Thread: Someone is giving this administration bad advice.

Imagine if Bush said anything remotely comparable. The scream of the liberals would be deafening.

This country is ripe for a dictatorship. My 2c.

I'd say that's what we had under Bush. At least now our President considers the Constitution a bit more than just a goddamned piece of paper.

Health care for all citizens? SOCIALIST! Nobel Peace Prize? UNDESERVED! Trying to bring the Olympics to Chicago? HAHA! HE LOST! An aide calling opinion journalism "opinion journalism"? OUR DICTATOR IS WAY OUT OF LINE!

I don't believe the narrative that JMS posted. Coming from FoxNews's website there is a conflict of interest, right there.

I told you, but you voted for him anyway, now we all have to live it.

Ripe for a dictatorship? Heck, I think the wheels have been in motion with allusions to it for some time and just recently we're seeing visible signs of an actual and real push toward that end.

On a note more specific to the issue on this thread, does anyone recall any prior administration raising such a public opposition to a media outlet's coverage and interpretation of said administration?

You call them liars. Are you saying that this a lie, too?

Observers on both sides of the political aisle questioned the White House's decision to continue waging war on a news organization, saying the move carried significant political risks.

Democratic strategist Donna Brazile said on CNN: "I don't always agree with the White House. And on this one here I would disagree."

David Gergen, who has worked for Democratic and Republican presidents, said: "I totally agree with Donna Brazile." Gergen added that White House officials have "gotten themselves into a fight they don't necessarily want to be in. I don't think it's in their best interest."

"The faster they can get this behind them, the more they can treat Fox like one other organization, the easier they can get back to governing, and then put some people out on Fox," Gergen said on CNN. "I mean, for goodness sakes, you know, you engage in the debate.

Do you believe everything you read on the internet, or you pick and choose, if the later, what do you base your selection on?
Actually, this would take it way off topic, so feel free to not answer and continue posting on the topic.

Agree with your opinion on Goebbels. That's why i thought that comparing him to Dunn must be a joke.

On the other quote there was claimed that Dunn statement on some not-so-neutral news channel was actually 'declaring a war'. Such opinion tells me about the lack of the sense of proportion. Things ain't that bad unless you want to see it that way.

Fox crushes the competition in Cable News. No wonder the Obama Administration is trying to marginalize it.

If they could I'm sure they would!

Again, where did I say "Silence" without following with "or marginalize"? Please point it out.

No quick witted retort, just point it out please.
