A Volley Between Fox News and Obama Administration – NYTimes.com

“As they are undertaking a war against Barack Obama and the White House, we don’t need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organizations behave.”

– Anita Dunn, White House Communications Director, discussing FAUXNews

Finally, the White House realizes who is airing the poisonous treason against them and will, hopefully, keep calling them out on it.

O’Reilly: Why Obama’s Nobel Prize, Deserved or Not, Is Good for America | The FOX Nation

You aren’t gonna catch me linking to these cretins often, but Bill O’Reilly takes off his asshat hat for a moment and remembers he’s an American, and the wingnuts he relies on for a paycheck sell him out as a traitor.

I honestly feel bad for him in a “now you know how far thirty pieces of silver will go” kind of way. The answer is “not damned far” but he should have known better than to throw in with irrational traitors.

He was respectful to the President and they’re planning to hang the guy, hopefully in effigy.

It has been awhile since I heard a glowing review of Rachel Maddow so this was nice to read.

Granted, I think she’s gone over the edge a bit in damning the President of late, but it’s her show and she does have a vested interest in at least advancing gay rights.

I still say he’s out to do good for the majority of Americans first so he can then be allowed to do more good for smaller but still significant groups of people as his presidency progresses, but I guess I’m the only one who believes that or something.

She often brings on conservatives for the same kind of in-depth interviews, and even when she strongly disagrees, she always gives them a chance to air their views (and generally hang themselves with those views). Her show is the exact opposite of Bill O’Reilly’s show. Where he cuts people off for saying things he doesn’t like, Maddow digs in deeper.
