War on Fox News diminishes the White House

Cokie and Steve Roberts gives all something to think about in their column titled "War on Fox News diminishes the White House " at: http://www.jewishworldreview.com/1009/croberts.php3 "....Team Obama was spoiled during the campaign by highly favorable press coverage that flummoxed their rivals (just ask Hillary). They benefited from what we have always believed is the most consistent bias in journalism: Reporters are in favor of a good story and against whoever is in power. "Like Obama, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush all profited from being outsiders who challenged a familiar and fatigued establishment. (The only winner in 33 years who followed a different strategy was George H.W. Bush). Once the election is over, however, the pattern shifts. The press tilts against the man who has gone from insurgent to insider; criticizing a president is a better story than praising him, and that's a good thing. Every president has enormous ability to shape and control what the public hears and sees; only an independent media can keep him honest and hold him accountable. "So the White House should stop whining about a vast Fox wing conspiracy. It goes with the territory." I'm sure the outrageous summer, with the lies about the health care plan, Death Panels, has something to do with the decision to finally do something. What should they do, just let Fox continue to get more and more off base? You would think the extreme death panel argument would drive people away from the source. Just how far would they take making **** up? |
