CNN's John King on Wednesday mocked Barack Obama for calling Fox News a "destructive" force in our society while at practically the same time a White House spokesman was saying MSNBC's Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow provide "an invaluable service" to the country.

JOHN KING, HOST: "Sometimes you feel sad to be left out of a big debate. This is not one of those sometimes. In an interview with "Rolling Stone," President Obama voiced the opinion that Fox News is a "destructive" force in our society. On the other hand, the left hand in this case, Obama spokesman Bill Burton said the President believes MSNBC commentators Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow provide "an invaluable service" to that same society and democracy."

Mika... isn’t she hilarious? Not a brain in her pointy little head.

Every time I happen to switch over to msnbc for a few moments at a time, when oberfuhrer or madcow are on, all they ever discuss is Fox News, Limbaugh, or Beck. I have never actually seen anything on there about NEWS. Now, granted, I'll admit that I've never stayed on msnbc for more than a few moments at a time, so maybe I miss it. But I wasn't aware that the entire channel was a media review service: I thought it was supposed to be a "news" channel. But then I can't imagine anyone actually expecting news or truth from a branch of nbc.

If Obama is bitching about Fox News, does that mean that he now has an “enemies list” just like Nixon did?

Of course! And don't you remember when the obama regime openly discussed revoking FNS's press credentials because FNS wasn't a "real" news service? Thank goodness the rest of the media realized just how dangerous that would be.

“If Obama is bitching about Fox News, does that mean that he now has an “enemies list” just like Nixon did?”

Yup. But there`s a difference. Nixon`s list consisted of a relatively few, mostly white, political opponents. The Emperor`s list consists of every white man, woman, and child on the planet and numbers in the hundreds of millions.

You’re spot on. And during the campaign this President was advertised as one who would bridge the gap — hah! Unfortunately enough fools believed that drivel and he got elected. Since then he’s gone straight to the standard he set while a senator — the most liberal.

While I doubt your rant I do hope I have made the list.

If I was as intellectually undeveloped as Obama and much of Congress I would never have gone into medicine for fear of hurting people. Obama is the typical college student ‘know it all’ who never grew beyond that but who thinks he is uniquely endowed with ‘the truth’.

Fox News and the internet are partial antidotes to AGITPROP: that’s why both are under fire. They are effective. Besides the media, we need to take back education. Conservatives need to run for Boards of Education and monitor textbooks and curricula. We need to send our kids to conservative colleges and boycott the commie schools: Harvard, Yale, Wisconsin, Berkely, Columbia, Oberlin, and so on.

The enemy has had a 60 year head start, but fortunately freedom and liberty is in our DNA. We must all join the fight. We have been busy working and raising families while the enemy has worked relentlessly to subvert everything this country stands for. Also,it’s time for conservative funders to step up and join the fight too.
