Iowa congressman Steve King ripped into the NFL commissioner
The White House is tapping out in its war with Fox News Channel. Obama's press secretary Robert Gibbs reached out to FNC senior vice-president Michael Clemente, and during a meeting Wednesday agreed to call a truce. The White House will apparently no longer criticize cable's top-ranked news channel.
President Obama, chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, senior advisor David Axelrod and communications director Anita Dunn all publicly slammed Fox within the past three weeks. The attacks backfired. Fox's ratings grew by 10 percent since Dunn fired the first shot, four other networks pushed back against Obama's bullying, and CBS exposed the White House for lying about excluding Fox from a network pool interview.
The winner of the war, by far, is the Fox News Channel. If this were a UFC fight, Fox is Brock Lesnar, the undisputed champion that gets better with each fight. The Obama administration comes off as Kimbo Slice, a hyped-up bully who is beaten down and revealed to be a rank amateur.
The real losers are the American people, who expect results from their taxpayer dollars. The White House wasted countless time and effort preparing a strategy against Fox, instead of preparing a strategy in Afghanistan, where our troops are in harm's way. However, do not expect the truce to last long. Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity have plenty of ammunition left to fire at the most liberal President in U.S. history.
Iowa's Steve King grills NFL commissioner on Limbaugh hypocrisy
Iowa's own 5th District Congressman Steve King absolutely demolished NFL commissioner Roger Goodell today. While also getting in a nice plug for the undefeated and 4th ranked Iowa Hawkeyes, King brilliantly exposed Goodell's utter hypocrisy in making critical comments about Rush Limbaugh. Goodell was completely silent about controversial statements made by other NFL owners, including Fergie and Jennifer Lopez. Limbaugh was part of a group trying to purchase the NFL's St. Louis Rams, but several media outlets false attributed racist statements to him. The talk radio giant was forced to remove himself from the ownership group.
Watch the video for Steve King's smackdown of Goodell.
