WH thinks Fox News is too bias as it labels Kennedy a "hostile enemy"

[Thorgrim]

GRETCHEN CARLSON: You talk about the hostile enemy, obviously being Iraq, but hostile enemies right here on the home front. Yesterday Senator Ted Kennedy, proposing that any kind of a troop surge should mean there should be congressional approval of that. A lot of democrats not coming to his side on this. But obviously this is not going to be an easy sell on Capitol Hill, even if it’s not an easy sell to the American Public.

BARTLETT: We don’t view Ted Kennedy as hostile enemy but we do view him to be an open and often critic of the war. He has been from the outset. I don’t think that’s anything new

Think Progress » Fox News Anchor Calls Ted Kennedy A ‘Hostile Enemy Right Here On The Home Front’

Video is there

How the hell can anyone claim Fox News is not the most partisan GOP attack machine out there when its NEWS ANCHORS label US politicians as hostile enemies to the United States of America, anyone here think CNN's news anchor like Wolf Blitzer would call Orin Hatch an enemy of the US for his being stingy on anti-terror funds prior to 9/11?

Jees, can it get anymore overwhelming

I thought it was funnier that right after the speech the topic of Hannity and Colmes (Which is really just Hannity these days) was about...


Rosie and Donald and the View!

[Thorgrim]

These days? Try everyday, Al Franken put it best when he called it Hannity and Colmes

Thank god I almost never watch more than 10 minutes a month, I think I'd break my television

[Pro Street]

I can't stand FOX, the blatent disregard and bias just became too much.

I stick with MSNBC, and while it may have a slight liberal slant they at least don't insult people who disagree, they don't attack others (well, Olberman but he does it well).

As if we needed one more incident to prove it.


I'm sure people will come in here and either say they aren't bias or FNC's bias is less than/counter to CNN's (which is bullshit).

Some people choose to be ignorant.

I heard something about this on the radio today. Seems the view's ratings are up and the apprentices's are down.

When the Bush Administration is telling Fox News it needs to tone down its rhetoric...after the way the WH it conducted itself in the 06 elections...wow

You are right, we have enough examples to write a library of books on how not to run an ethical network, but it's rare that such a conservative whose job is to make war critics look bad go "well...that's a little outlandish there Fox...I'm gonna hafta back off what your 'non-biased' news anchor just thought"

[Stylerod]

Wait. Liberals/lefties/Democrats say Fox News is biased? Why have we never had a thread about this before!!!!????

On a completely different note, Kennedy IS a hostile enemy to this country. He's already killed one woman, and if he continues to drink the way he does, who knows how many more casualties there might be!

Not to mention he's so far left-wing that he hurts us more than he helps us.

Then so is Reagan for getting hundreds of Marines killed without properly securing them and then running away like a coward hurting our image forever

Not to mention all the people he directly killed by financing terrorist groups in central america, heck maybe its Osama bin Reagan

Maybe, but right now Reagan is dead, so he's not really the issue, is he?

Quoting Al Franken to mock a biased news source I don't watch their show, but it kinda negates any argument you can have when you're backing up your claim with quotes from Al Franken and/or Michael Moore type personalities. There's bias everywhere, some you accept, some you don't.

Maybe it was a slip of the tongue, maybe it was scripted. Fox definitely isn't 50% down the middle no source is. However there's far less reported screw-ups like this from Fox than say CBS, CNN..

Slip of the tongue != entire paragraph about it

It's not a reporting screw-up, its a an extreme bias, again substantiate your claims, are you going to bring up the sniper videos again...what has CBS done that was planned incredible bias? What, Rather believing a source that backed up his statements with documents?

Considering I feel Fox News is extremely biased, does that mean all moderates feel it is?

i'm sure many liberals DON'T think Fox News is biased. Maybe they watch that horseshit and still manage to get a good view of the world.

That's cool. But have you created more then a half dozen threads like the Fox News obsessed thread starter has about them?

on another site, yes.

because at times it sickens me... when they choose to omit news stories because of what they contain.

when I turned on Fox News last night right after Bush's speech, which yes really painted Bush in a negative light, there was no talk about it. None at all.

I mean, this is the hostile enemy vid.. She's supposed to be a reporter, not a pundit and isn't labeled as one.
