Also, RAT wannabe, Juan McCain demeans talk radio hosts and,by extension, its listeners to this day.

Obama Ends Fox News ‘Boycott’
April 27, 20084:00 PM ET
Heard on All Things Considered
For two years, the Democratic presidential contender had refused invitations from the network. But now, Obama sees Fox as a way to reach socially conservative, blue-collar voters.
Barack Obama refused to appear on TV’s “Fox News Sunday” for more than two years. Now he’s trying to win over blue collar and socially conservative voters. They’re key in the two states that vote next week - North Carolina and Indiana. So today, finally, he sat down with Fox’s Chris Wallace.
NPR’s David Welna has the story.
DAVID WELNA: Obama tried to make light of the fact he was ending a de facto boycott of “Fox News Sunday.”
Senator BARACK OBAMA (Democrat, Illinois, Presidential Candidate): It takes me about 772 days to prepare for these questions, although I think this was a leap year in there. So I think it’s only 771...

Behind the War Between White House and Fox
By JIM RUTENBERGOCT. 22, 2009
WASHINGTON — Late last month, the senior White House adviser David Axelrod and Roger Ailes, chairman and chief executive of Fox News, met in an empty Palm steakhouse before it opened for the day, neutral ground secured for a secret tête-à-tête.
Mr. Ailes, who had reached out to Mr. Axelrod to address rising tensions between the network and the White House, told him that Fox’s reporters were fair, if tough, and should be considered separate from the Fox commentators who were skewering President Obama nightly, according to people briefed on the meeting. Mr. Axelrod said it was the view of the White House that Fox News had blurred the line between news and anti-Obama advocacy...
By the following weekend, officials at the White House had decided that if anything, it was time to take the relationship to an even more confrontational level. The spur: Executives at other news organizations, including The New York Times, had publicly said that their newsrooms had not been fast enough in following stories that Fox News, to the administration’s chagrin, had been heavily covering through the summer and early fall — namely, past statements and affiliations of the White House adviser Van Jones that ultimately led to his resignation and questions surrounding the community activist group Acorn.
At the same time, Fox News had continued a stream of reports rankling White House officials and liberal groups that monitor its programming for bias.
...In a sign of discomfort with the White House stance, Fox’s television news competitors refused to go along with a Treasury Department effort on Thursday to exclude Fox from a round of interviews with the executive-pay czar Kenneth R. Feinberg that was to be conducted with a “pool” camera crew shared by all the networks. That followed a pointed question at a White House briefing this week by Jake Tapper, an ABC News correspondent, about the administration’s treatment of “one of our sister organizations.”...
...Mr. Clemente suggested that the fight was part of a larger White House strategy to marginalize critics. He cited a report in Politico about a strategy session in August at which officials discussed plans to move more aggressively against opponents...

Democrat Candidates Boycott ‘Fair and Balanced’ Fox News
by
Andrew Buncombe
The Fox News Channel - a network that claims to be “fair and balanced” - has been snubbed by the leading Democratic presidential hopefuls who have refused to participate in a series of political debates it is organising.Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have made clear they will not take part in a debate, co-sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus Institute. Last week, John Edwards, another senior Democratic hopeful, said he would not take part.
I miss obaama flipping off America in various photos.
Of course they did, because they’re on a mission to destroy trump’s image and derail his presidency. The good news is that they may not be able to control the narrative. Here is a major cnn fail from yesterday. They interviewed former democrats in Ohio that voted for trump. CNN hoped they would renounce him but all were still stronger than ever on the Trump train .

He’s still doing it, the jackass. Said something about another planet recently....the guy from another country.
Acosta is an asshole whose press cred should be revoked.
At least some verity leaked through the MSM smokescreen.
