Video: Fox News Responds To White House Attacks
(hat tip Breitbart TV)
The HuffPo’s Andy Ostroy Is An Ass Hat
When I watched President Obama’s big speech on health care the other night I was watching it on Fox News — or so I thought.
It turns out I was suffering some type of hallucination. According to The Huffington Post’s Andy Ostroy, Fox News didn’t air the Obama speech.
So President Barack Obama on Wednesday night gave the most important speech of his presidency on an issue, health-care reform, which has taken center-stage in American politics over the past several months. Every single major network and cable-tv news network carried the prime-time address live…except the self-proclaimed Fair and Balanced Fox News.
How better to continue dumbing-down your audience than to censor what they see and hear that just might spoil their partisan delusion. Why give them another side of an issue? Why expose them to a radical/socialist/communist/fascist/terrorist like Obama, right? (can you actually be all of those things at the same time, as he’s been accused?) Wouldn’t the fair and balanced thing to do be to simply, well, be fair and balanced? To let your viewers see the speech and make up their own minds? Nah, that would spoil the fun and prevent despicable blatant liars like Fox’s Sean Hannity from deceiving its audience with its decidedly unfair and unbalanced reporting.
For example, on his program after Obama’s speech, Hannity, during an interview with Republican pollster/analyst Frank Luntz, said that Obama"said tonight that insurance company executives are bad people!" " But if Fox’s viewers had actually seen the speech, they’d know what the president actually said: "Insurance executives don’t treat their customers badly because they’re bad people; they do it because it’s profitable."
Like most Fox haters, Ostroy has revealed through his ignorant writing that he doesn’t watch Fox News. He’s most likely never watched Fox News.
Fox News carried the speech live while Fox broadcasting did not. The O’Reilly Factor aired immediately after the speech and included an interview with David Axelrod. Hannity aired after O’Reilly and he had Frank Luntz as a guest.
You can look for Ostroy’s incredibly stupid post to pull a disappearing act within the hour I predict. That’s okay though, I’ve already downloaded a complete screen capture in case memories get fuzzy.

Gawker Pretends To Be Relevant By Ambushing O’Reilly’s Ambusher
For the last couple of months Gawker.com has been obsessed with Bill O’Reilly’s ambush interviews.
O’Reilly likes to send one of his producers to confront cowardly public officials and left-wing journalists who refuse to appear on his show when they do outrageous things.
O’Reilly’s chief ambusher is Fox producer Jesse Watters. Watters has confronted all manner of people from judges to bloggers and everyone in between.
The idiots at Gawker decided to strike back at Watters and confront him at his home at 6 a.m. as he was leaving with his wife.
Watters simply smiled and got into his car and drove away. I’m guessing the douchebags at Gawker expected to feel some kind of sweet vindication by ambushing Watters, but the whole thing turned out pretty lame.
Gawker claims to have spent two months trying to ambush Watters, and this pathetic display is all they got out of it.
Next time you read about Gawker laying off some bloggers, it’ll be because they pissed away so much money on stunts like this.
Gawker’s hatred of Fox News and absolute devotion to Barack Obama has led the once semi-entertaining blog to become a gruesome left-wing tabloid.
Lefty Media In Love With Fox’s Shepard Smith
Normally the only thing directed towards Fox News by television media, print media, online media, or any other media are smears and attack pieces.
Recently however, the liberal media has found a Fox News hero and it’s Shepard Smith.
Comments he’s made over the last year or so and as recently as last week have earned him numerous glowing reviews in the NY Times, Esquire, and other liberal venues.
Liberals have love for Smith because some of his comments have been perceived as being antagonistic towards conservatives.
The truth is that Shepard Smith has more credibility in a single strand of his perfectly quaffed hair than Brian Williams has in his entire body.
What the left quickly forgets is that Shepard Smith has a history of incensing people on both sides of the aisle.
Here’s one of my personal favorite Shep clips. It’s from February of last year, and Smith rips into radical leftist kook Naomi Wolf.
Wolf is the author of possibly the craziest left-wing conspiracy book ever written called “The End Of America.”
Hey, what happened? I thought Shepard was a tool of the left? I thought he was all about attacking right-wingers? What the hell is going on in this crazy world?

Fox News: 83 Consecutive Months At #1
Here’s a little something to make the mindless Fox haters cry:
FNC has been the most-watched cable news channel for 83 consecutive months in both Total Day and prime time.
FNC was #3 in prime time and #4 in total day in all of basic cable. Fox News also retained the most viewership, post-election (Nov 4 vs. Nov. 5 – 30.) In Total day, FNC held 33% of its viewers, compared with 24% for MSNBC and 18% for CNN. In prime time, FNC retained 23% of viewers, MSNBC retained 19% and CNN held on to 10% of its Election Day audience.
Fox has also kept more of its viewers than the other networks — post election. Fox News is the best news channel on television. They have the best programming, the best talent, and the best coverage. All the crap about Fox being a “right wing network” is total BS.
The Pew Research Center’s Project For Excellence in Journalism released a study in October that clearly showed Fox News to be the most fair and balanced network — while MSNBC was the least.

Obama: Fox News Is Keeping My Poll Numbers Down
This is just too good to be true. I had to laugh out loud when I read this. Barack Obama says even though he’s ahead in the polls, he’s convinced he would be even further ahead if Fox News didn’t exist.
“I am convinced that if there were no Fox News, I might be two or three points higher in the polls,” Obama told me. “If I were watching Fox News, I wouldn’t vote for me, right? Because the way I’m portrayed 24/7 is as a freak! I am the latte-sipping, New York Times-reading, Volvo-driving, no-gun-owning, effete, politically correct, arrogant liberal. Who wants somebody like that?
“I guess the point I’m making,” he went on, “is that there is an entire industry now, an entire apparatus, designed to perpetuate this cultural schism, and it’s powerful. People want to know that you’re fighting for them, that you get them. And I actually think I do. But you know, if people are just seeing me in sound bites, they’re not going to discover that. That’s why I say that some of that may have to happen after the election, when they get to know you.”
What he’s saying is that the only thing standing between him and total media message control is Fox News. If Fox would just jump in the tank with the rest of the media he would have this thing wrapped up! Sorry Barry, some people actually give a shit about the truth.
Thank God for Fox News.

Pew Survey: Fox News Audience Much More Balanced
A new Pew poll completely smashes the narrative that far-left cretins have been pushing about Fox News. You constantly hear from the left that Fox News is a “right-wing propaganda outfit” and that only Republicans watch it. Clear thinking Americans have always known that to be nonsense, and a brand new Pew survey proves it.
Their annual survey of cable news audiences now shows:
- FNC: 39% Republican, 33% Democratic, 22% Independent
- CNN: 18% Republican, 51% Democratic, 23% Independent
- MSNBC: 18% Republican, 45% Democratic, 27% Independent
So when Fox News claims to be “Fair and Balanced” that apparently also extends to their audience. Does this mean that since it’s mostly Democrats who watch CNN and MSNBC that those channels are “left-wing propaganda outfits?”
Rapper Nas Leads Protest Of Fox News, Calls Network Racist
Rapper Nas led a rather humorous protest in front of Fox News headquarters today. TV Newser among others was there to get in on the action.
The hip-hop star joined about 50 protesters, (less than another anti-FNC protest in 2004) from two organizations: ColorofChange.org and MoveOn.org who called on the network to, “stop its racist smears against the Obamas and other Black Americans.”
The protesters stood quietly for about an hour until Nas appeared, most holding pre-made or hand-made signs. Many Fox News employees came to check out the scene, including Red Eye host Greg Gutfeld and some of the show’s staff. “This is quite possibly the most boring protest ever,” he told us.
But that was before Nas arrived. The hip-hop star emerged from an SUV to a flutter of cameras, made his way to the front of the protesters and gave a short speech, before heading back into the SUV.
Nas’s charge of racism seems oddly timed considering he’s currently promoting his new album called “Nigger.” I’m guessing he missed the irony of the album title as well as his unique fashion choices recently.
