Meanwhile, Fox received support Wednesday from an unlikely source: CNN's prime-time host Campbell Brown. She interviewed Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett and asked whether the White House considered left-leaning MSNBC biased as well. Jarrett wouldn't speak about the network.
She "seems loathe to admit that MSNBC has a bias," Brown said. "And that is where I think the White House loses all credibility on this issue."
If the White House wants to talk about bias in the media, officials "should elevate the conversation and talk about bias on the right and on the left," Brown said. "Because when you just target one side, you reveal your own bias — that you are only critical of those who are critical of you."

Admitting that all cable news channels have a much more damaging bias towards the superficial and uncritical acceptance of whatever spin the guests spew would be more helpful and more courageous.
A scathing criticism of CNN's weak journalism:
I got this letter from them....
Dear Friend -- Together, we raised the $16,000 needed to run our TV ad on CNN -- telling the station to drop Lou Dobbs's one-sided, anti-immigrant "news" show.
Unfortunately, CNN isn't having it. They called to say they won't take our money and have refused to air our "Drop the Hate" TV ad. But we've worked too hard to give up -- and we need your voice now. Please stand with us in telling CNN's president, Jonathan Klein, that he can't silence our growing movement!
http://www.AmericasVoiceOnlin... By refusing to deal with Lou Dobbs and his nightly tirade against immigrants, Latinos, and people of color, CNN is quickly losing credibility as the "Most Trusted Name in News." As people become aware of the network's one-sided coverage of immigration, they will start...............
But, what are the public views of Olbermann, Maddox, and Matthews about this White house attack on the press?
I do understand now that "FOX NEWS is no longer a NEWS organization", Olbermann now claims MSNBC is now the number 1 cable news channel.
It must be good to have friends in high places.
Maybe it is time to stop watching all cable "news" and watch the regular evening news on CBS, NBC and ABC.
i agree/disagree with o'reilly on somethings but he is no beck or hannity
i agree that glenn beck and hannity are opinion
will you agree that olbermann and maddox are opinion?
even matthews admits to electricity running down his leg when he hears obama speak
i actually watch olbermann and maddox for a few minutes each night for entertainment but not for news
Watch Jon Stewart's show from last night. He will explain it very well.
i guess to those as far left as you, greta, brit and brett would appear to be to the right
for myself and being on right, i could see the same three as being to the left
and jon stewart is definitely a socialist
so, we can agree to disagree i reckon
There are many socialistic/capitalistic democratic countries around the world that work just fine.
Being a socialist, or have programs that are run by the government does not mean that the government tells you what to do, how to do it, and who to do it with.
I think the government should stay out of peoples bedrooms, and not get involved in people's personal lives unless they are doing harm to others. I also believe that every single citizen in this country should have equal rights including gays and lesbians. That is not a socialistic point of view. That is a democratic point of view.
A government can be a capitalistic government and still have socialistic programs that take care of their people. What the hell ils wrong with that.
I hope you are never in a situation where you lose your job, lose your healthcare, come down with a serious illness, and have no one to help you, I suggest you don't go to the government for heip, no collect your social security, and never use medicare.
anyone that goes to an emergency room in the US is cared for, including illegals aliens, so don't give me your story about not being able to get health care.... with this bill the government will limit care where they see fit... in the bill Obama reduces Medicare by $400Billiuon... this whole socialist thing it a rouse to grab power and infiltrate the control of the private sector... it's not as noble as You think.
Have you been to the emergency room lately? Sure, they will treat you if you are ill, or hurt, but they will bill you, too. And if you don't pay, they will send it to collections and come after you. If you do have health insurance, they will only pay 50%, that is after you have paid up the ass in premium for years. After my husband was in the emergency room for one evening it cost us over $2000 and that was with insurance. I want what the government has, I don't want to be strapped with a $2000 bill I can't pay just so my husband gets the care he needs. Now we are looking for new insurance, and we can't get him covered because he has a few very minor health issues. They want us to pay over 400 a month and that doesn't cover shit. I want what congress has, free healthcare, or at least affordable healthcare with low deductables and on pre existing condition claus.
So, don't tell me that Obama is doing this for a power grab. This should have been done 50 years ago. If you like your healthcare coverage, stay with it, but don't block me from getting government care if I need it.
socialist is a bad word to me as in Nation Socialist German Workers Party(NAZI) and Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).
socialism:
1 : any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2 a : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3 : a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done
this did not come from fox but from websters
ever seen a socialist paradise?
We have programs that are run by local, state and federal governments to help people when they are in need. That goes for a government run healthcare program just like Medicare, for people under the age of 65, it is a choice, not manditory. If you don't want it, don't need it, then don't sign up for it. Believe me the main stream insurance co. will not go out of business, in fact they will lower the rates and cover more, because they will have to compete for the first time with an insurance that our elders recieve and the people that run this country, i.e., congress get for free. Funny, why are the republicans so against average americicans getting healthcare just like they are getting for free, paid for with our tax dollars? I want what they have.
and use a paragraph break once in while if you want your posts to be read
after our great depression in 1929, a great many people looked for different systems to prevent and get out of the depression
the greatest revolution in the world was in the Soviet Union and many academics fell for the communist promise of utopia; hence the massive numbers of communists in our universities and government in the thirties, forties, and even fifties
we are only one great depression away from turning towards pure socialism or facism
facism is basically a partnership of private business and government
what do you think is going on now; between the govt taking control of finance and health and maybe transportation next, i think we are not far away
Good grief. Get an education and get real news.
