Obama shuns Fox News at press conference

Ha!

Here’s the story.

And here’s my favourite response on the Huffington Post’s comments board:

“No news entity has done more to harm this country over the last 20 years than FOX news. They blurred the line between reporting and commentary and lowered the bar for both. They gleefully disseminated propaganda and misinformation for partisan political objectives. They substituted infantile shouting matches for civil discourse. A well-informed citizenry is necessary for democracy to function property. Fox viewers come away lacking a basic fund of information to make decisions affecting their lives and the country. Fox is a cancer that should be cut out.”

    I hope this doesn’t backfire. Some of the people at Fox are very angry, scary, bitter people.

    And I’ve only ever watched in while on holiday in the states!

    well according to that article, even Rupert Murdoch is embarrassed by Fox News.

    not unlike the GOP, they may have to have something of a rebirth. or they’ll just end up shouting into the wilderness for the next four to eight years… in fact, thinking about it: considering how angry and shouty they’ve been for the past decade or so, can you *imagine* how angry and shouty they must be now?!

    (fortunately, I only have to imagine. I don’t have to watch :-) . )
