…The White House obviously is out of it’s league in the Middle East, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, China, Russia. So FOX is gonna get it when school gets out.

They’re out of their league against Fox. Especially Hume.

This is just one of many Obama Waterloos. By the time he’s voted out of office no one will be able to count them. The administration is acting stupidly, and good for Brit to challenge these other “journalists” because they’re acting stupidly as well. Kudos for Tapper who will go down in history as the only one with the courage to ask the tough question. It’s pitiful there aren’t others raising their hand. Oh yea, and right on HELEN!

Still say, we are missing the point. They don’t care about the polls or elections. If they continue to get their legislation and policies in place those will be “meaningless”. This will be a dictatorship by then.

Oh please ann, no one who thinks mao was a great person should have an opinion beyond “does this dress make my butt look fat?”

BTW this has been a troll-free thread so far. Must be the day all the Kos Kiddies get a field trip to the zoo?

I think this just shows how deep the shunning goes. Not only will they shun FOX but even threads that are about FOX.
Intstead of holding crosses up in front of themselves like one would to ward off a vampire, they make a little circle with their thumb and forefinger, if they see FOX in the circle, they SHUN.

His fall from heaven is going to be ugly.

Already falling. He will “spin in” IMHO. He and his lickspittles lost control of the message when they created one cluster fark after another.

They are a clown posse and now everyone can see it.

Excellent observation.

I love this guy.

It takes some kind of true belief to repeat other people’s lies when you know they are flat out lies.

Not having read the previous comments and which I’m sure are salient and on point. May I remind the Hot Air readership, not to take anything away from Jake Tapper, about the scandalous suppression of “The Path to 911″ mini series produced by ABC and, to this day, unreleased on DVD, apparently on behest of the Clintons?

I mentioned this in another thread here yesterday. My guess was the the only reason Tapper got this plum ABC job is that he has all the dirt on why Disney/ABC aren’t releasing it. The WH assignment is his reward for keeping his mouth shut.

It’s really no question at all. The liberal media and liberal administrations are best friends, and FOX News is the common enemy. The liberal media has been the lackey of liberal administrations for decades, and never more so than today, so why should rank and file liberal media outlets protest when a Dem administration bags on FOX News?

Rather than protest, the shrewd response of liberal media would be to circle the wagons around the administration, and affirm rather than question this latest wave of FOX bashing.

Excellent point!

That would make an excellent cartoon.

Actually there are a few dead canaries that are being completely ignored! Banks, Insurance, Cars, the voting process… dead birds at the bottom of the cage and everyone is fine with it. They don’t even bury the birds.

They’re not dead, they are just “pining for the fjiords”.

… the London Telegraph channels Pastor Niemoller …

Other than Fox, the legacy media is politically wedded to Obama and the Democrats. It would take real courage for one of these prevaricators to step into the limelight and express an opinion similar to that of Jake Tapper.
.
What is really obvious is that the Niemoller verses about the victims of unopposed power really apply to the Obama administration and why the geniuses in the Mostly Stupid Media can’t see it just illuminates their inability to analyze an obvious problem. Complex problems like AGW and economic recovery are way beyond them so any analysis about these difficulties from the Lapdog Scared Media is suspect at the very beginning.
.
I truly expect, in the near future, that the now-shackled media outlets who parrot the administration lies will willingly apologize to the American people for their failure of conscience and professional behavior. They are not showing evidence of either, except for Fox News.

Tapper is not the only ABC heretic on the left. George Stephanopoulos has asked Obama representatives some penetrating questions. I hope ABC News will support Tapper when the hammer comes down.

Terrie on October 21, 2009 at 10:45 AM

I wouldn’t count on Stephanopoulos to do much heavy lifting. If he has any beef with Obama it is because he is the consummate Clinton loyalist. Remember he hung on even after being directly lied to by Clinton about Monica. It takes some kind of true belief to repeat other people’s
lies when you know they are flat out lies.

Fox is the canary in the coal mine. I just hope the other news outlets don’t play along.
