You would think a major network like Fox News would try to maintain some sort credibility, but they are doubling down on letting their pundits spread some outrageous claims. that can easily be checked with Google, YouTube, or various fact checkers like one’s memory, for instance.
Some of Fox’s pundits have been saying that, ABC should stand for “All Barack Channel” how creative, I wonder how long it took and how much they paid for that childish acronym. The Fox network has been on this “Unprecedented Access” kick since NBC was allowed to do a two part series, about the new administration and the day to day operations of the White House. ABC will follow up on a feature called “Questions for the president: Prescription for America.” This Health Care Reform feature will allow the president to answer questions from those selected by ABC News.
Karl Rove, of all people, was complaining because former ABC reporter Linda Douglass is now working for the White House. Karl Rove is Fox’s chief political consultant... Dana Perino complained on the Washington Times morning show about the double standard of media access ability. Did she forget the right wing talk show commentators broadcasting from the White House lawn? You gotta give it to Sean Hannity because he kept a straight face when he asked Karl Rove “You were there and the White House for the better part of eight years. Did this ever happen while George W. Bush was president? Like everything else, Karl Rove said the White House never gave unprecedented access. I’m sure it slipped his mind that Fox News’s Bret Baier called his documentary covering the White House, Air force One and Bush’s ranch in Texas, an Unprecedented Access inside the president’s world.
I understand media jealousy but this is taking it to a new level where an entire network becomes devoted to being against anything this president does. In an interview with CNBC, President Obama noted the constant criticism he receives from Fox by saying “I’ve got one television station that is entirely devoted to attacking my administration. Leave it to right-wing conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer to twist the president’s words by saying “He said, I think accurately, that it is the one, only voice of opposition in the media. No, it starts with Fox and Friends in the Morning, and they don’t end the criticism until late at night, which is their right, but they should be honest about it.
I still remember Bill O’Reilly making a fool of himself at the rope line trying to get access to then presidential candidate Obama. Fox would love to have access to the president, but they want it on their terms. Fortunately, it does not work that way.

I certainly hope Bachman stays around for a while. She is good for a good laugh a week.
2010 Census:
* The census is mandated by the U.S. Constitution (Article I, Section 2). Every 10 years, a count of everyone living in the United States is taken. The census encompasses:
June 19, 2009 at 3:45 p.m.o All 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Island Areas.
o People of all ages, races, ethnic groups, citizens and non-citizens.
o People should be counted where they live most of the year.
* The next census is in 2010.
* Census data are used to distribute Congressional seats to states, to make decisions about what community services to provide, and to distribute federal funds to local, state and tribal governments.
Lol….Glenn Beck is perfect for that vid clip. If Glenn Beck just had a big red nose to go with that cookie stuffed face, it would’ve been perfect for a clown segment.
It must be hard to be a right wing conservative these days with blood pressure running at 200/200, worrying about everything Obama is doing….. While I was going out to Wal-Mart this afternoon, I was listening to Rush’s replacement talking about the boycott of the day. It seems like they’re going to stand by Michelle Bachman protesting United States Census questions as being unconstitutional. Of course Bachman thinks that bogeyman organization ACORN is going to ask probing questions for Obama….lol.. Mr. Davis was mumbling something about privacy not being in the constitution and a constitutional stance can be taken on the word “liberty”….. I know they come out every 10 years but someone came about couple years ago with a laptop from the Census Bureau. I think the whole process took about 10 minutes.
Is it just the local conservatives that like to use the word ",we", as if they’re talking for the forum, and all of them must be lawyers or at least have slept in a Holiday Inn Express because they will pull out the Constitution in a New York minute… They will miss quote it, but that’s a subject for another blog.
