Fox Criticizes Networks For Not Jumping On Its Manufactured Obama Controversy

[Grassy Knoll]

Fox News host Neil Cavuto and Media Research Center president Brent Bozell castigated the mainstream news networks Thursday for not covering President Obama's speech last week, claiming "it took the networks four days" to "even mention" Obama's "controversial comment." During that speech, Obama made the unremarkable observation that business owners do not achieve success in a vacuum, but that public infrastructure -- such as roads, schools, and fire departments -- create a community that supports businesses.

There was nothing "controversial" about those comments until Fox News grossly ripped one sentence of the speech out of context then devoted hours of airtime to promoting the distortion.

1. They not only produce artificial dribble, but then they milk it too.

[Amonester]

2. They exist to give Job-Destroyer Rmoney faux material to attack the President with.

And about 46% of 'likely voters' only want more...

3. They lie SO easily

These people are real humans!

4. Why aren't you people turning away from Romney's continuing refusal to release his tax returns?

[progressivebydesign]

5. because it wasn't controversial unless you edited it to be that way...

dickheads. It was NOT the way it's being presented. They took it out of context, they doctored it. Just like they're editing out Ann Romney's "you people" comment. Fox News... Brent Bozzell.. bunch of asshats.

6. Seeing that fox is the pr firm for the republicans are you really surprised?

They have been grossly taking out of context anything by any dem to nail them since they began broadcasting while butt kissing just about every republicans shiny ass every chance they get.

7. Fox castigate Mainstream Media

Ha! The Mainstream Media should be castigated for not covering the monumental criminality of Rupert Murdoch. Here is a man with a merry network of vipers, essentially, running the British government. He profoundly corrupted the Prime Minister's office and the police. But it didn't stop there. His nest of felons included other branches of public service. The investigation is also looking at the military, health, prisons and others.

It is absolutely a disgrace that this is not being covered.

11. I'm pretty sure it's being investigated

by the FBI right now. At least as far as hacking is concerned. Welcome to DU (second time I've had a chance to say that today at it's only just before 8AM).

8. When everyone doesn't buy your propaganda...

you chastise them.

[DCBob]

9. Its times like this that makes it so obviouis Faux is simply a mouthpiece for the GOP.

Its pathetic and the vast majority of the country does not even realize they are being manipulated.

10. Is this some sort of confession that they are not MSM? nt

12. You see? Fox is trying to create jobs in manufacturing !

bless their hearts

13. Wambulance time!

14. Real humans understand context and the words before the words you didn't like Neil.

what a douche

[HughBeaumont]

15. Read that first sentence . . .

"Fox News host Neil Cavuto and Media Research Center president Brent Bozell castigated the mainstream news networks Thursday" . . .

Is there really anything to read after that? Is there really anything to take seriously? These two hack shit peddlers are comedy act whores for the Right Wing rulers. They have all the journalistic integrity of a Pravda anchor. Neil with his loaded questions and Brent Bozell with his completely imagined "liberal bias" witch hunts . . . I don't know who's worse.

"HOW DARE you not believe in our out-of-context lie-filled meme!! We RUN this motherfucker!!" Isn't that the most idiotic thing you ever heard?

16. Obama campaign got an ad up immediately after Rmoney's hack job ad - showing the

whole comments. Thank goodness.
