Obama – Don’t Use My Tax Dollars to Bash Fox News
Fox News coming under fire by Obama’s administration.. and even the President himself, isn’t new. The White House is certainly entitled to their opinions, and last I checked, we still have free speech in America. But did you know that the White House is using your tax dollars to operate an anti-Fox News website?
This is so wrong on so many levels; it’s hard to know where to begin.
With our economy on the verge of collapse, our health care unresolved, the $800 + Billion dollar stimulus package that hasn’t ‘stimulated’, unemployment nearing double digits, trouble in Iran, Afghanistan.. geez, the list goes on, can’t Obama and his administration find better use of their time, than to bash Fox News?
In her interview with Time Magazine, Anita Dunn (White House Communications Director) said that Obama’s administration intends to be “more aggressive rather than just sit back and defend ourselves, because they (Fox News) will say anything. They will take any small thing and distort it.”
Ms. Dunn went on to announce the President won’t be granting any Fox News interviews in the near future. Well, if Obama wants to reach the most people possible, maybe he should reconsider; by last count, during prime time, Fox News has almost 4 times as many viewers as CNN, and 3 times as many as MSNBC. Glenn Beck has about 4 times more viewers than Wolf Blitzer, and almost 5 times as many as Chris Matthews. Bill O’Reilly beats the pants off CNN’s Campbell Brown with 5 times more viewers, and 3 times more viewers as MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann.
Personally, I’d feel more secure knowing we had an open minded president, who listened objectively to criticism rather than try and squelch it. This is not high school, Mr. President. Everybody is not going to like you. But if you insist on using valuable time trying to ‘defend’ yourself against people who disagree with you.. or maybe just want questions answered, DO NOT, I repeat, do not use my tax dollars to do it.
