Grow a thicker skin. You are one of the biggest media corporations, for crying out loud. You don't get it 1/10th as bad as do liberal media outlets from the right wing talking heads.


President Obama Attacks FOX News
Posted: 06/17/09Filed Under:Republicans, Barack Obama, Media, Obama Administration 3215 Comments + Interviewed on CNBC Tuesday, President Obama vented his displeasure with FOX News, the cable network whose own senior vice president of programming has called it "the voice of the opposition" to the Obama administration. Here's Obama:


"First of all, I've got one television station entirely devoted to attacking my administration."


Clearly referring to FOX, the president continued:


"Well, that's a pretty big megaphone," he said. "And you'd be hard-pressed, if you watched the entire day, to find a positive story about me on that front.

"We welcome people who are asking us some, you know, tough questions," he continued. "And I think that I've been probably as accessible as any president in the first six months -- press conferences, taking questions from reporters, being held accountable, being transparent about what it is that we're trying to do. I think that, actually, the reason that people have been generally positive about what we've tried to do is they feel as if I'm available and willing to answer questions, and we haven't been trying to hide them all."


What do you think? Is Obama "attacking" the FOX News here?

The President might not deserve your approval but he deserves your respect. Ernie should be here any minute to remind you about profanity. Good day sir - I said good day.

The Fox commentators don't seem to be complaining at all. They seem to be laughing at the irony that Obama is the one who is complaining that there is one media outlet who does not drink his koolaide.

Cable News Ratings: Fox News Channel Still On Top

By Marisa Guthrie -- Broadcasting & Cable, 6/2/2009 3:24:19 PM MT

FNC had nine of the top-ten programs in cable news among total viewers, posting a 30% increase in primetime in the 25-54 demographic compared to May 2008, according to Nielsen Media Research. MSNBC was down 9% and CNN was down 37%. HLN was up 40% to come within 2,000 viewers of CNN in the demo. MSNBC averaged 250,000 viewers in the demo in primetime to finish in second place behind CNN (194,000 viewers) and HLN (192,000 viewers). But FNC’s primetime demo tune-in beat MSNBC and CNN’s combined, averaging 463,000 demo viewers.

FNC’s signature programs posted double-digit ratings gains in total viewers and the demo.

Glenn Beck posted a 130% gain in the time period among demo viewers compared to the same period last year. The O’Reilly Factor and Hannity both posted 31% gains and On the Record with Greta Van Susteren was up 45%.
:rofl: :cheers: :thumbsup:

Well...I guess I can now fully understand why what happens here happens.


Did any of you happen to notice the title of the article from which both Ernie and I quoted to start these ridiculously retarded threads.




Go back and look, losers....I'll wait.
