How come they didn't raise a stink when it first appeared (and Obama wasn't president)?

And the only time I remember GWB reading to kids was on the day his press office told him the WTC and the Pentagon had been hit, Sept. 11, 2001. I guess he thought he could scooch down behind one of the kids' desks and no one would notice him.
"(This was later relaxed after it developed that 'Maria' lived in our neighborhood and I was starstruck.) "
Cuidado, Sadie! If you're not vigilant, those communists are going to have you singing "Who Are the People in Your Neighborhood" in Spanish.

A big problem with the democratic party is that they've been in the habit of laying down & taking all sorts of ridiculous crap from the other side and it's time that they stand up for themselves and let it be known that what Fox is doing is running their organization like TMZ & passing it off like it's a legitimate news source. In fact, I won't be happy until Fox is somehow disallowed from calling what they do "news reporting" as long as they're making up this sci-fi shit that doesn't exist. As far as I'm concerned, they're the National Enquirer of TV news & shouldn't be put into the same category as CNN and the BBC. #foxnews

and while i am no fan of fox news and only watch when i'm checking in with the enemy or need to feel smarter, it seems kind of silly for the obama administration to indulge them in this way. isn't all the attention this getting just giving them more relevance and legitimization as a political base? #foxnews

Did Fox even cover the G20 protests as it did the TeaBaggers? No. Did it encourage protests against immigration reform or troop surges in Afghanistan? No. When Fox says that protest is "your voice. Stand up!" it means "stand up" for your nostalgic fear and ignorance. Issues don't matter, emotions are all that matter. It's not libertarian, conservative, or fundamentalist, but a embittered mob of disaffected, orphaned sentiment, with no intellectual component.
"You need to take America back to a simpler time." This is the same rhetoric the Taliban uses in mosques around the world. And Rupert Murdoch has given it a soapbox.
I'm pretty sure William Buckley is turning in his grave right now. #foxnews

Conservatives are nowhere near marginalized. They're going strong in the south and will probably pick up several Congressional seats in 2010 unfortunately. They won't have the majority, but I wouldn't be surprised if they won it back by 2012 or 2014. Right now, though, it's their punishment for screwing up two wars and the economy, not even counting humpteen craptastic executive orders. You don't get listened to for a while.
A hypothetical: let's say Obama wins re-election with a cousin in charge of a network first reporting that he won, you had better believe the Republicans would be going batshit over it.

Last night I was stuck in a Fox watching situation. They're whining. O'Reilly and Hannity were both whining about "the White House hates us." They have a whole new "tough news" collage that they're showing, in an attempt to prove that they're a news organization, as opposed to being stenographers for the right, which is what they really are. We should ALL hate this - and we should ALL keep hating the fact that all of the mainstream media is guilty of feeding us bullshit instead of news. Instead of endless hours of balloon boy - why aren't we hearing health care stories? Why is there NO investigative reporting?
I'm perfectly okay with the White House pointing out that most of what happens at FOX is not news - it's opinion masquerading as fact. #foxnews

Whether you like it or not, many people do watch Fox news, and many people are conservative. If the president denies that being a conservative is a legitimate standpoint, and alienates an entire viewing audience, then he's not a real President of the People. I should like to think that the president who won a NOBEL PEACE PRIZE wouldn't try to marginalize people in his own country. #foxnews
