Some thoughts on the administration's 'use' of the media.

Personally I think he is taking it a little to far.

He had used the media effectivly to get to the White House. Worked then and I guess he figures it will work now.

snubbed fox news though.

a true leader addresses ALL of the nation... not HALF of it.

shame.

guess he was scared.

true cowardice

Does this mean you believe FOX has 50% of the audiance? How can that be?

no... and i thought it would be a matter of time before that was said.

what i mean is that fox carries a large number of conservative "right" side of the aisle viewers.

why is it that Obama doenst wish to talk to the "right" half of this nation.

the Dems have repeatedly snubbed fox news.

do they think Fox News Viewers dont matter?

like it or not the news in America is no longer unbiased... and Obama interviewed predominately with the carriers that have been pro "left" in the past.

i guess... as a right sider - and as a fox news viewer - the president and most other democrats just doesnt care to address me and my "friends".

Leader gives opposition cold shoulder: shock-horror.
