During an interview with President Obama that aired on CNBC yesterday, chief Washington correspondent John Harwood said, “When you and I spoke in January, you said — I observed that you hadn’t gotten much bad press. You said it’s coming.” Harwood added that since then, Obama still hasn’t received much critical press and wondered if his administration isn’t being “sufficiently held accountable.” Obama, however, disagreed:
OBAMA: It’s very hard for me to swallow that one. First of all, I’ve got one television station that is entirely devoted to attacking my administration. I mean, you know, that’s a pretty…
HARWOOD: I assume you’re talking about Fox.
OBAMA: Well, that’s a pretty big megaphone. And you’d be hard pressed if you watched the entire day to find a positive story about me on that front.
Watch it:
Seeming to undermine the premise of his question, Harwood said after the interview that Obama has “gotten slapped around pretty good on our network for a while” too.
OBAMA: It’s very hard for me to swallow that one. First of all, I’ve got one television station that is entirely devoted to attacking my administration. I mean, you know, that’s a pretty…
HARWOOD: I assume you’re talking about Fox.
OBAMA: Well, that’s a pretty big megaphone. And you’d be hard pressed if you watched the entire day to find a positive story about me on that front.
Talk about stating the obvious……….
June 17th, 2009 at 9:52 amHARWOOD: I assume you’re talking about Fox.
No, you dumbass, stupid, ass-wiping shitheel, I am talking about WFUK, in East Jesus, PA. Drives me crazy.
June 17th, 2009 at 9:57 amMore useless slop from “correspondents” too ignorant or cowed to recognize the absurdity of their own fookin statements.
June 17th, 2009 at 9:58 amGee, what a surprise – one channel is a mouth piece for the bigots and wignuts and the other is a platform for greedy, money-grabbing, free-market apologists. More money, more greed, more hate would be a more apt motto. Fair and Balanced my ass.
June 17th, 2009 at 9:59 amI’d pay good money to see Obama swat Bill-O and Hannity like the recently deceased fly…
June 17th, 2009 at 10:01 amHARWOOD: I assume you’re talking about Fox.
That is pronounced “Faux”.
June 17th, 2009 at 10:02 amHarwood added that since then, Obama still hasn’t received much critical press and wondered if his administration isn’t being “sufficiently held accountable.”
That was a bullshyte question! Harwood feigning like he doesn’t know how much Fox slams Obama is ridiculous. Obama is getting criticism daily from Fox and almost everyone else.
It’s like Obama is not doing enough. Obama’s doing too much. Obama’s not moving fast enough. Obama uses a teleprompter. Obama this and Obama that! Good GD Grief!
June 17th, 2009 at 10:03 amCongratulations for twisting yourself up in knots Harwood, you blithering sycophantic moron.
June 17th, 2009 at 10:03 amThere was a study done that showed that the positive things that were said about the President, by “news” station. CBS, NBC, and ABC were in the upper fifties to lower sixties respectively, but FOX was somewhere around 13%. That means they are saying 87% negative things about him – and that he’s absolutely right about this.
June 17th, 2009 at 10:04 amThis will keep the bloviators going for awhile. There’s nothing like some push-back from their target to get them excited.
June 17th, 2009 at 10:06 amIt can’t be Fox NEWS…THEY ADVERTISE TO BE “FAIR AND BALANCED”. Sarcasm is intended!
June 17th, 2009 at 10:09 amSpeaking of our corrupt media, I wish the press had covered the 2000 stolen election in the U.S. and the subsequent Iraq “War” as well and as objectively as they have been covering the Iranian election and protests now… More Americans might have been educted on what was going on in our own stolen government if they had.
June 17th, 2009 at 10:10 amThis will give FAUX something to concentrate on instead of their whoremongering hypocrited senator who was outed sleeping with his best friend’s wife while the senator is trying to pass family and marriage restraints on others. Yes, FAUX wouldn’t want to talk about that one any more than they want to talk about the christian taliban terrorists on the right wing.
June 17th, 2009 at 10:10 amCue Fox News to do a token “nice” story about President Obama — which they will then use (in endless clips) to show how “fair and balanced” they are.
June 17th, 2009 at 10:11 amUm…does Harwood ever actually watch the news? Anybody who thinks President Obama hasn’t gotten much critical press hasn’t been paying attention.
June 17th, 2009 at 10:14 amPlease. Even the liberal websites are nailing him to the cross on DADT and the secrecy issues. (Which is a good thing.) I concur : dumb@$$ question.
June 17th, 2009 at 10:15 amWell, coming from an entity that has as it’s core leader, OxyBreath, who wishes that PRESIDENT Obama and the country fail, does it really come as a surprise, Mr. Harwood?
June 17th, 2009 at 10:16 amAside from Fox giving George Bush 100% favorable coverage for 8+ years (they were cheerleaders of his campaign as well), I wonder what the coverage of CBS, NBC and ABC was of Bush?
#9 Unbelievable reports that around 60% of coverage on network TV is favored to Obama — but I seriously suspect that favorable coverage of Bush in his first term approached the 80% mark.
Between the networks and Fox, that would average out to pretty high percentages of favorability in reporting the news for GWB — the media shares a great deal of blame for the condition we find ourselves in today.

If USers had risen to protest the installation of the Chimp, either by the Brooks-Brothers riot in Miami, or by the phucking Supremes, and taken to the streets in our MILLIONS, we might have gotten some coverage, while the police were mugging us for our temerity.
June 17th, 2009 at 10:25 amMaureen Dowd had a column in today’s NYTimes, taking Obama to task because he occasionally goes into “greasy spoons” and has a French fry! So even his eating choices are fair game.
June 17th, 2009 at 10:26 amI say, let Obama bring back the Fairness Doctrine. It might put a lid on Faux News and Limbaugh. And give him a break. He can occasionally dine at Five Guys.
Obama: ‘I’ve got one television station that is entirely devoted to attacking my administration.’
While I realize he is speaking of Fuax News, he may as well drop MSNBC in there. Especially the Morning Joe show and Mika.

June 17th, 2009 at 10:35 amGiving Harwood the benefit of the doubt, perhaps he was wise enough to recognize that (1) Fox isn’t really a news network and (2) that CNBC’s ratings are pathetic this setting up the existential question “if a cable show slams the president and the only people watching are greedy traders does it really matter?”

____________________________________________________________
In the first place, Fox News isn’t a “station”, no matter what the President called it. But since both you and President Obama want to call it a “station”, I assume that the “120 other stations” you mention are actually 120 other networks with a reach comparable to that of Fox News.
Would you care to provide both A) a list of these 120 “stations”, and B) some credible evidence that they’re “kissing his ass 24 hours a day”?
And as far as ABC setting up shop two doors down from the White House — that doesn’t translate to butt-kissing of any kind. It does translate to ABC’s desire to provide White House coverage, which can be either positive or negative.
Oh, and it’s “whining”, not “whinning” — and President Obama was doing neither. He was merely rebutting an incorrect point his interviewer brought up.

Hint: The day that George W. Bush walked into the White House is the same day that Israel began its eight year campaign of terror against Palestinians. The day that George W. Bush left the White House is the very same day that Israel stopped its massacre of civilians in Gaza.

Then perhaps you can explain why Fox reported 100% positive on ex President Bush. And it isn’t just a matter of criticizing President Obama, they lie about him on a daily basis. Progressives criticize President Obama when it is justified, unlike you Borg Republics who never once criticized Bush even though he was in the process of destroying this country.

June 17th, 2009 at 11:51 am“Whoever has the best facts on the table wins with the audience,” says Michael Clemente, senior vice president for editorial at Fox.
Fox is the second highest-rated cable network in prime time after USA Channel and the highest rated cable news network overall, beating all of its rivals combined. Not unsurprisingly, Fox’s news executives see the ratings as confirmation of the credibility and believability of its news team, as fronted by Smith.

Oh, I see, you mean like this?:
Skeptics counter that there is much evidence to refute Mr. Snow and that Fox, a favorite of conservatives, has long had a unique status in the Bush White House.
When Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot a hunting companion and set off an uproar in February, he gave one television interview, to Brit Hume of Fox. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has given very few television interviews lately, but he gave one last week, to Bill O’Reilly of Fox. (This week he is to talk to Larry King on CNN.)
Televisions in the West Wing are regularly tuned to Fox. Televisions on Mr. Cheney’s plane and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s plane are tuned to Fox. Televisions in Mr. Cheney’s hotel rooms must be tuned to Fox before his arrival. Until last month, the television in the press cabin of Air Force One was tuned to Fox.

I thought Obama was supposed to end the war? Isn’t that why you voted for him? What happened there?
Doesn’t matter.

June 17th, 2009 at 12:45 pmIsn’t it sad when a poor, attention-starved creature pushes folks away with its desperation, and then is reduced to repeating the behaviors that led everyone to shun it in the first place?
Just pathetic.
June 17th, 2009 at 12:47 pmDo I see some idiot trying to make us believe that Fox News Channel’s ratings reflect the quality of its news coverage? Does that moron not know that the reason Fox News Channel has more viewers is because it’s free to cable providers, so customers like us do not have to pay extra for it (like we do for CNN or MSNBC, in many places in the country)? Is this fool so ignorant that he believes making the “Fox News has more viewers” argument will persuade knowledgeable people with IQs in the three-digit range?
How wrong can one person be?

You are all correct, no negative coverage of the “Messiah Barack” can or should be tolerated.
Since we are fighting two wars, you MUST support Obama. STFU and stand in line, treasonous twat!

Like handing you your ass? LOL!
June 17th, 2009 at 12:50 pmThe trolls are so stupid that they confuse the ratings for “American Idol” House” etc. in primetime as legitimacy for Fox News. Here’s a flash, 20th Century Fox was around a long time before Faux News. Yes they know how to do entertainment. It’s news they have a problem with. Only those too stupid to know lies when they hear them would listen to that drivel.
June 17th, 2009 at 12:51 pm… and Prod demonstrates the dysfunctional analytical process so typical of the right-wing mind…
Sadly, it’s that flawed analytical ability that has led the G-NO-P right into the wilderness in which it now finds itself. Let’s hope it can read a GPS as well as it can analyze foreign policy or the economy.
June 17th, 2009 at 12:52 pmFox News Channel has more viewers is because it’s free to cable providers
Is that why I have to pay extra for it?
June 17th, 2009 at 12:53 pmWow this is amusing. Here I thought my break before grad school would be boring! AP is loosing it!
June 17th, 2009 at 12:53 pmBesides Wayne the actual amount of viewers for any program are not that easy to access and many times you have to go by what the PR department of any corporation tells you. Unless you are a media buyer for an ad agency that pays for those subscriptions you can’t get proof of anything.
June 17th, 2009 at 12:54 pmStupid bible thumping trolls don’t think everybody believes in the concept of a “messiah”. It ought to be illegal to own a computer when you’re that stupid.
June 17th, 2009 at 12:55 pmOMG, the trolls are so stupid they would pay extra for Faux News. Everybody knows it’s available with basic cable everywhere but dumba$$ pays extra. He probably has a pay toilet in his double wide.
June 17th, 2009 at 12:58 pmProd’s not doing too well, either, if you’ve noticed…
June 17th, 2009 at 1:00 pmArn Gunnutes, I believe what got Bush and Cheney so despised by the American public was that they only watched the sycophants at Fox lying to them and ignored the feelings of the thinking people of the country.
June 17th, 2009 at 1:02 pmOh there’s always some stupid troll hanging around if you need something to laugh at. :=)

No, that’s because you’re a chump.

June 17th, 2009 at 4:33 pmSeriously. Is there not a way to curb Fox’s daily delivery of snide remarks and anti-Obama rhetoric? I have stopped watching, but that’s just one person. I understand freedom of speech, but they are scaring people.
June 17th, 2009 at 4:47 pmAnd Think Progress has one station that it attacks.
June 17th, 2009 at 4:56 pmHey dstankass…what happened to B.O.’s thread…about him not allowing the press to see the WH visitors log? I asked you great input you have on the fact that Body Odor has been lying to all of you. He like about transparencies…about putting bills on line prior to passing…about DADT and many other promises.
Sucks when you can’t trust your pussy leader who speaks like a scared idiot around the rest of the world. He has the ovaries (because they sure are not balls)….to complain about Fox not kissing his azz…like the rest of the Medias! Crybaby

What scares me is the way the other 4…CNN, CBS,ABC & NBC…totally give the B.O….slobby knobbers all the time….and don’t ask the tough questions!
What about ABC’s day long infomercial next week about healthcare…from the WH. Talk about propaganda TV.
June 17th, 2009 at 5:29 pmGolly good show guys! I read a few of the responses and almost bump my head laughing so hard. This thread is good popcorn reading material. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Why do repugs believe we believe they are slick, clever, serious? Why do these tenacious teabagging idiots insist on insulting our President of the United States?
harwood, you’d confused wit with being a dimwit. Don’t act as if you asked President Obama the Pulitzer Prize question.
Who could miss the around the clock advertisement/promoting for their racist teabagger party? Another bad idea from the club of starched sheets and no ideas (or proven failed ideas.)
repugs are milking the hell out of their “wonderful” teabags, aren’t they?

Freedom of speech has nothing to do with telling lies.

June 17th, 2009 at 10:47 pmFox was going after Bush about his stimulus package. There is the one you have been asking for. and they had more than one night on it
This is pretty dumb…. No matter what point of view any station has (and we all know both sides of the spectrum are well represented on our dial)they have the right to voice their opinion. MSNBC has just about crawled in bed with Obama… but they have the right to do it… you can twist news, and show links, conspiracy theories, etc… just don’t LIE when you report the news. Fox does not LIE, and neither does CNN… I don’t really watch MSNBC, but when I have, the bias seems to be on commentary. They have the right to do it. All of them do. Obama is saying Fox is aiming at him? Well, Bush had every station aiming at him… you may think it is OK that they were aiming at that administration and not this one, because you agreed with what was being said, but I don’t see any of these networks really standing up and asking obama the hard questions. He seems to get a pass all the time, and he won’t even come on Fox. Anyway, I think all stations have a right to air what opinions, editorials, etc… Our media is our watchdog. They should all be doing the same job now they were doing during the last administration.
June 17th, 2009 at 11:10 pmFox follows the three C’s: Corporations, Conservatism, and Caucasians.
