You are speaking of commentators who are NOT REPORTING NEWS...got it...NOT REPORTING NEWS. That is why nobody went after the Olbermans, Maddow's etc. They do not report news.
Now the White House will decide open commentary...if it is opposed to what they say then they come after you. Nice country when that is the rule isnt it ?
The WHITE HOUSE is doing this.....the President of the United States has approved and sanctioned a war on a network..think about that for just a second !
PS....AND I did not mention MSNBC generally I mentioned the commentators by name. And NO PRESIDENT DECLARED WAR ON THEM BECAUSE THEY DIDNT AGREE WITH WHAT THEY SAID. WE NOW HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO WILL OPENLY DECLARE WAR ON YOU IF YOU DONT AGREE !

Bucco never answered cologal's question about he context of Beck and Hannity- never does, only diverts to something personal.
George W. Bush blackballed Helen Thomas, The New York Times (He called them "little ****s" (oops, the mic was on!), The Washington Post and the so-called "mainstream media"- don't hear you crowing about objectivity there.
Their press agent Ari Fleischer is still known for his arrogance in deceiving the mainstream press. Administration officials were routinely present on FOX programs, but not other news programs that might actually require them to give an answer. Condi Rice was famous for her comment on Air Force 1saying about FOX, "I love those guys."
To top it off, FOX was exposed during the Bush administration for pre-interviewing its "friends", that is working out the questions and answers before an on-air interview.
FOX, through the Beckerheads and its other agents is oopenly supporting the ********* movement, so much so that a FOX news director was caught on tape on the September 12th event in DC as whipping up the crowd with her arms - like, come on make some noise.
Richard Nixon & Spiro Agnew mercilessly attacked the press when coverage was not favorable
So please, Bucco, don't insult our intelligence by feigning "outrage" that the Obama Administration won't put lipstick on the pig.
It boils down to this:
All administrations try to get their messsage out as positively and/or as unfilitered as possible.
FOX noise does not try to report the news, it "comments" from a right-wing perspective on the news, and tries to call it news.
Did you catch Glen Beck the other night with a lengthy "expose" of how "Hollywood" was going Maoist by planning a week of show themes emphasizing- OH MY GOD- Volunteerism!! He whined on interminably about how encouraging volunteering was akin to Obama being chairman Mao, and how its all a conspiracy to get the ********** into secret detention camps.
Bucco your paranoia and hate blind you to anything and everything that isn't conspiracy or teabag worthy. Let's go from there &things will stay much clearer for everyone.
