FOX news seems to be the only major news channel digging into the facts on Obama...why is this?

Question

Lately it's been the Obama-Ayers relationship, and now I just saw something about him and some radical black communist mentioned in his book "dreams of my father". How come FOX news seems to be the only news channel even slightly trying to investigate Obama? The guy is running for president you know, so how come you never hear about the facts anywhere else. For god sakes Obama makes MSNBC want to cream in their pants and CNN (other than Glenn Beck and Lou Dobbs) is right behind them. Has any other newchannel ever investigated Obama?

Answer 1

Fox news always reminded me of that old Soviet style newspaper called Pravda (The truth) during the cold war years. It, too, had a doctrine which was merely a mouthpiece for the Russian poitburo the same as Fox News has for the Bush administration. They're bascially just an updated version of yellow journalism, and not worth watching because of their bias slant and fabricated stories they run just to increase their ratings. All the other networks have their opinions and viewpoints, but at least they don't border on sensationalism as their primary mode of what they consider fair and balanced reporting of the news.

Answer 2

What are you talking about? He is ALREADY President, the campaign ended in November 2008. And I agree w/ The First Dragon, this seems like it was written 2 years ago; especially after I read the 'some radical black communist' part. Reminds me of when those two Black Panther Party members showed up in front of a Philly polling station.



But to answer your question, your question sounds like what the TYPICAL Fox News viewer would say. Now I have nothing against them but after awhile it gets pretty damn annoying. I think all news networks have some bad words for our president, well besides MSNBC. I've heard him criticized on almost every network I've watched. Then again I usually get my news from the web. It's faster, and of course people aren't arguing over which network is the best.

Answer 3

Fox isn't digging, it's just repeating republican innuendos.



It can't even find a picture or witness of Obama and Ayers even in the same room, much less "palling around."



About as deep as they go is to read his books, and try to warp whatever is in there.





If they did the same "fair and balanced" thing to McCain's books (not written by him), they'd find he admits he was a goof-off at the Naval Academy, was in combat for only 40 hours during his whole career, crashed four planes due to negligence, and broke his arms while ejecting because he had not memorized the ejection procedure.



And if you want to talk about his association with shady types, McCain admits to being close friends with G Gordon Liddy, Watergate burglar, a convicted felon, who still promotes shooting federal agents in the head. He's on tape voluntarily saying he admires Liddy's values. You won't see this on Fox News.



They also won't mention McCains association with a certain European billionaire scam artist, of which there are pictures. Or his long friendship with Charles Keating, $300 billion lS&L oser, flying with him on his plane to long vacations in the Bahamas. You won't hear this on Fox news.

Answer 4

The other news media outlets all want to be invited to the white house correspondents dinner and want to be loved by the president so they wil never even try and dig up any dirt on him no matter how much he screws up our country. On the other hand Fox news is a truly independent news organization they do let democrats say what they think and not get yelled at and thrown off of the air because they dislike their politics.

Answer 5

data??? it rather is a hatchet activity. Fox information believes in the adage 'the place there is smoke, there is fireplace' so ever on account that Obama grow to be elected, they have raised suspicions approximately each and everything, hoping some thing will stick in the time-honored public's mind's eye: ACORN, beginning certificates, he's a communist, he's a socialist, he's a fascist, he hates u . s . a ., he's an atheist, the FOCA bill that he's going to bypass, loss of existence panels. it is all subterfuge and lies. as long as they are in a position to improve a cloud of suspicion the place there is not any longer something remotely honest in what they say, they have performed their venture.

Answer 6

Obama isn't just running for President; he IS President.

Most of the news media agree with Obama's politics, so they are not critical of him.

Fox is a little different.

Answer 7

Fox news strongly supports republicans and hates democrats. Obama is a democrat and african american, two things Foxs hates the most so if they get a lot of dirt on him they will constantly harass him.

Answer 8

Was this written 2 years ago?

Answer 9

You ask: "FOX news seems to be the only major news channel digging into the facts on Obama...why is this?"



Because they like digging a hole for themselves.









(I bet they're very muddy down in the hole)
