NPR Poll - White House vs. FoxNews

In White House Vs. Fox News War Of Words, Who Gets Your Vote?

The stories about what the Obama White House has to say about Fox News Channel keep coming.

There was White House communications director saying telling Howard Kurtz of The Washington Post and CNN "let's not pretend they're a news network the way CNN is."

Also last week it was NPR's David Folkenflik reporting that "the White House is taking direct aim at Fox News, the news organization that is the home to the most potent collection of its conservative critics."

This week it's ABC News' Jake Tapper asking why the Obama team was treating one of the "sister organizations" so badly -- and the news that the White House had tried to block a Fox News reporter from interviewing the so-called pay czar. (After all the networks objected, the White House relented.)

It seems like time for a survey:


TOPICS: Government; Miscellaneous; News/Current Events; Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: 2009polls; bhopress; fox; foxnews; npr; obama; poll; whitehouse

I'll get accused of being a thread cop but this has to be the 500th incarnation of this thread.

Is George Soros paying left wing Kooks to bash Fox? Maybe when a lefty bashs a conservative, someone puts money into their campaign funds. Someone is funding left wing re-elections. Useful idiot are being used to destroy the country.

The poll has been extensively freeped recently, as it has been the subject of many threads.

I like the idea of giving people permission to be Conservative. If most of the polls they run into show a Conservative victory, people begin to think it’s okay to hold those views themselves.

Sure they’re not scientific, but I think folks are kidding themselves if they think those polls don’t sway people.

I know I don’t like seeing us lose unscientific polls.

I find it hilarious that soros uses the ENTIRE LIBERAL COMMUNITY as his personal ‘useful idiots” while he becomes filthy rich...and really, deep in their lustful hearts all Libs want what the rich have:Obozo, Michael Moore, Barney Frank, Pelosi, Babs, etc. etc.

They all must be laughing at the “stooopid masses”!!

That’s good for a poll on their site. At least I think it is. They should be killing us over there.
