                      'The only one missing is FOX News'

White House Communication’s Director Anita Dunn has accused Fox News Channel of being a ‘research arm’ and/or a ‘wing of the Republican Party.’  She has also declared that because Fox News is only ‘masquerading as a news network’ it is doubtful any White House staff will be allowed to appear on its programs.  Fox refuses to march to the media popular ‘Obama drumbeat.’  Officially Fox News will be deemed ‘an opponent’ of the White House and will be treated accordingly.

Those who watch Fox, as I do, realize the Fox opinion shows such as Beck, O'Reilly, Hannity, etc., are conservatively biased but they are the only News Network that airs, fairly, both sides of a political argument so its viewers may choose which is true and which is false.  I have friends who say they wouldn’t watch Fox News if their lives depended on it.  My take on that... isn't that like a juror in a trial who, believing an individual is guilty, leaves the jury box when a defense witness takes the stand so you won’t be confused with facts.

Obviously CNN, MSNBC, CBS and NBC are straight shooting, non-biased networks with no left-leaning tendencies and who could be more fair and balanced than MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, Keith Olberman, Rachel Maddow and Ed Schultz.  Harbingers of sweetness and joy all of them.  Wasn’t it CNN and the other networks who began calling the Tea Party and Town Hall protesters Nazi’s and political monsters when they demanded that the government stop spending so profusely?  Isn’t it amazing that when former President Bush was being beaten about the head and shoulders by the liberal media it was called ‘news’ but when American citizens gather together to let people know they don’t like Obama’s policies and spending their protest becomes ‘sedition?’

To clue in President Obama and those whom he has chosen to be his close advisors… right now Fox News is the #1 Cable News Program in the country and has been for 8 years.  By more than a 2-1 margin they attract more viewers than the closest ranking News Network which makes them the strongest, most watched news program ever.

My advice Ms. Dunn …  don’t pull on Superman’s cape.
