If they had influence they would have had beck canned long ago now common folks!

No need to go Alex Jones on this. Its not a conspiracy its an opinion.

No influence eh?

This is why WND is as laughable as it is. They cannot understand the difference between the Obama campaign controlling their message (which is clearly what was said) and the White House controlling the media. Obama wasn't even in the White House in the timeframe in question, so how can it be a case of the White House controlling the media? It's deliberate spin to serve WND's agenda.

White House boasts: We 'control' news media

Wow they control the media by ....errrr...controlling what they themselves say to the media.

"White House says..."

"White House boasts..."

"White house attempts to control..."

Do you ever wonder if the White House gets a little tired of taking the blame for whatever its current occupants say or do? Has anyone ever asked the White House what its feelings are on this subject?

"White House says 'Stop saying I said this or that! I never said that! I don't even care! Keep my lawn trimmed and I'm happy.'"

I do think it was inappropriate of the administration to make such comments about any news media. The Executive Administration should be above such matters. If they did not like Fox News, then simply ignore them.

If the white house wants to go head to head with fox - its their loss. No-win situations exist, but creating one yourself and then stepping into it isn't real smart.

As for how they feel? Well, maybe if they decided to stay within the role of the Executive Branch instead of what they (and fairly speaking, just about every administratinon in the last 150+ years) are choosing to do, they wouldn't have to worry about it. But stepping outside the guidelines in power grabs are nothing new, both political parties do it when they are in power, so why should this group be any different?

Of course there is no effort to manipulate the media that would be just unthinkable.

White House Loses Bid to Exclude Fox News From Pay Czar Interview

The Obama administration on Thursday tried to make "pay czar" Kenneth Feinberg available for interviews to every member of the White House pool except Fox News. But the Washington bureau chiefs of the five TV networks decided that none of their reporters would interview Feinberg unless Fox News was included.

You're so right.

It was a huge mistake of the administration...
Bt I have yet to hear anyone of the current White House administration stating that !"Fox News are now considered enemies" or anything like that... It's more of a media exageration than anything, bu here go my 2 cents just about the Fox "News"...

Portugal has it's shares of media manipulation/exaggeration and such downfalls... But having seen that so called News Channel made me gag... More than 5 minutes seeing Fox News had me almost throwing my lunch to the otherside of the room... I've never seen such complete dispise of news reporting responsabilities... I felt disgusted and ashamed that a TV channel can manipulate so many people as they seem to be able to, by professing their ideals in a shallow and warped way, to their own gain

So you watched Fox for all of 5 minutes and you figure that's enough to form an intelligent opinion?

SS107.9MHz · 10-23-09, 06:57 PM

No actually I carried on watching it for about an hour... It's like beeing a deer in front of a car at night you just keep staring in disbelief... And I'm beeing serious, maybe that's how they get their audience, you start by loathing it and tthen they get you, like on of those fruity cults... And sometimes I even go back at it but after about half an hour I'm so revolted I have to change the channel... REALLY!!! I'm not just beeing sarcastic!!!

So what program did you watch? Who was the host? What was the subject? I'm curious.

On a slightly related note, does anybody here recall when Glenn Beck misspelled "oligarchy"?
