Fox new, like all networks, has a news division as well as opinion shows. The news division is indeed a news organization.

Example? do you mean trying to disrupt a hostile nation by false information? do you support Obama's socialist agenda?

It has become quiet transparent that there are a bunch of Commies in our government. With people from CAIR to advise them too.

Fact is Ramboo, Fox is telling what Obama and company don't want the people to know about them. Be glad we have Fox which is not sold out like the other news networks
Sure it's a news show but they speak the truth where as the others speak with forked tongue.

Kelley Boggs in the news today:
"Of the five networks that make up the White House press pool, Fox News has by far the most conservative editorial content. As a result, the White House is under constant scrutiny and criticism by the hosts of editorial programs like Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and Glen Beck. On the news front, Fox News tries as hard has any news organization to report the facts of every situation or event, seeking to live up to another of its catch phrases, "We report, you decide."

It appears that the White House simply does not like the treatment it receives from the editorial watchdogs at Fox News. I can sympathize. Who wants to be constantly questioned and criticized? However, public scrutiny is part of the price one must pay as an elected official in the United States.

America's Founders understood that good government is possible only when leaders are held to account for their decisions. Accountability is only possible when citizens are kept informed of the government's activity. And the primary reporter of government performance is the press.

Leadership that is unwilling to be accountable, face tough questions and endure criticism is leadership that cannot be trusted. America's Founding Fathers understood this well. Hence, with the First Amendment they ensured that the press would be free to report and editorialize on the actions of the government.

The Constitution is the foundation of not only our liberties, also our democratic republic."

Pretty much sums it up......does it not ?

I guess the eight year long trampling that GWB took from all the major news networks means nothing now. I wonder how the world would have reacted if GWB tossed CNN out of the press room... or NBC or CBS
