King Obama is living on a different planet. It shows you how gigantic his ego is and how he thinks he can do what ever he wants. Very, very scary. What is more scary is that people still support this douchebag. The sad part is even though the other networks saw the danger of this they will go back to kissing his ass instantly.

They are taking this anti-Fox strategy too far and it will backfire.

Without Fox News I’m sure Van Jones would still be a czar.

I realize Fox is biased, but when the other networks are all sack riding Obama’s every move maybe a little bias is a good thing.

Fixed

On a side note: I am glad all the new stations pulled together on this one. If they allowed him to oust one, why not all.

Foxnews does suck I mean they report on Obama’s commies or charges on Acorn while the other networks report on his puppies or the latest dress Michele has worn while jerking themselves off under the news desk.

Was it a dumb move to call out a network? Yes, but seriously why can faux news get a way with reporting so much garbage? I think there should be some level of accountability to what they report

When they stop reporting their opinion and flat out lies as news, then they can be taken seriously. MSNBC is full of just as much bias, but they tend to keep it to commentary and not report it as news.

I like the first ammendment a lot more than I dislike Fox News, so :tup: to this. While this isn’t censoring, it’s close enough.

Do you really think that Obama was the only one to decide this course of action? Did he kill your fucking dog or something? Every chance you get you try to make personal attacks on him when you clearly have no fucking clue what kind of person he really is.

Don’t take this as me defending any party in particular, because I really don’t give a shit. But a lot of times when I read your posts you sound like your mind is made up on every topic depending on **who** the topic is about, not **what** the topic is about.

So do **you** really think the call to exclude a major news network **didn’t** come from the top? Reading most of your posts you’re just as guilty as BED, but you’re playing for the other side. “Well it can’t be Obama’s call, I love him, I better jump right in and defend him”.

hahaha, have I really defended any political decisions at all on here?

Edit- and to make it clear, I don’t agree/disagree with any of Obamas decisions. The only reason I like him at all is because he lived in Hawaii and I’ve talked to multiple people there (where he went to school at Punahou, and frequently visited before his presidency) that say he’s an amazing person.
