Obama Blames Fox News for Election Loss

MaggieD said:
Unbelievable. Fox News was the only balanced reporting out there. We can't have THAT now, can we??

Tilting in a different direction is still tilting. Not every story on or not on any news media is unbiased - one must remember that most news media bias is by omission and no media can cover everything.

Maybe it was to not confuse him with Raul Castro?

I think that using his first name safely covered that possibility. I guess they could have used "former President" but using "Mr." does not help to clarify anything except disrespect.

Did you actually read what he said?

Is conservatism to blame whenever Republicans lose elections?

Yes. And yes, if they were actually promoting it. Whens the last time you saw a Republican run on conservativism? When they lost the primary?
 
MaggieD said:
Why are you insulting me personally because we disagree? Nice.

Fox News is the country's go to for breaking news. I find its reporting more accurate that others. They have reporters on staff rather than regurgitating others' reporting. They are as fair and balanced as anything out there.

You obviously couldn't know that, because your opinion of them is SO low, you don't watch them. Nor, apparently, do you watch any cable news. Your uninformed opinion is just that.

Maggie Maggie Maggie ... shame on you for challenging a self-acclaimed humorist, journalist, and mixologist ... probably a Ren·ais·sance man, actually.

He just cant seems to stop blaming anyone but himself, liberalism, and the message itself for their inability to convince more people to vote for them. No, its always Fox News, race, or communication thats the problem. I cant say that Ive ever seen Fox News on a TV in a bar or restauraunt anywhere. Its always sports.

In a way, I suppose he is right. They did say people cling to their guns and bibles. That theyre racist and deplorable. If thats not disrespect...

Fox News lives rent free in his head and probably always will.

Well what do you expect from a victim culture advocate? One of the planks is that bad things happening to people is rarely/never their fault, abusers did it....

Until they figure out that they are the problem, and then learn to do better, D's will likely continue their long record of losing.

He has shown an inability to accept his part in anything that has occurred since he took office. Not even his own hypocritical insults to large swaths of the population. He is the perpetual victim and when it comes to the subject of Fox News I am reminded of what Chris Wallace said about Obama and his administration. "They are the biggest bunch of crybabies I have dealt with in my 30 years in Washington”. Obama won't ever be able to come to the point to admit his own part in placing his party in the worst position power wise that the party has been in since the 1920's. It's all everyone else's fault with this guy and it always will be I suspect.
 
yes Obama, the blame is you haven't cornered every newspaper, tv show, hollywood movie, and news program to cater to your views.

While all that may be true, as he has said himself, his approval ratings are quite high, and that is all that matter to him.

If you are talking about Shep Smith, I can agree with that because he really is a straight news guy.

Shep is honest and my favorite news caster, nationally. Actually he is only one of two that I will watch, nationally. My favorite local newscaster is Kyle Clark. He is honest and looks at both sides.

I read the article in full and actually Obama has a better grasp on why the Democrats lost than most Democrats do. They should listen to him but they won't.

funny observation, CNN just stated "president obama will not be attending Mr. Fidel Castro's funeral, Meanwhile trump is looking to appoint blah blah blah"......
Click to expand...

The NYT routinely refers to ANYONE upon second reference as "Mr.," "Mrs." or whatever, especially if they're deceased.

CNN refers to President Obama as "president" because HE'S THE PRESIDENT. They referred to Castro as "Mr." because he's dead and he wasn't the President of Cuba at the time of his death.

Are you really going to piss and moan about THAT? How unbelievably petty can you get?

Fox spews the least leftist soros propaganda of all MSM, but is still somewhat effected by it on certain subjects.. They slip it in there at times..

I don't frequent any certain media regularly, I check on many of them to see what they are up to..
