Rahm Emanuel: Fox Isn't a News Organization Because it Has a Perspective
« on: October 18, 2009, 10:00:41 AM »


White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel Sunday made one of the most absurd comments to date about the Administration's fight with the Fox News Channel.

In his "State of the Union" interview with CNN's John King, Emanuel said, "It's not a news organization so much as it has a perspective."

Maybe more importantly, Emanuel told King that the White House doesn't want other news outlets to emulate Fox because the cabler isn't offering "both sides' sense of a valued opinion"

Quote
RAHM EMANUEL, WHITE HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF: No, it's not so much a conflict with Fox News. But, unlike I suppose the way to look at it, and the way we, the President looks at it, we look at it is it's not a news organization so much as it has a perspective. And that's a different take. And more importantly is not have the CNN's and the others in the world basically be led and following Fox as if that what they're trying to do is a legitimate news organization in the sense of both sides' sense of a valued opinion.

So, any media outlet that has a perspective isn't a news organization?

Using that guideline, doesn't it rule EVERY entity that offers opinion and commentary -- which is virtually every media group in America -- out as a news organization?

Yet, maybe most important was Emanuel's last line concerning the White House discouraging "the CNN's and the others in the world" from being "led and following Fox as if that what they're trying to do is a legitimate news organization in the sense of both sides' sense of a valued opinion."

Translation: The White House will now decide who is a news organization and shut down all who don't tow the line.

Preliminary statements before a move to censor free speech.

As if we needed any further proof that the major news outlets are taking their marching orders from the WH Chief of Staff...he goes on tv and pretty much confirms it with this BS.

Just because nobody watches CNN doesn't mean they're not one-sided.  Mark Sanchez, Joy Behar, and Anderson Cooper?  Give me a ****in' break.

That sounds like a warning to CNN and the other "news" organizations.  God, these people scare me.

everyone has a perspective.

Do you not think that Chrissy Mathews, Uberdork, Madnow and Shultzee have a perspective?

I can guarantee you that there is more ideological diversity at FNC than at any of the so-called "news" operations.

Any organization that didn't cover the ACORN thing is not a news organization, thats a truth.

Fox News is not right wing as people think it is. Sheperd Smith is a liberal and Greta van Susteran is a democrat. And O'Reilly is an independent who leans to the right. Glenn Beck is much more libertarian than he is conservative. Neil Cavuto seems conservative when it comes to business politics but moderate conservative when it comes to regular politics. Chris Wallace is a beltway conservative. Geraldo Rivera is a race bating pro-litigation liberal RINO. So the only hard nosed conservative you have on there is really Hannity and Huckabee.

Well Hannity is a strict Reagan conservative. And people forget Reagan's 11th commandment--never attack a fellow Republican.
That's why you never see him go after fellow conservatives.

I also am a believer to Reagan's 11th commandment to a certain extent. With the exception to people like the Maine twin senators, Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins are such RINOS, that if I lived in that state, I would rather vote independent or Democrat just to get rid of them, but other than that I would never vote democrat or independent. I am a good party soldier Republican.

This working as well for the administration as the boycott of Glenn Beck did. Fox's ratings are up much more than the subservient networks.
