“The president’s getting hurt real bad,” Clyburn told me. “He needs some black people around him.” He said Obama’s inner circle keeps “screwing up” on race: “Some people over there are not sensitive at all about race. They really feel that the extent to which he allows himself to talk about race would tend to pigeonhole him or cost him support, when a lot of people saw his election as a way to get the issue behind us. I don’t think people elected him to disengage on race. Just the opposite.”

Imagine the reaction of America’s first black president, who famously spent time in Chicago as a community organizer, opening his copy of the Times today to find that Manhattanite caricature Maureen Dowd doesn’t think he’s sensitive enough to racial concerns. Same for Valerie Jarrett, one of The One’s top advisors, whose counsel on racial matters is evidently suspect because she lived in Iran until she was, um, five. In fact, file this one away for future use: According to one of the NYT’s resident Pulitzer-winners, the entire brain trust of this very Democratic, very liberal White House — Obama, Jarrett, Axelrod, Emanuel, Biden, Gibbs, on down — is racially tone-deaf. Good to know.
That's when it was revealed to me that, y'all, it's about poor versus those who have, and not so much about white -- it is about white and black, but it's not -- you know, it opened my eyes, 'cause I took him to one of his own and I put him in his hand, and felt okay, I've done my job.

FOX New is the #1 rated cable new channel for over 10 years running.
They are also Fair and Balanced.
They also report the news that the others don't touch. Reverend Wright, TEA Parties, Black Panthers voter intimidation etc.
Why watch any other cable news, when FOX reports it up front from the beginning, while the others are backtracking and trying to catch up?

I would be one hundred precent fine with Fox News if only they would change their name to the Conservative News Channel and get rid of their fair and balanced motto because these guys are definitely NOT fair and balanced.

I think it's a discredit to FOX News to say they are the same as any other news outlet. CNN doesn't have a Tea Party... Neither does MSNBC... FOX News not only has one, but they even stage protests. That's gotta be worth something extra, right?
On Monday's News Live, MSNBC's Contessa Brewer expressed incredulity at the revelation that journalist Andrew Breitbart will be appearing at a Republican fundraiser. "I mean, really? Is he going to be a good fund-raiser for the Republicans?"
Reporter Richard Wolffe lectured, "Because if he is that much of a political activist that he is raising money for the RNC, then he is not quite the journalist he describes himself as."
Yet, those exact words could be put to Brewer. On July 24, she was the featured guest at a fundraiser in Kentucky for gay rights. This despite the fact that the anchor has also reported on gay rights for MSNBC. On the July 12 News Live, she wondered why American politicians weren't "taking a stand" on ending Don't Ask, Don't tell.
We often hear lefties rage against Rupert Murdoch for allegedly harming the objectivity of his employees by forcing his "right-wing" politics on them. At the same time, however, our journalistic bluenoses routinely turn a blind eye to flagrant corporate-sponsored journalism such as "Green" or the equally disturbing case of an Australian company literally banning its employees from criticizing its own "Earth Hour" campaign.
