I guess Deering forgot that Fox egged the house before going to the door. Amazing how Fox supporters so easily forget the facts.

Faux has been putting that burning bag on the porch for a long time, and finally stepped on it themselves- let their supporters wipe their feet and kiss their poor upset little foreheads. What a bunch of whiners!

Deservedly so Fox. Why should the Whitehouse include the National Inquirer Misinformation propaganda station,Fox.

Yeah, I remember all those times George W. Bush whined about MSNBC, pointed fingers at Keith Olbermann, had his press secretary dismiss CNN, and—
–wait.
None of that ever happened.
Bush appeared at White House Press Corps dinners and shook hands with his worst detractors, kissed Helen Thomas’s scaly, reptilian claws while smiling directly into her eyes, put his arms around the shoulders of the same lefty teevee journalists who falsely accused him on an almost daily basis, and so on and so forth.
George Bush had the Christianity thing down in some ways which I have never quite managed. Just as I have the Christianity thing down in other ways which HE never quite managed.
Ah, the body of Christ! Such diversity… e pluribus unum!

slightly confused as usual scotty
Bush didnt take questions from Helen Thomas because she asked tough questions and Dana Parino admited they didn’t take questions from msnbc as they were persona non grata
so to say “none of that ever happened” with the Bush administration would of course be incorrect.

Bush was in office for eight years. Outside of Press Dinners (where at least once and I bet every time, W did indeed grant personal attention upon Helen Thomas) I saw Helen Thomas more than once granted indulgent amounts of time from Tony Snow, with my own eyes. I even joked that Helen probably had a crush on Tony, he always smiled at her so winningly! And I seriously doubt that MSNBC NEVER got to ask any questions, not once, ever. So it is you who are being selective with the truth, not me.
Tony Snow was by far Bush’s best. God took Tony home for himself, that’s how good he was!
And just for you, here’s Helen Thomas “nailing” Bush on Iraq:

Man, talk about Helen basically screaming “So Dubya, when did you stop beating your wife??”

scott’: God did not “call Tony Snow home.” Tony died.
bueller said, 3 months ago
I’m not a FOX supporter, I hope the rock is tasty, and Helen
Thomas is one of the finest journalists to ever grace the
White House press corps.

Bueller - good ‘toon. Ignore scott. He’s escalated from personal anecdotes with surreal and paranoid theories to delusions of godhood, that apparently Jesus sent him to harass people on the GoComics board. Go figure. Maybe Jesus is keeping him busy.

motivemagus, you really don’t think it can happen here, do you?
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn’t a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
cdward said, 3 months ago
nomad are you equating negative comments about Fox with the Nazi regime?
motivemagus said, 3 months ago
nomad, don’t be silly. Bush was the one who eliminated our right to privacy and introduced the Patriot Act. Why don’t you go after him?
nomad2112 said, 3 months ago
Negative comments cdward? No, this is not just about the Nazi regime although that is the one that Martin Niemöller struggled against and suffered under. The Obama administration is singling out, attacking and, attempting to sensor a major media outlet just for telling an opposing view. These are the traits of Tyranny. What if the Bush administration had shut down the press corps and allowed access to Fox News alone. I can only imagine the fevered pitch of the leftist caterwauling.
Right to privacy motivemagus? Has Roe v. Wade been repealed? You want to talk about the right to privacy? Why is it the governments business how much or little my annual income is? Want to know how much the Patriot Act effected my life - a big fat ZERO. I sincerely doubt that you had any “men in black” posted across the street from your residence either.

I watch all of the cable news channels at various times. Seems to me there is a big tendency for people to only
tune in to what they want to hear. In other words, we seem
to all suffer from , as Baron Von Trapp said in “the Sound
of Music”, ” An incredible lack of curiosity”.
I’ve mentioned before that i’m not a fan of FOX. I do watch it,
though, from time to time - MSNBC, also. But both of them
tend to focus mainly on certain aspects of news and they
are both selective, probably to varying degrees.One has a
conservative agenda, the other a liberal agenda.
And I won’t muddy the water by trying to address whether
these agendas even represent “true ” conservatism or
liberalism as they tend to be presented on FOX and MSNBC.
I don’t know if Obama is doing himself any favors by shutting out FOX. He’s probably just giving his opponents
ammunition.
After all, Bush gave Bob Woodward pretty good access, and in the end, when it was all said and done, what did it
really cost him?
I think that the point at which a president’s numbers start to go down is when his supporters - the folks who became
caught up in his message at some point and voted for him,
start to become disillusioned when the real person they
voted for comes into focus, and starts to edge out the “image” they voted for. We tend to project a lot of hopes
and wishful thinking on our candidates.At some point, reality
steps in ( like we saw in the case of , ahem, candidate Fred
Thompson.)
So … the damage to presidents and presidential candidates is, by far, of the self-inflicted variety. But you
can’t run in the first place with an ego that’s normal enough
that you’d ever believe that.
And I think that is why presidents will continue to see the “media”, objective or not, as the enemy.

Or is that U.N.?

cdward said, 3 months ago
nomad, I’m afraid you do not understand the meaning of “censor” (I’m assuming that’s what you meant by sensor):
To censor means to examine material before it is released to determine whether it is acceptable or not, and to officially suppress that parts that are not acceptable. To refuse to allow a news outlet access or to refuse to be interviewed by a particular news outlet is not censorship.

Scott,
Thanks for the link. I enjoyed it.
Yes, Bush was right, Thomas ’ presupposition was a fact not entered into evidence.
But if one has a touch of background on the situation one will know that Paul Wolfowitz had the “Wolfowitz Doctrine” drawn up during the Bush administration, the George H. Bush administration. The WD was the justification for “Pre-emptive War” which the Bush administration was all about instituting from day one “After all, this is a man who tried to kill my daddy!” W.
And then, as Bush is not answering the question, we get to hear him say that Iraq was harboring terrorists and Al Queda which, by the time of this press conference wasn’t only disproved but was actively denied by that administration that they had ever made the case that Iraq was involved with 9/11. But W. slipped off message and went back to the earlier message before he walked himself around to the (then) current message.
Again, thanks for the link. Perhaps you might take a 3 to 4 minutes to look at it and come to the realization that it doesn’t say what you think it says.
Happens to us all, I for one just found out that the lyrics are: Sitting in an English Garden
Waiting for the sun
If the sun don’t come
you’ll get you tan from
standing in the English rain.
I had no idea what he was saying until I turned the music down and actually listened with my ears.
