EDITORIAL: Fox hunting -- The White House targets independent media
The Washington Times ^ | October 15, 2009

Posted on 10/15/2009 7:47:43 AM PDT by kingattax

Let's face it. Fox News runs stories that the Obama administration would rather ignore - from the sleaziness and corruption in the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) to the bizarre views and actions of senior presidential appointees such as Van Jones and Kevin Jennings.

Last weekend, the Obama administration declared war. "We're going to treat [Fox News] the way we would treat an opponent," said Anita Dunn, White House communications director. She claimed, "We don't need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organizations behave." The administration has begun using a government blog to regularly attack what it calls "Fox lies."

The final Jefferson quotation in that last post should read:

"No experiment can be more interesting than that we are now trying, and which we trust will end in establishing the fact, that man may be governed by reason and truth. Our first object should therefore be, to leave open to him all the avenues to truth. The most effectual hitherto found, is the freedom of the press. It is, therefore, the first shut up by those who fear the investigation of their actions."(Underlining added for emphasis) --Thomas Jefferson to John Tyler, 1804. ME 11:33

The fascism of the obama administration and democrat Congressional control is far more than just corruption, it is the sweeping away of the old Republic to be replaced by the federal oligarchy they are installing as we watch.

Sadly, as my own new congresscritter, Phil Roe, proves, the Pubbies are clueless to the devastation they are enabling. Caught up in the walk through the forest of inside the beltway, they are blind to the trees being felled around them.

It is sad that nearly all of this investigative research is coming from Beck and no one else.

"CNN had a 22 percentage point gap and MSNBC a 59 percentage point spread in favor of Mr. Obama. The White House is so protected by soft-focus coverage that anything not tilted its way is considered an act of war."

I will certainly be watching Glenn Beck today. The White House is in reality, scared of Fox News because they keep pulling back the curtain. What you see is pure corruption and they don’t like it. Me thinks, the Emperor has no clothes. CO

Looking in from the outside is always a bit easier tho isn’t it? But I have American cousins and other relatives, so my interest is a lot more than some others. I am very disturbed at what is happening to my neighbours to the South. I can’t wait to see the hind end of this Administration going down the road. CO

Great Jefferson quotes.

Here one by Mencken that comes to mind whenever I see the Dems on TV.

“The worst government is the most moral. One composed of cynics is often very tolerant and humane. But when fanatics are on top there is no limit to oppression.” - H.L. Mencken from Minority Report, H. L. Mencken’s Notebooks, Knopf, 1956. #326.

I'll second that. The world is watching and most Canadians have American relatives and friends. We do care and we are as alarmed and concerned about this mob in the WH as anyone. These guys have much bigger plans than America. Prayers are with you America.
