[img]1|left|||no_popup[/img]When Swish Obama, his rabbit ears flapping in the wind, announces with his favorite stony expression, nearly daily, that he is nettled by “cable television’s” unfair coverage of him, it is commonly assumed our Dear Leader awkwardly is using code language for the Fox News Channel.
With his vaunted but fragile communication skills deteriorating faster than his descending popularity ratings, there is the matter of Mr. Obama’s credibility. It is melting at a swifter pace than Foxy Waxy’s climate change scam.
Since two of the three cable news networks have taken a vow of journalistic chastity — to never speak illy of the President, Mad Michelle or any of Swish’s acolytes — the President only can be aiming his bucolic barbs at Fox News.
After 2 1/2 years of breathless media coverage, Mr. Obama, not nearly as cerebral as advertised, has not accepted a fundamental precept of contemporary public life:
By miles, Fox is the only objective network on either side of the television divide, cable or broadcast.
Fox is the single channel that fairly, without favor, reports national and global developments, and about personalities. If CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS took as balanced of an approach, the present level of chaos and strife ravaging our country would be severely reduced.
President Used to be Untouchable
When Mr. Obama was living among his shady friends in Chicago, where members of the Democrat Party are the American answer to the sacred cows of India, ol’ Swish never worried about any journalist or television employee of stature contradicting him.
Fox News in the evening is sweeping America. Mr. Obama probably should hop on board or risk getting run down.
Look at the cable news ratings for this past Monday night, a random evening:
1. Fox News, O’Reilly, 3,440,000 viewers
2. Fox News, Hannity, 2, 937,000
3. Fox News, Beck, 2,810,000
4. Fox News, Greta, 2.450,000
5. Fox News, Baier, 2,066,000
6. Fox News, Shep, 1,860,000
7. MSNBC, Olbermann, 1,114,000
8. CNN, King, 1,063,000
9. MSNBC, Maddow, 885,000
10. CNN, Cooper, 827,000
11. MSNBC, Hardball, 640,000
It appears to me that Americans are rewarding fair reporting.
What a wall-to-wall rejection of men and women who aren’t tall enough to see over the top of the wall of bias that their networks have built around them.
But ordinary Americans can tell the difference between Fox and their one-note, blame-anybody-but-Obama reporting.
They are telling the wannabees on the other cable networks that they don’t want partisans playing the same childish, one-note script every night — I love Obama, I hate all Republicans.
Matthews, Olberman, Maddow, the low-key but very partial Anderson Cooper and his fellow yippies at CNN should be smart enough to interpret the ratings as a sign of shtick that has failed.
But if they were as smart as they tell us they are, they would not have ceded a monopoly of No. 1 through No. 6 to fair and balanced Fox every night.
You should listen up, boys, the way the rest of America is.
