New spin on White House vs Fox News war
Why are we not surprised that no one was there from Fox News?
Boy howdy, I'd sure like to know what that was all about...only time will tell.
And I don't know if it was very wise, Mr. President. I mean, Olbermann and Maddow are known as opinion journalists...just like those prime time guys over at Fox.
Of course righties are pissin' and moanin' that the meeting was a WH strategy session about attacking Fox. They say Obama is ruthless as he tries to marginalize and crush the “powerful opponents” of his "agenda."
You know it tickles me that last week righties were complaining that Obama wasn’t "tough enough," that no one was afraid of him....and now they're hollerin' that he's a streetbrawler who will crush his opponents.
Are their knickers in a knot because a politician is playing politics... or because he is just so damned good at it?
Marginalize the same folks who brought us two god-awful wars, a wrecked economy and the scorn of the entire free world? Dang, what an absolutely ruthless mean thing to do.
One thing I do know that's probably brilliant WH strategy - Republicans are losing members, down to 20 percent in the last poll, and their approval ratings have been tanking since 1/21/09...even lower than Bush had at his lowest.
Sooo...if the Obama administration can tie Fox being an extension of the Republican party around Fox’s neck, they can also tie that unfavorable rating around Fox's neck...and discredit whatever credibility Fox still has.
Hey, it worked when they touted Rush Limbaugh as 'leader' of the Republican party...which is when their approval ratings started to tank.
