CNN

Yes, I think the White House should go after Fex News. Didn't Fox News called the President a rascist? If they were a good news organizations, they should be trying to get their facts striaght before calling anyone names or saying false statements. That's probably why I watch CNN..."The Real Fair and Balanced News Organizations."

hey look its jack give it up cafferty you like to bad mouth the democrats
when they don't stand up against criticism or anything at all you call them wimps now that they do, you say its a fight they can't win
HEY JACK WHO IS THE WIMP NOW

Of course, the White House is right to go after Fox News since CNN is chicken enough not to call Sean Hannity, Glen Beck, etc out like MSNBC does. This is why I have taking my loyalty from CNN to MSNBC.

The White House is acting like little boys in the sandbox who don't get their way. They take their toys and go home. They had better be careful because Fox has more viewers I think than they estimate. And choosing not to acknowledge them is going to backfire on them. They are playing the elitist game and that won't work with us common folk.

Fox News is an oxymoron. It is biased and serves as a haven for the lunatic fringe right led by such 'stars' as Beck, Hannity and O'Reily. What is more disturbing is that what's left of the incredible shrinking republican party – angry white people – worship at this network's altar and believe without question the propaganda and demogougery spewed forth.

Pursuit of truth died long ago on this network.

WHAT does Rahm and Axelrod think about MSNBC...

He is a direct quote from MSNBC Chris Matthews... soon after his boy Barack was elected..

It is going to be MY job to make this administration look good no matter what. That is what I am here for.

He loves barack and supports him blindly. As do Rachel Maddow, the old ESPN goofball, and the rest of MSNBC.

They are almost ALL pro barack obama...

While for the most part I find Fox news to be balanced, that can not be said for the commentaries. Much of what is on Fox news over and above the actual news, does not deserve to be assocaited with the idea of news broadcasts. Political commentaries should be idetified as such and not intermingled with real news.

If they say Fox news is not news, I'd like to hear what they think MSNBC is...the bastion of truth??? lol Mr. Obama needs to take a page out of Sarah Palin's playbook. They need to ask her how she does it....how she manages to take the criticsm and insults that are hurled at her on a dailey basis and keep on stepping in stride. This president cannot take one iota of criticism but he sure was able to dish it out against president Bush. We have many improotant things to discuss without worrying about this one's pride.

Go ahead and pick a fight with Fox news.....it makes you look trivial and thinskinned Mr. President.

Glenn Beck is a moron.He is spewing hate on fox because he can't get a legitimate job elsewhere. He depends on the uneducated to pay his salary!!!

Dan Rather broke off an interview with sitting President
George H. Bush on national T.V. because he didn't like
answers he was getting from the President. (C.B.S.)
Katie Couric bombarded Barbara Bush with rehtorical
questions about an affair that was proven to have never
occured during the Republican Convention. (C.B.S.)
C.N.N. 's Robin Meade named four of the six safest
full size S.U.V.s last year on national T.V......but left out
Tahoe and Yukon, choosing only to mention four imports.
My point is ALL networks are pushing agendas.
Why just pick on FOX ???????

Frankly it ought to be beneath the presidency to focus in on a news outlet. Besides the "control" issues the Obama administration seems to have (they want to control everything from their position in government – not exactly the definition of freedom is it?).

But if Obama thinks he ought to go after Fox News then go for it! LOL! It just makes him and his administration look weak (or weaker, would be the word). We love you president Gelding!

Jack,

Sometimes, the truth hurts. It is no secret that Fox news is nothing but a GOP propaganda machine!

-MIke, FL

Dunn is a backpedaling liar.

She did not just quote MAO.... She said he was her favorite philosopher....

We are not talking socrates or plato here boys and girls...

She supports and idealizes a communist and his regime...

Dunn = back pedaling liar. Period.

in last recent months Fox has been so one sided news compare to any other news station in america. i think all these media needs to be stay away from political party's and report for the people not for the party. that's what they for. fox always has problem with Obama....it gives all its afford to make every single move from Obama administration looks negative..yes if its negative then it should be cover but they shouldn't make things just negative no matter what...fox really needs to grow up and do their work....

The president should not get side tracked here. So far, no one can convince their pundits of anything but what they believe to be true however irresponsible it is. They're only feeding the fire to a company whose only goal is ratings.

As a frequent viewer of Fox News I think she's correct that they show a strong bias to the right.

By shutting them out the White House is probably helping them short term in that it no doubt is boosting their ratings some. Long term though my guess is that it will further drive them right and they will lose a lot of the independant voters they now have???

Time will tell.

The white house attacks Fox news because they won't kiss Obama's liberal butt. Fox tells both sides of the story and not just a warm fluffy Obama side. Fox exposes the Obama lies and he gets irate that someone questions him. Poor, Poor Obama. Throw a temper tantrum and blame the big old bad Fox when you dont get your way.

Why is the White House so concerned about Fox News? They are one network out of how many that are under Obama's wing?! He shouldn't be concern unless he doesn't like people talking about him negatively (if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen!) How many times did Bush get bashed by the "liberal" networks like MSNBC?! He never said anything about it.

I'm no fan of
Fox, but jes-o-man, have these nitwits ever listened to MSNBC and it's "perspective"? Oh, that's right MSNBC is an arm of the Democratic party so that makes it OK. Do these Obamites think the rest of us are as stupid as they apparently are?

Don't like it when someone disagrees with you? Did someone hurt a politician's feelings? Awwww!! Too bad!

I can't believe the media aren't being smarter about this and Michael Savage being banned in Britain. If one is silenced, then eventually, ALL will be silenced.

The media should WELCOME all voices who are responsible and present the facts. That is true Freedom of Speech. Fox News, like CNN, has shows for news and opinions. I haven't seen that on MSNBC in years, which is why I usually can't stomach more than a few seconds on that channel.

Very stupid...it reflects his arrogance...his admin kicked the press (foreign and domestic) out of the National Press Club during a lecture to Azerbejan on creating democracy (the irony is astounding)..he kicked those members of the press that did not endorse him off the press plane during his campaign and now this...he likes to control the media which only insults those with truly unbiased attitudes. He never had the Conservatives...and now the common-sense Independents who carried the election for him have left him in droves...

Aaaaaah this sounds like "sour grapes" CNN. OR maybe a ratings "thingy"? Get on with the real news, huh!

Not only good strategy.... absolutely necessary. Too many Americans absorb Faux News output out of pure ignorance. Furthermore, responsible journalists and organizations should ALSO be calling Faux News on the carpet. Hint to CNN...

Mike In Columbus, OH.

Axelrod and Emanuel are right - It is not a news organization. The only people that watch Fox News are far right fanantics, democratic strategists interested in what the other side is saying, and comedians looking for material

Standing up to a bully is always a good idea. Besides, it doesn't matter what our President and the Democrats do – the GOP and its lackeys want him and our country to fail, so they will always find fault.

May as well push back on all the Fox lies – there are many more Americans (the thinking kind) who see it for what it is than not.

I don't see why Fox should be able to get away with bending the truth and downright untruths. They blatently hope fro the president to fail. There are many people who are just not that engaged in what's going on, have little curiosity, and believe everything they hear. They need to know the truth! It's time to point out what they really are, NOT THE NEWS.

It's true, they are an arm of the republican party, I have not watched Fox news since Bush's second election. Fox has no news just doom and gloom and finger pointing. It's an outlet for jeolous and envious republicans to sound off, a right wing talk show with several host, nothing more.

I guess having one network that covers both sides of the issue is just too much for them. They got CNN to fact check SNL, and MSNBC is conservative bashing from morning till night. As long as it works they might as well do it.
The Whine House

Fox and News is an oxymoron. They have not even a nodding acquaintance with the truth. Everything on Fox is a crypto nazi slant or rant

The truth hurts does it not Fox Republican Net Work.

They get to continue their one sided reportingt. The President is not trying to shut it down.

So why is the right so upset? Because the President is calling it like it is.

Even the President has freedom of speech like the rest of us and so do they(i.e FRNW).

Either Fox News is a news organization by the White House standards or it is not. If the White House disregards Fox has legitimate news provider, what's the problem? The Administration is only legitimizing Fox's presence by creating curiosity for those who don't watch the cable network. The White House appears to be distracted by Fox and leads Americans to believe the “Fox” issue is more imperative than Afghanistan, deficits, national debt, health care and the environment.

Why is this White House is so afraid of Fox News? I'm guessing that the answer to that question would frighten most Americans.

Silly them for questioning anything to do wth the current administration. How dare they?!?!?!

Ia FOX(rightwing)views is really news....that would be news

Fox has got to love all the attention they're getting from this W.H. The Moderate to Progressive Dems know their days are numbered and Fox has gotten under their skin. Happy days are here again. Dunn, Axelrod, and Emanuel are the greatest things to come along for Conservatism and the Republican Party since Ronald Reagan.

You are a weak, weak, man Jack Cafferty, just like Obama is a weak man; maybe limp would be a better word.

Chicago loves the Cubs, and they are nicknamed the 'Lovable Losers". Maybe it is just a Chicago thing that we don't understand.

What's up with her hair? Does the refraction of the light off of those lenses cause that much discoloration?

So how does Obama and Dunn and the administration treat the other major "news" networks?

..... as political "suck-ups" ????

The fascists in the Obama Administration will not tolerate any dissent or an opposing point of view. And you thought Richard Nixon was bad?

I get all my news from Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.

They are the only ones telling the truth and they are entertaining when they do it.

I think their plan is back-firing. Fox is smashing the competition and as more first-timers (with open minds) tune in, they like what they see and stick around. They're getting the stuff, not the fluff, that other networks are ignoring.

Obama shows how shallow and "chicago-style" he is. He always has an enemy. He has hired left-wing idiots and mob-style politicians. In these times, he has 3 different people high up in his administration attacking a cable news network??? Maybe he should focus answering the accurate portrayal of a failed presidency that Beck makes the case for.

Fox is the Enquirer of News........or the Star.......they are a tabloid news channel.......I refuse to watch it ........ never have ....... never will.........I like the real news the truth not a bunch of idiots trying to stir up trouble all the time......most news networks try to be in the center of things, but you can tell Fox is the channel that supports the far right wing conservative illtierate, morons....

talk about diverity, the Chairman has now surrounded himself with Marxist, Communist, Socialist and now Maoists. BE AFRAID AMERICA.

Not sure why you assume the White House has started another war it can't win – the only wars I know of that were started that can't be won were started by Bush and the GeeNopers. Whether it is good strategy or not, it has certainly forced CNN and the rest of the cable news organizations to publicize and discuss the issue. It has also forced F.O.X. (an acronym for Flubbering Old Xenophobes) News to respond and defend itself, and any time F.O.X. has to stop the race-baiting and hate-mongering – if only to react – it's a win for the over-all enlightenment of the United States of America.

Ah, yes! David Axelrod, wasn't he the guy that made a fortune off of "astro-turfing"? I'm not sure, but I think he lays claim as an inventor of the technique. Or, perhaps he's just a generation or two removed (Goebbels, Alinsky), but who am I to try and connect the dots?

No. Once again, the assumption is being made that there are actual operative minds involved. Well, there are, but they are the ones yanking the chains of the great unwashed. The people at the top will not listen because they like to stay on top. The people below them are too feeble minded to realize what is being done to them. Darwin would predict the whole lot of them will just die off . . . hopefully.

Why not, Cafferty? False News (oh, my apologies, its Fox News) whatever news they have, which is all but propaganda warfare against the President and the Democratic Party. Without a doubt, False News is an arm of the republican party.

Calling Fox a news channel is like comparing Sarah Palin to Albert Einstein. In our wonderful, free-speech society, Fox is just a place where the bigots, racists and psuedo, wannabee intellectuals camp out to spew their daily vitriolic dose of disfunction...and get paid to do it! For me, the talking "news" heads on this sad channel are on the same "entertainment" level as the silliest reality TV show. What a country.

Glen Beck said that Pres. Obama hates white people. So he hates his mother, his maternal grandparents, and all other family members of his who are white?

This is an example of Fox News hysterical, inane, and most of all desperate attempts to deride an illustrious President Obama who has done so much in his first months. The Republicans are floundering, grabbing at any dirt they can. It is obvious to anyone who has half a brain. To coin a psychological phrase, "projection" is Glen Beck's ploy. I understand it is difficult for most simple-minded leading Republicans to understand a "complex concept" like "projection", but it is the majority of Republicans who hate black people. Get it?

You guys are hilarious. In a story about how Obama is calling Fox a biased news organization you can't resist your own typical spin on the news. For example:

"Dunn is now in a dust-up with Fox News' Glenn Beck, concerning a speech where she quoted Communist leader Mao Tse Tung. Beck calls that "insanity:. "

What is insane is how you can get away with deliberately mis-reporting the "dust-up". Nobody, not even Glenn Beck is complaining that Dunn "quoted Communist leader Mao Tse Tung". What Glenn Beck (and many others) are calling "insanity" is the fact that Dunn LISTED MAO AS ONE OF HER TWO FAVORITE POLITICAL PHILOSOPHERS. You lying, partisan, biased pack of pigs. You can't even report the news on a story about reporting the news.

This is why CNN is a joke. Every actual study of bias in news reporting has shown that Fox is more balanced than CNN, NBC, ABC and CBS. But then again, don't let "facts" get in the way of presenting your agenda.

I always thought that it was FALSE ADVERTISMENT to call the station Fox NEWS!

Listen, I don't like Fox News. I feel like I have to take an acid bath if I accidentally land on that channel. However, it really isn't a good idea to be insulting people. I know they say horrible and false things about this administration, but don't give it life by commenting negatively on it.

fox news is a 24 hour editorial with a conservative slant. everyone knows that, and fox doesnt try to hide it. its entertainment television, much like most of what every other "news" channel broadcasts, including CNBC and CNN. so whats the big deal. if you dont like what they say, change the cannel.

Did Bush Jr tell Karl Rove to read a book on Mao Tse Tung?

I think I made my point about Fox news...

I agree, fox news is not news but a perspective point of view of the owner. I stopped watching fox during the presidential election, because of their unfair practices, in fact I do not watch anything on fox.

It's a distraction. There are no pure news channels as each news report is colored by the writer and reporter based on his own bias. It's only that Fox is admittedly conservative while CNN and others that are liberal leaning are more to the Adminstration's liking.

Look at what happened in the 50's when the opposite viewpoint was in power and Joe McCarthy went after the liberal left.

Wow. This is an interesting battle for the White House to pick.

Fox actually does go to great lengths to have both sides of their discussions represented. This is more than I have ever seen on NBC, CBS or ABC. I guess the administration does not support honest open debate of the country's issues?

I agree, fox news is not new but a perspective point of view of the owner. I stopped watching fox during the presidential election, because of their unfair practices, in fact I do not watch anything on fox.

See? That's why China controls their media. It's not easy pushing a Socialist agenda without media control.

No offense to CNN, but Fox is one of the top rated cable news networks. More people watch Fox than any other network.

Sure they have Glen Beck, MSNBC has Madows and Obermen. Last time I checked those two critized Bush every chance they got. You didn't hear Bush cry about it.

Obama wants to "call people out". Well Fox is calling him out on his appointments, his staff, and his policies...JUST LIKE A NEWS STATION SHOULD.

Thank GOD for Fox News.

The problem is not just with Fox "News" the cable news industry has decided that ratings and advertising dollars are more important than facts and context.
Fox is just the most extreme of the catering to a certain ideology and playing to the fears of a certain political base.
Let's talk about the real issue, instead of the garbage on the surface... How about you dig a little deeper and take a good look in the mirror. CNN likes to think they don't do the same stuff, but they are just as guilty because this question is "Should the White House.... bla bla bla". When it should "Should cables news channels play to ideologies instead of just stating the facts in context and in a well thought out way. "

Come on Obama Administration. There are more pressing matters than attacking free speech (especially Fox news) like job unemployment, wars and people losing their SSS COLAs. Fox News is a trusted network having the top 9 mostly viewed and respected news from Orielly to Hannity to Glenn Beck to Greta. The White House is attacking not just Fox News but citizens who believe in free speech, and unbias news and opinions. Are we heading to communism when the government had to control what we say, what we eat, what we think, and how we want to live our lives? Come on Mr. President leave the past behind (but it looks like you and your team are heading backwards). Stop blaming people.

"...to go after Fox News." I don't see anybody in the WH going after Fox News; they are just stating the facts. These facts have been obvious for years now. For the people at Fox to feign surprise and disappointment at this, and to complain for being called out on their miserable behavior as a "news" organization, is all part of the rightwing fairytale view of the world. Only birth-baggers support FoxNews, and only because it fits in with their uber-partisan religion.

It's a sad state of affairs when the _U.S._Government_ is trying to censor an American news organization. Let's grow up a little bit; this isn't middle school. If someone's a flat out liar (libel), take it to court and see how well your argument holds up. If you're right, we'll know–but if you're just a whining baby, we'll see that, too.

Fox News is a sick bunch of idiots. Really they embarass themselves enough on their own. What a joke they are. They go after the weak minded people who can not think for themselves. I am surprised they have any sponsors.

Considering this administration has zero credibility, they would be wise to give it a rest.

I don't know if the fox news is the arm of the Republican Party, but they never have anything good to say about our President Barack Obama is doing

Glenn Beck is certainly an authority on insanity! As for Fox "news", it's been obvious for years they only have one voice and it's for the far right. Now that someone has called them on it, they've got their panties in a great big wad. They have yet to say anything positive about President Obama or his administration and probably never will. But, as the republican party continues to wither away, along with it's in your face hate/fear mongering, so will Fox "news". I personally will be glad to see them both gone.

Given that one of the Senior White House advisors says that Mao (who was responsible for the deaths of over 30 million people) is one of her favorite political philosophers, I would think that the White House would keep their collective mouths shut.

Brought to you by the same folks that will stand at the 50 yard line in a snowstorm in Foxboro in the middle of OCTOBER and still decry that we need to FIX global warming.

Glenn Beck is certainly an authority on insanity! As for Fox "news", it's been obvious for years they only have one voice and it's for the far right. Now that someone has called them on it, they're screaming their heads off. They have yet to say anything positive about President Obama or his administration and probably never will. But, as the angry right wing party (currently known as the republican party) continues to wither away, along with it's in your face hate/fear mongering, so will Fox "news". I personally will be glad to see them both gone.

Fox News and the GOP are a JOKE and I don't think it's very funny.

Sure, let Obama go after Fox. After all, Obama went after the Olympics and lost that. In fact, he was humiliated in front of the whole world. I can't think of how many networks were against Bush during his presidency, but Bush didnt go after them, no, in fact Bush had much bigger things to do than worry about what some network was saying about him. Obama must have all the time in the world to stay awake at night thinking of the big bad Fox network. For shame!

Funny how so many things of such great importance seem to go by without any News reporting whatsoever. I like FOX, they seem to express the malcontent that I feel on how our Government is failing us daily and it is not just Obama. The current Administration seems to do nothing other than to exacerbate a horrible economic condition, but then what would you expect from career bureaucrat elitists? Wow, the DOW tops 10,000, great, Wall Street investors are back making money thanks to our tax dollars while the rest of America is rotting on the vine without even a glimmer of new job creation.

It is times like this that I often ask myself what would chairman Mao do?

Anita Dunn- Loves Mao... she's a communist.

Van Jones- self admitted, radical revolutionary communist.

Every one with a "social justice" agenda- wealth redistributing communists.

President Obama – because the Supreme Court never ventured in to the issues of redistribution of wealth, he looks for the groups that form the coalitions of power through which you bring about REDISTRIBUTIVE CHANGE.

HELLO AMERICA- WE ELECTED A MARXIST.

Copenhagen Climate Treaty 2009- GLOBAL MARXISM. It is a massive transfer of wealth from rich to poor countries.

TIME TO WAKE UP

cnn i bet you won't post this. shocker.

Call them out so people know what they really are! People are gullible, so you have to make their intentions known. FUX website also block bloggers who defend the President. They only allow bloggers who post insulting comments about the President.

Obama cant handle a media that tells what he is up to.

OBAMA LIES AND LIES.

No way it is just a waste of time; however Obama should go on one of the programs to defend himself.

President Obama and his advisors will fail, because they are so inept.

Why would the leader of the free world, villify any 'American' anything?

American Presidents should be busy villifying OUR ENEMIES. President Obama is using the oval office as a bully pulpit to attack,
Wall Street, Insurance Companies, and now Fox News.

Do you see him as Presidential? If so.. name one way.. just one way.

Democrats made movies about Bush being assassinated and prayed for his death for 8 years, Bush said nothing.

Obama has one news outlet that dares to report the truth about him and his administration, and he is out to destroy them and send a strong message to any who dares to oppose him that there will be consequences unless you shut up and start marching.

What type of American supported Rather's lies about Bush but wants to censor Fox News for exposing the truth about Obama and his administration (ACORN-Van Jones-Health Care funding ETC)? A patriot is loyal to his or her nation, not some political party. A president needs to be kept in check, the threat of abuse of power is so great that we need checks, and sad to say but Fox News and talk radio are all we have today. How anyone could be against them is beyond me, but then again I live in a blue state and see that such people exist. They are not like the right that welcomed and participated in honest critiques of the last president.

It is about time to call it FOX for what it is. It is not only a mouth piece for republican Party but is contributing hate mongering through likes of Hannity, O'Reilly . I only watch Football games on FOX. I do not believe their news is realy NEWS.

Let's be clear ,CNN. Ms. Dunn did not "quote Mao" but rather she referenced him as the philosopher with the greatest influence on her!
That is significant and astonishing !!! Beck was right to call her out for it. Please aim for accuracy in your reporting, even if it might tarnish your White House allies.

Why pretend that Fox is a true media outlet or that they are truly "fair & balanced" ?

The Republican Party is a disgrace and an abomination. There is something putrid about these guys and gals. The Republican Parties of past decades did not make me want to shower after I hear or see them speak on issues. I think it may have started with the Newt Gingrich Crew a few years back.

BHO can and should offer interviews to Fox channel. He must try and beat 'em in their own game.

I would comment, but Jack never allows my posts.
Needless to say if you disagree with this Administration you are going to be called bad names, you are not allowed to question this government.
Jack just look at this national debt total as of today, are you going to continue to allow your government to spend your freedom and that of your children and grandchildren away over the next remaining three plus years?
This Government should be upset with more than just "Fox" if the rest of you were really looking out for the Nation to remain a free nation.
Look at the national debt clock again, see it is all most 12 trillion dollars. This debt is enslaving every American for many generations to come.

Since MSM will not point out defective "reporting" than somebody has to.

If you remember Pres. Obama promised to "Call them out" when anyone or any organization continually plays fast and loose with the facts.

It's good to see that his staff is at least keeping this promise when it comes to the say anything – no fact checking that goes on at ClusterFOX "News"...

the liberals of the country have their house news organ-MSNBC and the conservatives have theirs-Fox News. It belittles the office of president for Obama and his mouthpieces going after an organization just because it opposes his policies. It is reminiscent of Richard Nixon.

The Obama administration does not seem to understand the difference between the news segments and the political commentary on fox news. Shows such as Beck's are commentary much like shows on msnbc such as Rachel Maddow. This spat with fox news is doing nothing more than promoting the station and making the administration look like children.

when your have policies that most people want and your administration sucks because they cannot defend the policies, then find someone to go after and blame them. Straight out of the Alinsky playbook.

Compared to the whining that Clinton and Obama did out Limbaugh and Fox, I am impressed with how Bush reacted to the constant hit jobs from the rest of the media.

Heck – during the Dem primaries, they would not go on Fox for a debate, yet the Repubs had the guts to face Olbermann and Matthews.

2010 is looking better all the time. Keep doing what your doing Obama.

It is what it is. It seems to me a strong case could be made using nothing but a comparison of facts and the on-air reporting of Fox vs. other news agencies, especially PBS, NPR and BBC.

It could be argued that all of our big network news agencies are something less than real news, but in Fox's case it's often night and day.

I think Fox should have to display a disclaimer before each of their shows, stating that it is entertainment and not news, especially before shows like Glen Beck.

Glenn Beck is certainly an authority on insanity! As for Fox "news", it's been obvious for years they only have one voice and it's for the far right. Now that someone has called them on it, they've got their panties in a great big wad. They have yet to say anything positive about President Obama or his administration and probably never will. But, as the angry right wing party (currently known as the republican party) continues to wither away, along with it's in your face hate/fear mongering, so will Fox "news". I personally will be glad to see them both gone.

No. I think it gives them more credit than they're due. Besides, this kind of nonsense comes with the territory in being president. It makes the president looked distracted. You can't say on the one hand "we don't listen to them" and then send out your attack dogs. That makes no sense.

Funny how if they can't control the message it is no longer a news worthy channel. I would hope in the United States opposing points of view would be embraced. Slanted or not every politician needs scrutiny and to go to a name calling level with a news or opinion organization is a mistake.

Beck is DANGEROUS and should return to the rodeo!!

Beck will be the first person to tell you he is not a journalist....

Any fool that states that her greatest political philosopher is Mao, then makes the umitigated faux pax of using Mother Theresa's name in the same sentence it just asking for it. I saw the viseo and there was no irony evident.
I agree with Beck. Touting Mao's ideas as good political philosophy is tatamount to condoning Hilter's final solution.
But hey keep it up whitehouse, you are showing your foolishness by attacking the only news agency not in your pocket.You know the only reason your Messiah will not show up fro interviews is that he would have to answer difficult questions..so keep on scheduling him on Letterman where he belongs

The Obumbles Administration is just showing that it can't take it when people call them on their lies. They expect everyone just to roll over and take whatever they spew out. Fortunately for America, FOX still believes in telling the truth.

Obama is not the first American black president, he is the first American translucent president. His skin is so thin, you can see things moving behind him.

Anyone who listens to Fox is misguided, Misled and stupid!

It was unprofessional for the administration to make such comments about Fox News.

If the administration does not support Fox News, the administration should have just said nothing about them.

Jack, what would you do if a so called news organization continually reported opinions as fact and also promoted news in order to cover it. I think that you would find it necessary to fight back as well. And just for the record, when did this White house start a war?

If they really cared about this issue wouldn't they be pushing against MSNBC too?

Fow News should be outlawed !!!

OK, Fox News has a right-wing perspective–and MSNBC is an Obama lapdog. If you love Obama, you can watch MSNBC; if you're skeptical of him, you can watch Fox News. This is America; something for everyone!!!

I think it is great the FOX NEWS pushes back on the OBUMMER administration. They seem to be the only ones pointing out the negative issues of the OBUMMER agenda, and have been proven right on many, many issues:
See VAN JONES
See ACORN
See HC taxes and associated costs

Poor Obummer, he can't seem to take the heat in the kitchen.

Wah, wah, wah. Obummer is such a cry baby

the white house has no business expressing any opinions about any news agency. Any effort to control news media should be looked upon as dictatorship by censorship. Makes it look like the admin has things they don't want reported. I listen to several of the other news agencies as well and it seems all of them are biased for this admin. MSNBC seems especially so,sometimes to the point it's disgusting. The reporters on some of these news shows are blatant leftist just as fox has blatant rightist. I do think that if you should have someone keeping an eye open to what goes on, and report it. If it had not been for fox reporting on the background of some of the many czars, we would have had many foxes in the hen house.

Look, all news now contains bias and commentary. Fox is no more biased than CNN (or MSNBC, etc.), it is just that other news networks are sneakier and on Obama's side for the most part. That is why this administration is going after Fox in particular. (I say this as someone who gets my news from many sources and does not lean universally one way or the other.)

All that aside, though, look at the ratings. For the most part, Fox has more viewers than all other major news networks combined. The American people are disproportionately getting their news from Fox, so whether you think it is news or not, it is a source of information for many. If the President chooses to ignore Fox, it is because he is willing to ignore a massive part of our population who get their news from Fox. That seems like a bad move and pretty petty to me. Why can't Obama actually be different than Bush and not squelch or minimize every person that disagrees with him?

Every remark I ever hear from others is from Fox. The VA does not have Fox on their cable and for that I am grateful. I already have enough on my hands dealing with a vascular demented veteran. Everyone has the right to listen to whatever they want to negative or not.

It is an awsome strategy – it tells us that the White House thinks we "can't handle the truth."

Truths such as the plan to pull the plug on your Grandma so a privilaged few can get their hands on the money that was promised for her Medicare.

AXELROD YOU'RE NOT A REAL ADVISOR EITHER. IF THIS IS THE BEST ADVICE YOU CAN GIVE THEN SOMEONE NEEDS TO TAKE A LOOK AT YOU. You say Fox is biased (Probably-someone has to be ) What about CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS for Democrats. You can not really believe any of these networks for the total truth. Don't you know they have to glorify their articles to make them attention getters. LIKE SPENDING A WHOLE WEEK ON REPORTS OF THE BOY IN THE BALLOON. COMMON SENSE WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU NO WAY. THE BOY COULDN'T BE LIFTED BY THAT TYPE OF BALLOON NOR COULD HE BREATHE THE HELIUM LONG ENOUGH TO SURVIVE. PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS.

The problem with FOX NEWS it really is not news at all. FOX NEWS is in the pocket of the GOP and BIG BUSINESS. FOX NEWS should be called FIXED NEWS. According to FOX NEWS President Obama cannot even buy the right type of toliet paper.

Please enough time waisted on "FOX FIXED NEWS"

As many other comments have said in other stories related to this: Did you ever see Bush go after any of the major news outlets that were outright cruel to him? No because if he would done so, the left would have criminalized him even more, which would've been aided by the media outlets. Nothing like pot calling the kettle....

Everyone knows Fox News is fair and balanced, they tell everyone that! I suppose it is if your a Conservative......YELLOW JOURNALISM IS ALIVE AND WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone has to. Nobody else is doing anything to stop their lying.

THe Obama administration is doing what Cnn was doing about a month ago when Fox news didnt cover the Tea Bag protesters and they said Fox news You Lie! and Cnn also said Fox news distorting not reporting but as far as should they be going after Fox news my suggestion would be NO because Fox news will always have negative comments when it comes to President Obama and his Administration just last nite Sean Hannity called Hillary Clinton a liar now tell me what did the President or Hillary Clinton do to Sean Hannity or Glen Beck and any one on Fox for them to attack the white house like this? All President Obama did was ran for President and then got voted in by the American people and Fox news went crazy i feel they dont know how to handle this President because of his calmness and im Thankful to GOD that he is, thats right President Obama keep being humble let GOD handle your enemies and you will be just fine!

Very bad to go after Fox News. Unlike MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC....Fox News can back their reports with fact.

The White House should totally ignore Fox News. All W.H. staffers need to be told not to comment to any questions regarding Fox, Limbaugh, Palin, or Beck.

Just another example of the Administration's policy of "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it". They seem to have learned from the best.......

No, the WH is above this and should not go after any media outlet in a democracy! (But some politicians brewed in local dirt cannot help it!)

This is not only ridiculous, but a complete waste of time. Every news channel has commentary, opinion and perspective. Tired of the whining about this. Get to work on the real issues!

I'm not sure what you're asking Jack. It seems as if Beck and Fox are only showing video of administration members "in their own words" and then the administration says "are you going to believe us or your own eyes?, We didn't say that." Or will most believe the administration when they say "Oh, we mispoke", or when they say, "that was taken out of context".

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice...

ABSOLUTEY! Didn't the Bush press secy go after MSNBC repeatedly during the Bush years debacle! Faux Noise does not cover news they spread their own ideology! For example, they covered the tea party march in DC but didn't realized that thousands of gay rights activist were marching in DC recently! But if its a "beat up on Obama" party you can expect them to be the special guests!

FOX is not a news station and should have its licenses pulled.

I love that Glenn Beck is calling someone insane. Grandma always said something like that was, " the pot calling the kettle black".

The White House is just calling it the way they see it. Fox News will never go away – but it should not be considered in the same family as CNN. Maybe the White House is just raising public awareness... Besides, from what I can tell – Fox News is proud to be reporting on events from a more conservative minded position. It is why they formed.

Fox is just as much a news organization/channel as MSNBC, so it's pretty hypocritical to just pick on Fox. Every time MSNBC people even mention Obama's name they pick up a breath mint...

Once again, Fox "news" distorts things to stir up hate and fear.
No news there.

FOX News is a Joke. Nothing but a bunch of uninformed lunatics twisting the truth.
