[...] Allah thinks it’s “containment” they’re after – a bid to make sure no stories on Fox “crossover” into “legitimate” media. But few are crossing over now. Besides, the tone of coverage on the other partisan networks is still pleasant enough towards the administration, that you wonder why they’re so worried. [...]

“But I think Mike Allen and Josh Gerstein nail the real explanation in their story today: The White House is working to prevent stories born on Fox from crossing over into more widely-viewed media.”

Snicker, it seems politico lives on a different planet, in a different universe, or in an entirely different continuum from reality. “More widely-viewed” indeed. I’m still laughing.

Weak theory…not a zero, but weak.

I’m more tin-hat foilish and believe this is the foundation for something bigger and more against the Constitution than just trying to scare away an MSM that’s down with their ideologies anyway.

Barry is a good marxist and is doing what smarter and meaner people are telling him to. Those are his only utilities to anyone. If rendered a public eunuch by all the media, who knows what might happen when the bigger and meaner ambitions are angered?

With Obama, everything is Alinsky style. He can’t control himself. He doesn’t even know he’s doing it. Basically, if someone can ask questions and can reach the public, this must be eliminated at all costs. Fox News fits that criteria and must be eliminated. The other networks aren’t asking questions, so they’re “news”.

The reason Obama and his band of loons are lashing out against Fox News is that they are two-bit Chicago thug politicians, nothing more, nothing less. If they lose control of the brainwashed lemmings, the power that they used to take the White House will dissipate and they will become the eunuchs that they are destined to be.

“It’s not a news organization so much as it has a perspective,” Emanuel said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “More importantly, is to not have the CNNs and the others in the world basically be led in following Fox, as if what they’re trying to do is a legitimate news organization.”

From that paragraph alone, you can smell the fear emanating from Emanuel. They’re possibly losing some support from their minions, and want to correct, and control that before it’s to late. If the msm’s, willingly follow this path, it will be to their own detriment.

Apparently Fox News is to become the National Enquirer of the cable news set regardless of how much better MSNBC fits that role.

NTropy on October 21, 2009 at 12:19 AM

How ironic that the “National Retarder” broke the story of John Edwards love child a year ago, and the media covered up for him, denied everything and today? The National Enquirer is one of the few media outlets to carry “REAL” news stories?

Never fear, this ~~White~~ Red House will demand what THEY deem as true news and what THEY will ALLOW the media to write. Noooo, that is NOT media bias, just journalistic integrity for this Red House.

It is Saul Alinsky’s tactics, pure and simple. Pick a target, frame it, freeze it, demonize it while the REAL story is to pass a ridiculous healthcare bill.

They did it with Rush last week, Afghanistan this week, knowing the election had questionable rsults FOR OVER 9 MONTHS?

IT IS THEIR OPERATING METHOD!!!

GET BACK ON POINT, it is the healthcare bill.

What is funny is that the WH dismissing Fox as a non-news source, only makes them look better and the alphabet networks look worse.

Hard to see the rats unless you move the garbage, good job Fox for moving the garbage so we can see that the whitehouse is not working for the people they are working against them.
