The war Obama can't win ~ By Bill Press

By Bill Press Posted: October 23, 2009 ~ 1:00 am Eastern © 2009 No matter how many more troops he sends into battle, President Obama must understand that this is one war he can't win. No, I'm not talking about the war between American troops and the Taliban. I'm talking about the war between the White House and Fox News. War with Fox was declared by Gen. Barack Obama himself on Sept. 20, when he appeared on five Sunday morning political shows but deliberately shunned "Fox News Sunday" and showed up on Univision, instead – which caused Fox anchor Chris Wallace to sound like a crybaby in calling White House aides "the biggest bunch of crybabies I have dealt with in my 30 years in Washington." The war escalated a couple of weeks later when Obama communications Director Anita Dunn took the gloves off. Appearing on "Reliable Sources," she told CNN's Howard Kurtz that Fox was little more than "the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party." That's their business, Dunn added, "but let's not pretend they're a news organization like CNN is." Joining forces, Moveon.org then issued a call for all Democrats in Congress to decline interviews on Fox for the rest of the year in support of Obama's decision to do the same. And Slate's Jacob Weisberg similarly challenged all "respectable journalists" to stop appearing on its programs. Taking on the biggest of the cable news networks is a risky strategy for the White House. Previous presidents have taken on other news outlets and failed. And I believe the Obama administration will, too. [CLICK HERE TO READ MORE]

Editor's Note: I do not normally agree with Bill Press on anything, and though he throws in the typical liberal jive on this column, I decided to include it here in the blog today. And by the way, Bill, don't you wonder why people love Fox News so much? Could it be that people are sick and tired of the liberal bias on ALL of the MSM "news" (propaganda) networks?
