This Is Exactly Why The White House Considers Fox News Illegitimate
By Logan Murphy Monday Oct 19, 2009 11:00am
Obama officials went on the offensive on the talk show circuit last Sunday, reminding America and the corporate media that Fox News is not a legitimate news organization.
Staying true to their entertainment format, on Monday Fox News responded by putting up a poll on their website and what do you know...all of the choices are incorrect and none of them allow for the possibility that Obama is right.
What a knee-slapper! Feel free to re-write your own reality-based poll for them in the comments.

I love it!
Of course in their little world no way Obama is right about anything - ever!
The criticism is richly deserved. They are not a legitimate news organization.
FOX IS not news nor not cable news - yippee!
That means, MSNBC is Number 1 cable news source!
Fox News is whining and playing the victim because:
1) They heard Ann Coulter was going to write another book on that topic and they wanted to be on the cover this time.
2) They heard Sarah Palin was out doing them in this arena and they won't stand for it any longer.
3) They are the propaganda wing for the party that wrecked America and they need another distraction.
4) I don't know
Why is FOX News the most awesomeness news channel on the planet?
1) We like boobs.
2) We have flashy graphics.
3) We don't let facts get in the way of a good story.
4) Because those that don't watch FOX News will find Dick Cheney eating their their kittens and puppies.
Why Do You Watch Fox News?
_ The docter droped me on my hed when I wuz born
_ Boogers tastes gud.
_ Uncle Daddy sez Burrack Obamma is a Fashist Commie
_ They ain't no NASCAR raices on rite now.
Cuz when I'm havin sex wit ma bruder day make noise.
"Libruls" an' MSNBC is a travesty to the Clampette Klan and the Bodines.
It is a distraction, any thinking person knows the Corporate Media equals Corporate Propaganda.
A better question for me is:
Why doesn't the White House come clean on its own servitude to the Banskters (and Health Care Mobsters and the Military Industrial Complex Gangsters and the Telecom Gestapo etc etc etc)
Like slavery, the Corporate State cannot be reformed, it must be ended before it ends us.
with ya shoulder to shoulder
A) Fox News NEVER mislabels public figures in news captions.

B) Fox News edits its own Wikipedia article & the White House is jealous of it.

C) Approx. 2 million Teabagger protesters can't be wrong!

D) Fox News Scalps 1, White House Scalps 0.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/06/glen...
The real reason:
Because even their 'news' segments ALWAYS have negative headlines streaming across the bottom of the screen. They report bullsh!t lies & skew facts with their own biased polls & then we're forced to decide with them or else Bill O'Reilly will cut you off when you try to have a civil conversation with him.
Can I say that . . douchebaggy?
Cramthra would ask why are they such cocksuckers?
They say it on the CW network, so yeah.
...Teabagging.
Teabagging is more appropriate for Beckerheads,
Why Do You Watch Fox News?
_ You're a flag-sucking half-wit
_ You have an unhealthy "Daddy" fixation
_ You're a racist pig
_ You have a unquenchable and inexplicable attraction to Greta Van Susteren (pre-op)
I hope that the President ignores that bullshit station for eight years.
I hope the FCC yanks their license and the INS deports that rat bastard Murdoch back to Australia as an undesirable.
Why Do You Watch Fox News?
_ Would we have allowed Nazi Germany to host the Olympics?
_ Get Government out of Medecine
_ Respect are country! Speak English!
_ Politians are like Dipers
Because if it's a SATIRE on how stupid Faux's two-toothed trailer-trash audience is, you should have SAID so.
This is how the poll should have read:
1) FOX News is overdue for a reality check.
2) FOX News is REALLY overdue for a reality check.
3) FOX News sucks Dick!
"Fox News makes fewer factual errors in a year than (the) Obama (administration) does in a week, maybe even a day."

Why I love FOX

I'm not touching your Pole. I don't even know who he is.
... as long as "They" refers to Fox News. Quite accurate really.
'nuff said
I may have heard Joe Scarborough wrong this morning but I thought he said the bush administration wouldn't allow any of their people to come on MSNBC back during those horrid eight years.
Mika and Joe felt they had to defend Fox regarding the white house "attack". If they feel their own stations is fair and balanced why not call out a station that isn't? I think it's damned cool this white house is calling out Fox News Channel for what it really is. 'Bout time someone did it besides all of us.
Mika also defended Rush and Beck in a way by saying they are only "entertainers". I guess she missed the memo about beck getting the tea baggers all together with the cheerleading help of Fox News Channel. That was hardly entertaining unless you enjoy watching stupid people doing stupid things and saying negative things about their president and their country.
Limbaugh and Beck are ONLY entertainers? Right.
...and Rev. Jim Jones was ONLY a "community organizer".

Nicely played, Sir Ricky.
I just read over at Kos that Dana Perino was on Fox and Friends this morning and admitted that the bush white house pretty much froze out MSNBC during bush's second term. So I guess Joe did say pretty much what I understood him to say.
...that the bushitsta wouldn't let any of their people out of their cages anywhere but on Faux Spews Sewage, but that they wouldn't let them go ANYWHERE unless, one, Herr Karl Goebbels Rove had pre-scripted both the questions and answers, and two, nothing was aired until it was approved by Chicken$#it's puppet masters. Thus, it took a sharp eye to catch the illiterate cocaine-snorting drunk zoning out or reverting to his natural two-year-old tantrum statein the middle of any public appearance.
Thank Ghu the repukelicans are so technologically moronic, or they'd have outlawed camera phones as soon as they figured out what they could do.
That's not a poll. That is a first class whine. Man what a self centered bunch of babies. I guess all that cleavage and leg just isn't enough to keep the critics at bay, or the advertisers coming on board. Their answer? Blame Obama. How dare he tread on their holy ground?
The White House is still attacking FoxNews, 10 days after its original commeents. Why?
(time related)
1. Because they are slow and need more time to change their story.
2. Because socialists don't own a calendar.
3. Because communists don't own a calendar.
4. Because marxists don't own a calendar.
(personality related)
1. To give Glenn Beck another opportunity to cry on-air.
2. To give Neil Cavuto another chance to whine on-air.
3. To give Sean Hannity another chance to pontificate on-air.
4. To give Karl Rove another chance to project his demons on-air.
(reality based)
1. Because the Administration knows it will take time for many people to let in and consider the truth of a propaganda org on TV as news.
2. Because what was true 10 days ago,and is true today, will likely be true 10 days from now.
3. Because the critical threshold of frustration about a propaganda outfit masquerading as news has been met.
4. All of the above.
My reality based poll:
Why is the WH still attacking Fox News 10 days after its original comments?
a. because it can
b. because 10 days isn't nearly enough
c. because Fox
newspeoplemouthpieces are slow learnersd. it's entertaining AND true!
e. all of the above

[ ] Obama is a Socialist and is determined to destroy our way of life. There is no specific evidence for this but I know it's true because, well, I mean just look at him.

You are following the same route as the Japs when they sneak attacked Christmas.
The Japanese King, Mr. Myogi, told President Babe Ruth about it and he kept it to himself so he could have an excuse to sink the Hindenburg.
could have with Jerry Jones's scoreboard in Cowbloat Stadium.
[snicker]
"...Oh the Huge-Hannity!"
...they did call it an airship.
You're on to my secret plan to recreate the Jap attack on Christmas. And if FOX
NEWSOPINION finds out it's all over but the whining.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lN6g6hk8lTA&fe...
But he only seems to have hands for the dog.
Fox News Channel, just now on Studio B, had Judy Miller on to give her opinion regarding what should be done about Iran. I rest the case for my client, President Obama.
No, I am not an attorney, but sometimes I play one on crooks and liars comment section.
Orly Taitz!
ORLY?
I shall expand my case. The guy who comes on after Studio B, had Fred Thompson's wife on to give her opinion of politics today. Yeah, haven't we all been wondering what would Jeri have to say?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lN6g6hk8lTA&fe...
Let me guess... she says we MUST bomb,bomb,bomb Iran and then invade to secure the oil production.
I didn't listen to her reply. I guess I should have due to her wonderful track record in the past. I couldn't tell if she was still connected to Aspen roots or not.
Is Dick Cheney still writing her articles?
I didn't vote because none of the options seemed to cover what I think they're up to.
I think the White Hoouse simply wants public recognition of the real media situation. They are unmasking Fox as opinion journalism. Now Americans get to think about this and decide how they feel about it - what IS Fox doing? Is it real news?
As far as the White House telling other media outlets NOT to follow Fox's lead -- This is EXACTLY what other media outlets have been doing. And Fox is putting additional pressures on them to follow their lead - All the BS they spewed about other media outlets NOT covering the Tea Bag rallies, for instance.
Fox wants other media to follow them in knee-jerk fashion wherever they lead -- this is obvious. They want the entire media to be led around by a Fox Ring in their noses. The White House is saying -- "Don't do it - think about what you're doing - this is not news."
Absolutely no responses actually support the opposing (against Fox) views. Fair and balanced? This poll totally explains why Fox is disreputable and unethical and biased. And they can't even see that?
They don't even have the courage to put an option that might them in a bad light....what f*cking COWARDS!!!!!!!
This poll totally explains why Fox is disreputable and unethical and biased. And they can't even see that?
Oh, they can see it.
They just don't give a damn.
No wonder they're throwing a temper tantrum.
Are Fox "Newsies":
The biggest liars on the air?,
the biggest douchebags on the air?,
the biggest dipshits on the air?,
the biggest bigots on the air?,
the biggest asshats on the air?,
OR,
All of the above?
fox news ten days after the original comment. Why?
1- Once is never enough
2- Twice won't get the job done
3- Third time a charm?
4- You can never have too much of a good thing
The attorneys for Fox, owned by media baron Rupert Murdoch, successfully argued the First Amendment gives broadcasters the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on the public airwaves.
Appellate Court Rules Media Can Legally Lie.
By Mike Gaddy. Published Feb. 28, 2003
On February 14, a Florida Appeals court ruled there is absolutely nothing illegal about lying, concealing or distorting information by a major press organization. The ruling basically declares it is technically not against any law, rule, or regulation to deliberately lie or distort the news on a television broadcast. ...

What exactly do you have to click on to get to this poll? I've gone to the main Fox page, then the Opinion Tab. But its no where to be seen.
Was it taken down?
All glory to the "Hypno Toad"
Seems pretty simple to me. Every FOX viewer should have answered "I don't know" cause they DON'T know shit and will never find out on FOX.
10 Days after the Original Comment. Whine?
__ Grow the fuck up, will ya.
__ Really? Ya gotta ask?
__ Sure, whatever.
__ Fuck off!
Proves again to anybody with a brain that Faux Noise is not a news channel, just willing cocksuckers for the Reslug party.
Fox News is still attacking the White House, 272 days after Barack Obama took office. Why?
— They are poor losers.
— They are racists.
— They want Sarah Palin.
— Because they can.
— All of the above.
...FOX doods love "poles", err..... "polls".
I tried to leave a comment as suggested, but they said I had to register. The registration would not accept my zip code as a valid zip code even though it is my zip code in CT. I tried some other CT zip codes but it wouldn't take any of them. I gueass they are discriminating against anyone who lives on the East coast!
Why is Fox News so popular?
__Fox confirms what its viewers desperately need to believe.
__Fox respects rednecks and guns.
__Fox warns Americans of its real enemies--political correctness, affirmative action and illegal aliens.
__Fox affiliates itself with power and so can you.
Glenn Beck show.......and I'm just sick to my stomach, and my BP is probably elevated. (He's after Anita Dunn and Net Neutrality now.)
This guy is catty, snide, petty, confused, and can barely make as much sense as Sarah Palin. His logic is circular and childish.
I hate the fact that anyone finds him credible.

They watch Fox....so that you don't have to.
This is a sickness. the whole production has a common, every day mental disease.
I'm not an expert but it's looking more and more like text book schizophrenia to me. just interpret this push poll as a patient presenting and decide what that patient is really saying.
FOX is not opinion jounalism masquerading as news, it is schizophrenia masquerading as opinion journalism.
The President is attacking you because, as the leader of this nation, it is his job (among many other things!) to inform the American people of the events going on in the world, in the US, and in Washington. He does this through speeches, interviews, and statements to the press.
If an organization is using its media power to spread falsehood to the American people about those events, it is his job to make sure the people know that.
HTH!
Larry Klayman is the wacko who founded Judicial Watch in the 90's primarily to attack the Clinton administration, (which he did by filing a score of lawsuits against the administration.) At the time, fox couldn't get enough of Klayman. He was regularly interviewed on fox programs and the folks at fox saw to it that all of his attacks on Clinton got more than ample coverage. In 2004, when Klayman's organization -- then, Freedom Watch -- filed a lawsuit against the Bush administration, the love affair with fox promptly ended. What's more, Klayman believes that a book deal to publish his memoirs through one of Murdoch's publishing holdings went south as a direct result of this. In fact, he accuses Murdoch himself of nixing the deal. The book has now been published by another publishing house and Klayman is on the road promoting the book and sharing what he now knows is the bitter truth about fox.
It's impossible to sympathize with Klayman, he got so much from fox when he was behaving himself. But isn't this a hoot?
Here's a HuffPo article:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/14/larr...
2% voted "I don't know".
It is about time now I hope that the attacks increase this imitation nit wit noise center has got to go, between the absurd stories, half truths and lies and twisted what the call news, they have a clown wallace claims he is a journalist and asks one question.
They have pundits that they try to pass off as journalist, anybody remember that Idiot o'lliely the fafalual boy claiming a Peabody award and the Jerk isn't even a reporter DUH!
They cover nothing but sensationalism what they fabricate in a meeting isn't fact checked, they represent ONLY their point of View, if another is offered they are shouted down, they have a three to one pile on or they turn off the mic's and don't forget they eat up the time with 30-45 seconds given the opposing point of view, these Clowns ARE NOT a news net work a NOISE net work even better a Right Wing Slanted extension of the GOP, RNC.
They are Racist, Nazi, in news tactic and Socialist in corporate representation. so how do we get rid of these anal disgraces to America and the Real News Reporters
Go White House TEAR THEM UP, Three cheers for the White House.
Because the WH recognize the same thing Dick Cheney did when he insisted Faux be the only network shown on the president's and vice-president's planes? that Faux is all Republican, all the time? never fair and never balanced? and never, ever honest?
Because the WH have sufficient courage to call out smirking bullies and liars?
Because the WH recognize that even the most ridiculous lies, if repeated often enough and loudly enough and brazenly enough without being challenged, that those lies will begin to seep into the consciousness of the ill educated and ill informed as possibly true?
* * * * *
Some folks love Faux, and some don't. But, love it or loathe it, no genuinely informed person will admit in private that she or he actually believes Faux is any less a a flat-out (Republican) propaganda organ than is its equivalent in Russia: Pravda. The only difference is that Pravda admits it broadcasts propaganda, while Faux pretends to be a legitimate, respect-worthy journalism organization.
The Neocon plot for fascist military takeover of US through media consolidation, growing illiteracy, and the buying and stealing of elections is well underway.

The poll is just more proof of what a joke Fox " news " is but their viewers will be too stupid to even catch it .It's great that Obama and the White House are coming out and telling it like it is , Fox should be treated as the farce they are and given no respect at all by Obama or the administration .
These weenie-less whiners call that an "attack." Oh, no, the lies and insults they created and repeated ad nauseum about both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, AND THEIR FAMILIES, weren't "attacks." That was "speculative journalism." (BARF)
But pointing out that they're basically liars whose sole agenda is to keep from having their billions taxed at a rate any higher than a janitor's, oh, dearie me, WHAT AN AWFUL THING TO SAY!
You know what? We don't want any of Obama's aides to go one-on-five with those scum. Let's put together our own lineup from C&L, Daily Kos, Democratic Underground, etc., and dare them to air it without cuts, and in front of a live audience, even if it's just all their own cheerleaders.
I volunteer to wash what's left of their sorry asses off the set with a firehose.
