Obama: Fox News is 'destructive' to America By: CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
(CNN) - President Obama is pulling no punches when it comes to Fox News, declaring the cable news outlet to be "destructive to [America's] long-term growth."
In a more than 8,000-word interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, Obama compared the cable news channel to papers owned by William Randolph Hearst at the turn of the 20th century that unabashedly pushed the media titan's own political views.
"You had folks like Hearst who used their newspapers very intentionally to promote their viewpoints. I think Fox is part of that tradition – it is part of the tradition that has a very clear, undeniable point of view," Obama told the magazine.
Officials in the Obama White House have long made Fox News a punching bag, launching a full blown offensive last year when aides declared the network to be "opinion journalism masquerading as news." Then-White House Communications Director Anita Dunn said the cable outlet "operates almost as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party," and top aide Valerie Jarret called Fox "clearly biased."

Heh, heh. Really? CNN posted this?
Obama The Commie Rat Is The Real Threat To The USA!
Obama: Fox News is 'destructive' to my agenda
There, fixed it!
The President issues a fatwa against Fox. Will the First Amendment folks speak up for Fox like they did for Salman Rushdie?
Not very many more steps until he’s hanging (beheading) anyone associated with Fox in the town square (soccer field).
This “man” has a severe case of ‘Ahmadinejad envy’...
"Huh-huh. Really? Gnarly, dude. "
We hope and pray that FNC is destructive to Obama’s plans for America.
Was it more than 8,000 words even after they edited out all the, "uhhhhh"s,?
The wheels have fallen off...
Barry: Fox is popular in all 57...58 states.
Obama is destructive to America.
Only dictators worry about opposition news outlets.
Sounds like Axelrod coming loose again. This is not the first time Obama and his people have attacked Fox and each time Fox gets more viewers. Next thing you know Obama will be complaining Republicans are pushing their own political view which is not good for America, mmmm guess he does that already. With these guys it’s my way and everyone else can go to hades.
Fox derangement syndrom has obviously infected Obama and his minions. The guy is obsessed with FOX. I have to give him a little credit though, I thought he got most of his news from ESPN Sportscenter and MSNBC.
Any President commenting so negatively on a commerical organization is without a doubt committing slander and should be held accountable for it. It is also an abuse of office and impeachable. He represents ALL Americans, not just the ones of his party.
“In a more than 8,000-word interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, Obama compared the cable news channel to papers owned by William Randolph Hearst at the turn of the 20th century that unabashedly pushed the media titan’s own political views. “
As opposed to 99% of all other media that is politically neutral right Barry?
As Slip Mahoney used to say, “Get that oval head out of my office!”
Let’s see a nationwide poll....who do you believe - Fox News or Obama... I’m guessing it’d be at least 60-40 in favor of Fox as there are still too many kool-aid drinkers out there!
It's official -- it's not just the Republicans any more. America now has TWO Stupid Parties.
