An Odd Way of Showing It

Chris Wallace takes Fox News to task over 2 hours of Obama bashing.



I wonder how much longer Wallace is going to be allowed to remain at FNC? I think what gets me about this whole news channel is they consider themselves so fair and balanced-- it's their trademark name. But look at their lineup. Their morning show, which is demonstrated in the clip above, is 3 people who have not one good thing to say about the Democratic front runner. They all might not be Republican, or at least not admit to it, but they are all very vocal about a Democrat not winning in November. Name me one other network that has this kind of morning show. There is nothing fair and balanced about it. FNC begins every day with Obama bashing, so much so Wallace, an actual news anchor, finally has to call them on it.

Fox News isn't going to change. Wallace's little slap on the hand will do nothing to cleanup the garbage Fox promotes. What should be obvious, though, is that FNC is tabloid journalism and only adds to the fantasy world Republicans live in.

*Update:

More very fair and balanced news from FNC's campaign headquarters site.

Good Friday was a very good Friday for Barack Obama, as news of passport breaches in the State Department and a much-sought endorsement from New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson shifted the focus away from the racial controversies that have dogged him for more than a week.

Obama tried to put to rest discussions of race on the campaign trail Tuesday, when he gave a speech addressing his relationship with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, whose anti-U.S. sermons dominated campaign coverage for days.

The Wright controversy proved difficult to shake, however. Obama’s speech did not immediately stop the media replay of Wright’s most heated sermons, and polls indicated the Illinois senator was losing ground because of the focus on the issue.

Difficult to shake? Seems to me the only news source still running endless replay's of Wright's sermons is Fox News.

One gets the feeling after reading this article that Obama breeched his own passport so the press would get off his case about being a racist. There's a wag the dog feel to the whole thing. And where is a quote from an Obama spokesperson? There's one from a Republican strategist and one from a Democratic strategist with ties to Hillary but nothing from Obama. Wouldn't a fair and balanced media source get a quote from the subject of the article? Or if they can't, then they would leave the other two out; that's what journalism is all about. But not Fox News. Ethics has never stood in the way of a good piece of tabloidism.
