Obama Attacking FOX News again

THAT ‘DESTRUCTIVE’ NEWS CHANNEL: President Obama tells Rolling Stone in an interview that Fox News has a political perspective that is “destructive” to the country.

Here’s the full quote:


“The golden age of an objective press was a pretty narrow span of time in our history. Before that, you had folks like Hearst who used their newspapers very intentionally to promote their viewpoints. I think Fox is part of that tradition. It is part of the tradition that has a very clear, undeniable point of view. It's a point of view that I disagree with. It's a point of view that I think is ultimately destructive for the long-term growth of a country that has a vibrant middle class and is competitive in the world. But as an economic enterprise, it's been wildly successful. And I suspect that if you ask Mr. Murdoch what his number-one concern is, it's that Fox is very successful.” - Politico Story

I guess he hasn't taken a look at the politics of MSNBC, CNN, many of the Main Steam News agencies. Oh wait, they lean far toward his point of view. The problem he is facing is that FOX has a huge following which means many in America follow more closely to their viewpoint than the others.
