The White House are a bunch of Crybabie's. They have much more to worry about than what FOX NEWS is about. They have an obcession with FOX , but so does MSNBC. they are destroying themselves..

Fox was Bushs voice and now that O is in da house, Fox found it hard or non-credible to turn the ship around quickly or at all. They were lavished with Bush exclusives and state paid advertising. Now they are not invited to the party and rightly so are whining like lil babies. As a NewsCorp stock-holder, I wish that they saw this coming, but poor management prevailed and we now have a network just a step above the Alex Jones liberty network catering to kooks, gullable frightened sheeple.

I always thought that getting the big story is what reporters and news stations were suppose to do. heres some of the biggest stories fox news is breaking, where is the rows of reporters, wheres the ones who thrive on getting to it first, wheres the newspaper reporters that would go to any lengths to get the scoop.. something is mighty fishy, and i have to believe the reporters that are being silenced are upset that they can't get to report and break news like fox... president obamas reach must be baffling to most, one would wonder what has he got on the stations that are remaining quiet.. thank goodness for fox, you may have been the ones that in a round about way saved the american people from a category 5 obama storm.. it is awful that he sits up there saying "i'm just getting started" those very people that are cheering him are the very ones who are in all honesty oppose him, ,, we the american people want no part of his plan, and now with the states pulling together and letting it be known if these bills go thru, they will not get re-elected, end of story. i refuse to watch any other station, you cannot trust the cbs/nbc/cnn if we were still watching them life as we know it, would have went out with the bath water... and thank goodness for glenn beck, he not only reported , he had proof on every single story or accusation he reported. i want obama to answer our questions, why he won't we all know....... he is ignoring the american people....... BUT FOX WILL NOT BE IGNORED!!! every journalist on fox is respected, and we trust what we hear from fox....thanks, cs... ps. get well soon major!!!! we miss your reporting

BRIEF REMARK;____

FOX NEWS AGENCY is the real 'window to the world realilty' - to put a tag on it.

The day when the tv tavloids - (MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, ....etc) - the day that any of them start presenting the events and have reporters with, just HALF OF THE LATITUD WHICH IS NOW AT FOX....then that day is when the so called 'competition' will emerge from mediocrity.

As for now, them, as well as the current WHITE HOUSE AND THE REST OF THE GOVERMENT SPECTRUM, ARE IN THE SAME PREDICAMENT OF ZERO-VALUE FOR THE GOOD PEOPLE IN OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY.

There you have it in short without detalis,and is up to anyone out there to investigate and research further.

Take it or leave it.

One word. Pathetic.
How can we expect Obama to sit down and talk to Ahmanutajob or Chavez or Chiahead from N.Korea and have the balls to take them to task when he cannot even sit down with a network who has criticized him and his policies? Fox has also praised him on work he has done and the attempts he has taken to help the country. But, as been shown throughout this Admin. the WH does not know how to handle adversity; tough questions.
So to sum up. This WH and this Admin. are weak and pathetic.

2009-10-18 18:17:56 ET

Petty, Pathetic, Pandering, Preposterous, playing with the American people--A pretend President-still running for office.
Bipolar, is what I am thinking! Maybe a modern day Naricssus!
The Third World Leaders have got his number now-we are in for it. They have played him like a violin. So far Putin is the best! It will soon be Ahmanutajob turn.

As reported only on Fox, prior to his election, Obama has shown who he is. Faracon in one of his speaches said to go after the children, which Obama has. If he can brainwash the children and enlist them in his Socialist cause he has a much higher chance of success, in getting their parents to go allong with him.
They grossly underestimated how much cash for clunkers would cost the tax payers and ran out of funding after 4 days.
They grossly underestimated how much the budget would run, they missed it by 2 trillian dollars.
Why would anyone think that these amateurs could get any closer on health care reform?
Another question, why do they pass a partially written bill, then work out the details in private? This bill is about what care we get or don't get and how much we are going to have to pay for it. We pay these clowns salaries, they have no right to do anything in private with regard to the work that they do for us.
If you are a business owner and your employee's say that they are going to run your business for a month and they are not going to tell you anything about what they are doing and when it is all said and done you just have to live with it after the fact. How well would that go over. I think that those employee's would be fired so fast it would make their heads spin.
The way I see it, that is exactly what is going on here. Is Obama a dictator? Last time I checked he was not elected to that status. He works for us. If we don't want Obama care he should drop it and find out what we do want.

The Whitehouse is trying to make Fox feel bad for not adoring 0bama every moment, like the other channels do. The more the White House razzes Fox, the more Fox mentions 0bama's name. Actually every dang hour. Fox News Network falls for it every time. Instead of news, Fox reports on this bogas news piece. It works, I have to turn Fox off, because I don't want to hear the new god rant on and on and on. Either personally or through Fox.

The White House is afraid Fox will ask questions, that they do not want the voters to hear. They do not want people to see or hear their agenda, otherwise they would go on Fox.

The White House is spending so much time on this because they cannot stand to get caught. Are they not smart enough to realize that we the people know what is going in here? We know the corruption is there and we the peolple will find it.

Over and over, the WH keeps issuing such derogatory statements about Fox News in hopes that the people will believe it. Their elementary-level thinking is that if they say it, it must be true.

Obama is hiding in FEAR
2009-10-19 00:15:55 ET

All people, with any intelligence at all, understand FOX is totally Fair and Honest, and the Obama administration is totally corrupt. That is why Obama is always hiding behind closed doors, won't answer any questions, and has no transparancy what so ever. Obama is simply a corrupt, liar who trembles in fear whenever he even thinks of the many ways his corruption can be exposed.

I have a 7 year old and 4 year grand-goblin that act better than this administration...

What a bunch of whiny babies! If you cannot take the heat, get out of the white house. ...

Out of all the news stations... one doesn't agree with white house and congress policies and (dares) to ask for real questions... and "It's not a real news station." ... Someone needs a reality check... and it's not FOX.

I did not vote because there should have been another choice of how ridiculous the White House is. Like Chris Wallace said, they are the biggest bunch of cry babies he's ever seen.

Millions of us were forced to watch CNN for years because there was no alternative. CNN was not REAL NEWS. It was slanted left and by the attitude of the news anchors we were told which things were good things and which things were bad things.

Of course they don't think Fox News is legitimate. Fox News won't kiss Obama's you-know-what. Well....except for Geraldo.

Someone should call the White House and tell them to watch Geraldo's show if they want fawning over Obama.

IF Obama can run the media, he will. Americans better stay AWAKE!

Just goes to show how parinoid and egotistical obama is. He thinks he is the Messiah, every living soul should adore him. I wonder if he spends most of his time worried about those of us who watch Fox News. Too bad obama, you can't have everything. Obama and clan need to get busy and make those decisions, like more troops to help the soldiers in Afghanastan. We have a"little boy President", folks.

By the way, I'd like to see Fox Hosts stop asking why obama won't come on Fox News. Your beginning to whine just like obama. He won't come on because he won't answer the questions. It's that simple.He can't be without his telepromptor. He might stick his foot in his mouth, ya think?

Obama and his friends in the WH are just a bunch of "CRY BABIES" Every time someone says something they don't like or disagrees with them, all they do is WHINE! O did the same thing when he was still running for Pres! And that's the man so many people voted for to have for the Presw of the US? A BIG BABY?!?!?!

It is sad idiots voted Obama in unless of course it was all rigged. Obama is dangerous and he needs to be stopped by our representatives. Representatives? Oh, we don't have any.

His only objective is HIS Health Care. It is a tatic as well by letting the war and all else go to focus only on HC. He hopes we will finally throw up our hands and yell okay, okay. Pass it Lets stop having our troops killed.

Our representatives are just a bunch of paid for 'yes' men. They remind me of a bunch of wind up dolls in the middle of the floor bumping into each other.

FOX stop crying little babies! This is a free market, if you want to continue to make money, be nice to those who actually have money left to feed you...like you did the previous 8 years. Estudipos. History will show that the largest advertiser on the Faux network was Uncle Sam prev 8 years. If you play your cards right, big daddy O will show some love too. You have to LOVE your boss, no matter who it is. This is business, idiots!

I do not blame the WH for taking this stand. I think it was predictable. If Hannity could be worse, what would he need to say or do? He acts like a ego-maniacal ass on national TV as HIS regular format. I won't watch his horsesh-t any more because of it. Who does that ass think he is?? Glad I don't have to listen to listen to him, nevermind answering any of his "questions". There IS no journalist available who is of the caliber of Walter Cronkite. Can anyone imagne Cronkite speaking or doing his show the way Greta and Hanity run theirs? NOT!

The White House isn't really petty; it's carrying out an agenda. What's more, I think somebody's been following procedures from the Nazi Socialist playbook. After the print and broadcast media have been successfully controlled, watch for internet shutdowns and book burnings. This is what happens when the lunatic fringe succeeds.
Here's a heads up: The EPA will edge in on energy usage to the point that all communications can be controlled. Am I paranoid? Reassure me, someone.

Dear Greta

As a "Political Junkie" i will say that WH is doing horrible. I remember "The reverse Psychology." During '60 and'70 so many Americans liked own kind of people. Many,many,many, many Americans "fought back." WH got super nervous, Nixon stoped Vietnam war, Johnson signed Civil rite act, Clinton got Hillary and socil medicin out, and created "Don't ask, don't tell policy. Republican Party lost big time because Bush's Iraki war. I can go on and on. WH doing a horrible thing by picking on FOX. They are chalenging "regular American." When regular American get POed, they do "unusual thing." Americans started "Civil war" because they were POed at '"Practicing Slavery." It was not fight between 'Black and White " it was fight for "EQALITY." The concept is beyond "Right and Left."

Hmm, I find it interesting as President Obama's number fall the ratings of Fox News goes up. What is interesting is that the presidential advisors are so smug and narcissitic to believe this isn't happening. As the Good Book says, Pride Goeth Before the Fall.

Ah, truth is, they are just following their beliefs. You see during the Campaign they pretty much controlled message Obama wanted out there, and the woman O'bama has just put in charge of watching Glen Beck admitted they had done so, and in my opinion they are trying to do the same now. However..in this case they intend to punish FOX NEWS. Fellow Voters,..You do understand NIXON did this to Other,..NEWS ORGANIZATIONS who disagreed with him, and Yes, BACK,..In Nixon's Day, almost every-one of what is today known as the MSM actually INVESTIGATED, and REPORTED ACTUAL NEWS STORYS....Yes, NIXON too refused to cooperate with certain News Organizations that he felt had hurt him by SIMPLY reporting the truth about him and members of his administration. FACTS OF HISTORY WITH MY HAND UP! Now under Obama we see the return of the NIXON STYLE,.. HIT LIST and I guess you could say FOX NEWS TOPS the OBUMMER LIST. Since FOX OPINION SHOWS DO,.. not applaud everything Obummer does, instead they do research and then REPORT the ACTUAL FACTS, as the MSM used to do,..I Guess Obummer and Friends can't handle that MUCH truth being exposed, especially the FACTS on those Obama has gathered around him. Tough T I T T Y! The White House and friends are MAD at the FOX OPINION SHOWS MASSIVE RATINGS and THOSE RATINGS DO MEAN SUCCESS. SO,..AGAIN,..I say Tough T i t t y, their childish attacks prove they are indeed trying to CONTROL SPEECH, they want to control WHAT IS ON OPINION SHOWS, and in NEWS REPORTS, or the CONTENT THERE-OF,.. They want REPORTED ONLY WHAT THEY DEEM TO BE ACCEPTABLE to be released to citizens, NIXON DID THE SAME, and if you are a NEWS ORGANIZATION and refuse to "Go Along" then you won't "Get Along with them. I believe they REALLY,..HATE OPINION SHOWS, UNLESS those OPINIONS SHOWS AGREE WITH THEIR OWN VIEWS, and ya must admit, MOST MSM SHOWS DO AGREE WITH OBAMA POLICYS. However if those OPINIONS appear to DIS-AGREE with ANY VIEWS in OBAMALAND,..IF THEY RESEARCH and THEN REPORT THE FINDINGS, about the PEOPLE OBAMA HAS GATHERED AROUND HIM,..as he himself told us to do,..then,...the WHITE HOUSE RETALIATES. Truth is if you disagree,....You Best Look Out!...THESE ARE THE FACTS, as I see them, my opinion! The White House is Doing,...exactly as NIXON DID,.. they are HOPING to PRESSURE FOX, IN ORDER,...to get the RESULT they desire, after all it has worked for all the other MSN, I mean,..you must admit pretty much,..all of them,... agree,..well,.. 98.9% with the White Houses and Obummer Policy's. The WHITE HOUSE MUST REALLY BE THIN SKINNED and ULTRA-SENSITIVE to any differing opinion FOX might present. I mean to attack so openly that way, to attack a NEWS ORGANIZATION in that way,..the OBUMMER-LAND is being kind of silly if you ask me, I guess if you are a REPORTER the message is: DO NOT DISAGREE WITH OBUMMER or they will Attack and ISOLATE YOU. SMEAR YOUR NEWS ORGANIZATION< ETC! I suppose in their view, THEIR VIEWS are ALWAYS CORRECT. Looks as if that is how they feel, doesn't it? And Voters,..The above,... is ABSOLUTE REALITY in todays Obummer-Land. A SHADOW has been laid over any opinion the White House deems to be harmful to their Agenda. These ARE the facts! All those who voted for Obama, especially those Seniors now having Buyers Remorse, you voted for his agenda, so try to lay-down quietly as he wants you too, and try not to make waves over him cutting Medicare in half, after all he wants you to live awhile yet,..you must, to pay liberals mass of new taxes, help finance Cap & Trade, and those added insurance costs. Congrats,...You helped to vote in his great new Regime, now you must live under it!!!

Give yourself a test. Listen to a show. As soon as there is an opinionated statement say BZZZ. If you honestly say Bzzzz once, the White house is correct. I listen I know. It is usually right up front. Like Acorn is a bad bad organization. Opinion. Obama is a racist. Opinion. He has more czars (which is their word to begin with) than Bush. Opinion and wrong at that. And on and on. Just do it and then answer the poll. When you get Dear Sarah on the show and say the press has tried to ruin her. Opinion. Just let the fact that she states (?) speak for themselves and the things she does. She ruins herself. Fox is ran by opinions. That would be fine if it were true. But it just shows they are very poor losers. That is all.

2009-10-19 19:45:05 ET

When you say Obama's numbers are falling that itself is an opinion. They are not. From what to what. It has been in the high 50's for a while which is great. If that poll is done by Fox News it is more like 60's or 70's (my opinion.) What Fox does is tell you guys stuff so you will repeat and then it will become true. That is why you guys repeat some of the things you do. That is despicable and unAmerican actually. Why not just come up with some good ideas and run for office and win. And in the meantime show us some of those values you claim to have. The Democrats are even winning that test. They are now the party with values. What happened besides Fox's rhetoric and Limbaughs lead. It doesn't reflect well on the party.

2009-10-19 19:51:00 ET

After reading some more comments you don't have to listen to the show. REad the comments. That is all the proof you need. President Obama is an American citizen as confirmed by his birth certificate and by the Hawaii public officials and newspaper articles at the time of birth. He was duly elected and he is doing a fine job coping with the garbage Bush left him to cope with including a 1.3 trillion dollar deficit. I say go Obama. Luckily he has put up with this opposition all his life having to deal with idiots like we have in society so he just lets if roll off his back. Many do not understand the absolute mess we could be in right this minute if more in America had chosen McCain/Palin. Maybe then you guys would have really had something to be concerned about. Now many think the situation wasn't too bad to begin with. I simply love that line of thinking. Not.

ktlin CORRECTIONS
2009-10-19 20:09:17 ET

Oh, but Ktlin, you made a couple of errors in you statement.

President Obama SAYS HE is an American citizen BUT WILL NOT confirmed it with his birth certificate only with an article in the newspaper that could have been placed there at the time knowing citizenship would be given and FREE welfare aid also, with no thought of future elections, only welfare.

He was NOT duly elected and he is doing a horrible job dealing with the almost perfect system Bush left him to handle things.

In comparison to the 1.3 trillion dollar deficit BUSH HAD TO SPEND to save America from Obama's Socialist, and terrorist friends. I say impeach Obama.

Luckily he has put up with this opposition all his life having to deal with LIBERAL and PROGRESSIVE idiots and TRAITORS like we have in society so he just JOINED THEM and rolled over on his back.

Many do not understand the absolute mess we could be in right this minute if more in America had chosen McCain/Palin, SIMPLY BEVAUSE they would have already had the economy back to normal by now, because they are not corrupt like Obama.

Maybe now you guys will want to impeach the worthless, gutless, corrupt, liar named Obama/Osama

Many think the situation wasn't too bad to begin with. because it wasn't

To call them "petty" is like calling the Pacific Ocean a small lake. Even some lib commentators, like Gergin and the New York Times, are calling it a poor fight to pick and "like taking a knife to a gunfight". B O needs to take about 5 minutes to memorize the new title he worked so hard to earn, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, and then set down with somebody who knows, what a decription of the job is. He is the only elected official who represents EVERY CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES, not just the lib, dems, not the peace nicks, not Chicago, not any race or religion, not any news organization, not the Unions, not the non-unions, ALL CITIZENS. After he learns the job description, quit campaining, roll up your sleeves, and get to work.

FoX NeWs is an ENTERTAINMENT CHANNEL, that's why, their "rodeo clowns" and "opinionated guys" have more air time than any other "pundit". Can you name a FoX journalist that actually leaves the studio and reports field activity, then come back to the studio to report their FACTUAL findings? There are news reportings, ie someone was killed in the war or tea party demonstrations, but daily memos insist on swaying and promoting propaganda to perpetuate the agenda of the GOP, grand old pussies.

FOX is the only real news network that actually asks new worthy questions of the corrupt, liar Obama The rest of them, CNN, NBC, MSNBC & CBS are just propaganda rags that pitch for the Obama Malfunctioning Mis-Administration.

ABC has Jake Tapper, who has some nads and will occiasionally ask some tough questions, but Obama is to cowardly to answer them anyway.
It goes to prove, Obama is nothing but a stinky old used Douche Bag.

Havn't seen anything like this since I was about 7 years of age fighting with the little neighbor girl over dumb stuff.

If this is how they handle opposition how in the hell can they handle my health care and than Afghanistan............... OH... I forgot their NOT handling Afghanistan.

Our poor men and women dying because obama is too much of a dummy to listen to his General.

I heard Cheney got on the current administrations butt good.

The Obama gang like to blame Bush for everything. Probably their hemmoroids too.

Yet, CHeney said they had a plan for Afghanistan that Obama adapted stating that they didn't want anything getting out about it. NOW THEY LIE!

Of course, whats new about that.

You go ahead and keep your head in the sand. Thats why people like you voted for obama and now it is hell on earth.

Try reading Obama's first book.

I suppose you listen to Chris Mathews on MSNBC! I remember he was so humping obama's leg.

I just get so frustrated by people like you who wouldn't admit the truth if Jesus told it to you.
