Alan Colmes was a loser from day one. Sean Hannity keeps repeating phrases ad nauseum.
There really is no honest media anymore.
What a Whiner!!!
October 16, 2008 - 09:53 ET by ckbennetttnIs this what the libs really want for president? When Putin or Ahmadinajad(sp?-who cares!) smacks him down is going to say the same old things that libs say, "mean-spirited, nasty, politics of personal destruction,etc." or where Obama is concerned, "racist." What this shows more then anything is that he lacks backbone, intestinal fortitude, and character to stand up to anything that gets tough for him. Can you imagine if he had been handled the way the MSM has dealt with W? He'd wilt. I just cannot imagine how he thinks he's getting a raw deal just because there are people on Fox who disagree with him. Take your ball and go home Barack!!! His quote will be my new tag line.
“I am the latte-sipping, New York Times-reading, Volvo-driving, no-gun-owning, effete, politically correct, arrogant liberal.” --Barack Obama
How Obama will Deal with Putin or Ahmad
October 16, 2008 - 10:05 ET by GothampcObama will issue a strongly-worded statement.
Then he will invite them to a debate, where he will sit and smirk and play it cool.
You forgot the race card
October 16, 2008 - 12:34 ET by ChuckM from PAYou forgot mention that if he doesn't get his way with other global leaders, he will just play the race card and go off with his (I'm better than you) nose in the air.

This is a little taboo subject no one here wants to talk about....people want to whine about the MSM, but god forbid, we have to keep those football games and nascar and "sex in the city" coming in...I mean come on, we don't want to take this to far now do we?
I got sick of being part of the destruction of this country(via paying for TV service) 3 years ago.

October 16, 2008 - 09:44 ET by mattmOsamba is tacitly, and probably unknowingly (because he really is an ignoramus) admitting what we've known all along - the MSM is a Liberal propaganda machine.
I say if all the other networks were 1/2 as balanced as FOX, Obama wouldn't even be the nominee...
How are the trolls going to continue their denial of Liberal media bias when their own messiah is admitting it?
Even Hillary and Ed Rendell
October 16, 2008 - 09:49 ET by SeashellEven Hillary and Ed Rendell admitted that FOX was the only network that was truly "fair and balanced". Even as democrats, they felt the rath of the MSM.

Can't wait
October 16, 2008 - 10:10 ET by cayenne523Can't wait to see if Obama will give Fox News credit when McCain wins. Will he come out and say Fox News is what put McCain in the White House? When McCain wins what will that say about the liberal media like MSNBC, CNN, NBC etc... All their biased reporting and they could not even overcome what Obama complains Fox News has done to him. Can't wait to hear Matthews, Olbermann and Mika when McCain wins. Invest in the companies that manufacture crying towels my friends. I see crying towels as future big sellers.
Shamwows will be sold out.

October 16, 2008 - 10:02 ET by cayenne523Hey Obama have you ever been to Russia? Did you notice that large African population? Oh that's right there isn't one. I wonder what Putin would think of you as a President. Want to wagger he will think he is smarter than you?

You mean he ISN'T those things??? I thought that was the image he was TRYING to present. He forgot to mention "Socialist/Communist" "Muslim terrorist" and "Not an American Citizen" Oh yeah, and "A-rab" (haha) I think Fox is holding back!
Take note: This is the
October 16, 2008 - 10:11 ET by play21cwTake note: This is the begining of what is soon to be a socialist/communist country. We have Obama saying he doesnt like the way the ONLY media outlet that presents fair and balanced news is reporting on him. Then he talks about redistribution of wealth. He is tied to terrorists, corporate thugs, ACORN.
He is upset that FoxNews is talking about it and no one else is. His truth Squad is just the begining, he will silence the media and take go after anyone who says anything bad about him. this is how dictators are born, and the ignorant Obamanatics are going to give him all the power he needs to take over, economically, militarally and socially. We are on the dawn of the end.
You won't even know what hit you
October 16, 2008 - 12:41 ET by ChuckM from PABy the time most Americans realize what has happened, it will be way too late to do anything about it. The constitution (freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to own guns, secret elections, sanctity of life, etc.) will have been changed so subtly that Americans won't know it until after it happens, all in the names of honesty, tolerance, safety, openness, choice, etc.

He took another shot at Fox...
October 16, 2008 - 21:56 ET by jawebster1at the Al Smith dinner tonight. He is not satisfied with all the main stream media supporting him, he wants Fox to support him too. A mentality like that bodes not well for America if he wins in November. You just know he will be reinstalling the "Fairness Doctrine" and he will be looking for ways to shut down Fox. What little voice we have will be history. NewsBusters be wary! Jim Webster
