Former NYT Editor Howell Raines Accuses Fox News of Sabotaging Obamacare, Waging Jihad on Obama
Associated Content (AC) ^ | March 13, 2010 | Marc Schenker

Former NYT editor Howell Raines accuses Fox News of sabotaging Obamacare and waging Jihad on Obama's administration in a new op-ed slated to appear in the Washington Post this Sunday. Raines is the disgraced, former editor of the NYT who ran the yellow journalism rag for a very short time, from 2001 until 2003, when the laughable scandal of the affirmative-action plagiarist, Jayson Blair, forced him to resign. Ironically, Raines' accusations against Fox News make no sense because as anyone who watches Fox News will tell you, the channel boasts its fair share of liberal and Democrat commentators—Alan Colmes, Bob Beckel, Kirsten Powers, Ellis Henican, and Joe Trippi, just to name a handful—who have all been on the air there 24/7 for the past year in support of Obamacare! Like all liberals, Raines is in vain trying to gin up the dying ranks of the mainstream media by fomenting phony animosity against Fox News.

Raines' accusation is based in part on the hardcore, liberal fantasy/embedded belief that Fox News somehow is "biased" or anything other than fair and balanced, which is actually what it is as anyone who watches can tell you faithfully.

I don't believe Fox is "fair and balanced"........

Way too many blondes, not enough brunettes.

If the headline is true, then Fox News should be nominated as corporate “best citizen of the USA”.

The NYT is rotten to the core and is in hasty need of being thrown out with the other failed libtard and progressive news media outlets and sources.

OMG! I laughed with incredulity when I first heard of this. THIS—coming from the Slimes that attacked George Bush and his administration non-stop, day-in/day-out for nearly every single day of his presidency. Raines and his ilk live in such a fantasy world...I hope they choke on their own vomit!

Very interesting, Howl, that anyone from the NYTimes would talk about others’ failures.

And we can hope the anger will sweep out the RINOS.

Code Red” - House Target List on Health Care

The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.
