GOP Blasts Obama for Fox News Snub

President will appear on every other network Sunday

By Kevin Spak| Posted Sep 17, 09 12:53 PM CDT|

(Newser) – Republican lawmakers are peeved because President Obama is—try not to laugh—snubbing Fox News. Obama will appear on every political Sunday talk show this week, except Fox News Sunday. “If people are going to be on the Sunday talk shows, they should be on all of them,” opined Joe Wilson, who last week talked to Fox News Sunday, and only Fox News Sunday. He also interrupted Obama's address to a joint session of Congress—which only Fox, among the major networks, declined to air.

Pete Sessions of Texas said Obama had “handpicked” his audience, while Louisiana’s Steve Scalise accused him of “ignoring a very large segment of this country.” “I think that Fox News would ask some realistic questions,” said Sessions. “He’s the one who’s choosing not to take part in that.” Democrats saw no problem with the snub—one New York rep said Obama obviously knew “which networks are really fair.”

If you do the opposite of what Joe Wilson says to do, you'll be fine. Isn't he an amazing jerk? Says, “If people are going to be on the Sunday talk shows, they should be on all of them,” and then he appears on only one. Fox, of course. Is Fox a legit news channel? Probably reader..089 is right, its a niche outlet like Comedy Channel. I don't know why the MSM reports on it at all.

Fox's audience is afraid to change the channel. After all, they don't want socialized airways or telecasts, so THEY only pay Fox for broadcasting material and content, and ONLY support the sponsors that exclusively advertise on Fox. Morons!!!

And that's why no one should make a big deal if FOX or ANY network doesn't choose to air the press conferences. As long as they are on PBS anyone who wants to see them will have the opportunity to do so. And next to the STUPIDLY remark and the JACKASS remark, this is my third favorite Obama decision so far. Now, let's hope that on LENO he doesn't make another SPECIAL OLYMPICS gaffe! (Just kidding! I wish I could make my avatar give thumbs up on this one.)

The most offensive thing to me about all this is that Joe Wilson is suddenly among the stars of the Republican party. What has he done to deserve that? Has he given the party a new strategy that will help it win over the hearts and minds of a majority of Americans? Has he clearly and articulately stated the Republicans' opposition to the Democrats plans, while offering a viable alternative? Has he done ANYTHING constructive? No. He acted out like an impulsive 4th grader. Reply

Obama calls several americans who are opposed to his policies "liars" one guy stands up and says that one of the claims being made is false and the whole nation goes into an uproar about a president being interupeted in a "these people are liars speach" the death panel rhetoric was taken out aug 17 of this year. so when the opposition said the speach included death panels they weren't lying, but it's been removed so now Obama isn't lying. The republicans have been trying to add language that would force anyone recieving care to prove thier american status since the begining and it had been shot down 4 times until Joe Wilson stood up in opposition. I'm not one to do all the research for you but check it out for yourself Google

If you understand the bias of the network, whether right or left, an intelligent person can watch anything and wade through the bias for the facts. All news is biased...there's always a position or viewpoint being taken. If they interview 20 people on the street, which 2 are they going to pick for the broadcast? Anytime the human element is present, there is bias. But if you believe YOUR new source is not biased...you must also believe sound bites are the only facts you need to know.

The issue isn't whether or not the President goes on Fox. He knows that he would be ambushed and it wouldn't be a really fair interview. Also I do have to agree even though Fox News showed the Presidents, the major network didn't. Since they didn't feel obligated to show his speech why would he go on there Sunday show, to give people soundbites. The only thing is and the ratings show that Fox even though not liked by the left is a major player in cable news. In this day and age of 24/7 info they are the network being watched the most, so to simply dismiss them as a niche or comedy act is not very smart. I am sure that when The Daily Show started people had the same opinion, at least those on the right, and look where it is now. Last I saw John Stewart was voted the most trusted man in America. In the end it isn't going to hurt the President for not going on Fox. Reply

@dawgs, That was a voluntary online poll on Time.com that voted John Stewart the most trusted journalist from a list of broadcast and cable news anchors. Voluntary online polls aren't at all useful. I agree with the rest of your post. Fox, despite my misgivings about their intentions and my objections to their methods, cannot easily be dismissed. They have seriously amped up the hatred among die-hard Republicans for the Democrats.

republicans think we're very stupid and I think we are. Nobody objected to the Bush/Cheney foreign and domestic atrocities. We just sat on our hands and got lied to and if we got out of line B/C just changed the terror color code, went "booga, booga, booga!" and we ran off whimpering. And we'll probably elect another Republican to lower taxes on the pathetic rich whom we bailed out....We ARE stupid

"LMAO. How STUPID do Republicans really think we are" /sigh. Stupid enough to not know the facts & believe everything you read in a biased article. The Fox network did air Obamas speech. They aired it on regular Fox during prime time, which has many more viewers, affiliates, and market saturation. The author of this article is wrong, or purposely misleading you to feed your bias and make their argument sound better.

Why validate a network that has cheered for The President to fail, give soft-ball interviews to Cheney & act like a shopping channel that only sells one brand? Reply

Bush was not very persent on ANY news or TV venues--except that morning on 9/11 when he sat speechless in a classroom. He certainly didn't do the news talk shows or Dave Letterman....Never an unrehearsed moment. Why would ANYONE go on Fox to be dissed? Reply

He generally spoke to captive audiences. Military ones. Hand picked audiences.

Why should he be on Fox? You aren't going to reach the audience that will even remotely consider anything that he says anyway. It isn't like Fox has cared about their presentation of shows against Obama. Reply

So Fox News isn't going to have his honors speech. Who cares we hear him everyday campaigning for his frightening policies elsewhere and on Fox. I don't have to hear another one. Fox News has the best chanel more of the people he is trying to reach will be listening to Fox He is supposed to be such a genius why hasn't he figured that one out? Let's not tell him. Reply

My goal has been to watch everything President Obama does during this watershed period in America's history and since I won't watch FOX News, obviously, I won't miss out on my goal! Thank you President Obama for not catering to idiots. Reply

This article lies. "Obama's address to a joint session of Congress—which only Fox, among the major networks, declined to air. " It was shown on the Fox network, just not Fox News. Why would they broadcast it on all of their channels? That's like CNN & CNN headline news. Reply

GOP, it's really not in your interest to fight for Fox news. That only reinforces the stereotype you both share pillow talk. Just saying, is all. Reply

Personally I think Fox is getting so much flack because they make since! They are trying to inform America and help us to see that this administration is not working for us, but another way for the Government to take control......PEOPLE WAKE UP....before it is too late. Reply
