Check out this excerpt:

according to the link, Obama didn't go on Fox because Obama didn't respect the network.

a different reality is portrayed in Fox's version of the story.

why did Fox create a misleading context for Dunn's answer, Goobieman?

So you're going to generalize. Which statement of mine was a red herring? I didn't change the subject. You said they're supposed to fact check. I pointed to several anchors out and out lying and not fact checking which you said you don't care about.

When was Fox doing what it was supposed to be doing? You still haven't pointed out when news anchors on fox have done actual fact checking you just continue repeating the line as if saying it more times will make your statement correct. Did you take offense when MSNBC was blacklisted by the bush administration?

PogueMoran

So Goobie if you had a crazy neighbor who constantly yelled at you to get off their lawn, Clint Eastwood Gran Turino style even though you never stepped foot on their lawn would you go up and talk to them? Invite them to dinner give them any level of credibility?

Uh, no. I tend to like my men a little evolved and capable of holding a conversation that doesn't break down into grunt and point.

Goobieman

Look, if you're just going to lie about it, there's no sense in continuing the conversation.

Right here, in your own post, is proof:

Yes, I did.
Youhave yet to agree to this.

Aside from the fact that I said no such thing and tha you have not proven this to be the case -- this is the red herring. This is you diverting the issue away from what it is to something else.

That you CLAIM that FNC did not previously fact check certain other stories does not in any way change the fact that they DID fact-check this particular one, that them doing so was a perfectly legitimate thing for them to do as it is part of the job, and that The Administrations reaction is reprehensible.

So you can't point out the red herring and you're just using words that you have no idea the meaning of.

Proof of what? That fox is supposed to fact check but doesn't

I would if I actually saw them doing the job of the media and fact checking they didn't do it during the Bush Administration not seeing much of it now.

Yeah you already stated that you don't care if they didn't fact check by your statement below:
You already told me even if I gave you direct links that it wouldn't matter because it wouldn't change your partisan opinion. You say they're there to fact check but if shown proof that they've lied that it doesn't matter to you because you already have your storyline all worked out.


How do you fact check a story about oneself? The administration is treating them with the disregard they deserve. Throughout the election the network lied about him constantly, now they've lied about the health care bill, lied about his religion, the school speech, etc. Besides when Obama gave a speech all networks covered it except fox and now he's not giving them coverage in return. You seem to have no problem with the Bush administration doing it to MSNBC and the NYtimes when they were doing their job. Was it equally reprehensible back then?

Goobieman

Did you read the rest of my post?
Where I did just that?
Where I siad:

Thatls your red herring, bub.

Your offer of a red herring.

This is a statement you have not yet supported, even after being asked to do so several times.


Look... whatever drugs you're on, dont stop taking them, as I don't think you'll survive the crash.

The Prof

ironies abound

axelrod claims fox is biased and pure opinion journalism while answering a question on abc's sunday talk posed by george stephanopoulos, top clintonista in 1992

stephanopoulos moderating a news panel is exactly analogous to karl rove doing the same

the white house feels hassled by fox fact checking and encourages msm's like the alphabet networks and cnn not to follow suit while cnn fact checks snl comedy skits yet fails to do the same to bogus bulletins attributed to the harmless fuzzball

indeed, cnn for several days energetically promotes those made up slurs assigned to rush

and keith olbermann---the WORST PERSON IN THE WOOORRRLLLDDD---hosts an nfl show

anita dunn, white house communications director, who started the fox war 8 days ago on howie kurtz' reliable sources, cnn's media exam of the media, embraces mao as her favorite philosopher and brags her admin "controls" the news so as to avoid "having to actually talk to reporters"

and ZERO msm's find the story worthy of 15 seconds' interest

only fox

irony is when a fire station burns down

I would have thought that The Obama WH would have learned form history that it really does not pay off all that much to fight the media or parts of the media. LBJ, Nixon, and Bush II did it. That is not exactly a Troika of tremendous intellectual thinking that anyone should mimic.
