When asked by NBC's Savannah Guthrie about comments his spokespeople have been making regarding FOX News, Obama said, "It's not something I'm losing sleep over."
Really Mr. President? Then why did you have White House Senior Adviser, David Axelrod go on television and declare that Fox is not a real news station? Why did you have White House Communications Director, Anita Dunn, insist (without a shred of evidence) that FOX takes its talking points from the Republican Party? Why did you exclude FOX from the White House pool? Why did you have White House Chief-Of-Staff, Rham Emanuel, warn all other news entities not to report anything they hear on FOX News? Could it be because you are about to bail out newspapers like The New York Times so that they can continue licking your shoes? Could this be a veiled threat, that if they don't play ball and let you control them like you control the banks and auto industries whom you also bailed out, that they may just have to sink into oblivion? Could it be that FOX concerns you because they are the only ones examining your Marxist Czars and your racist friends and your terrorist associates and your illegally trafficing, supportive organizations like ACORN?
Mr. President, I think FOX does keep you up at nights. I think you make plans round the clock to shut them down or defile their name. They are, after all, one of the few news organizations doing their job, to ask tough questions and keep our country free from the rise of unchecked power.
