Is anyone watching the warfare between Barak's Chicago-style Political Machine and Fox News?

NPR (as neutral as I can imagine) has a poll running on this

http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2009/10/in_white_house_vs_fox_news_war.html

The blatant and naked use of the power of the White House Press Office in the news environment is possibly the most terrifying aspect of the Obama regime that I've seen yet. Attempting to exclude news reporting that doesn't agree with your message is as un-American as I can imagine. Fortunately, at least some of the mainstream "News" media is asking some hard questions.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

I've been following all of the current Administration's antics including the recent Fox News fiasco.  It's sad to say the least.  What's more sad is that the Administration's abuse of power and Constitutional violations likely will not stop until a lawsuit is brought before the Supreme Court as was done during FDR's administration.

It's nice to see that 3/4 of the respondents to the survey see this for what it is!

I'm certainly heading to the polls on Tuesday where it looks like we'll be putting a Republican back in the Governors Mansion after 8 years of Democratic rule!

Wow, I'm very surprised that the poll is showing so many people are favoring Fox, that's as it should be! I'm also surprised that NPR is getting in on this, because from what I've experienced, they seem to lean left more often than not.

And...have I seen this war? Well, I can't say I have...but I've heard about it. You know when they finally pulled the plug on analog TV? Yeah, I haven't seen more than 10 minutes of total broadcast since that day...I did not buy a dumb converter box, nor did I buy a new TV, and you know what? It's been nice.

Fox News is all we watch. Can't get the truth from any of the other Obama Media Centers.

It sounds like I'm in good company.  I rarely watch television except to get my daily news fix and the only channel I watch is Fox News.  I also rely heavily on talk radio to bring light to an otherwise biased and closed media.  (I guess that makes me a mean-spirited, hateful, right-wing, domestic terrorist according to the Department of Homeland Security.)

I think the reason you're seeing other media getting involved, such as CBS' scathing report on the bogus employment numbers released yesterday, is maybe, just maybe, they are beginning to see the writing on the wall.  As I have stated before, we need to right the ship before it sinks.  The captain has demonstrated each day in Office that he is incapable of safely steering the ship.  Worse yet, I suspect his actions are all part of a larger agenda...there I go with conspiracy theories again.  Darn!

An agenda we don't need!!! The cool-aid drinkers need to wake up.
