Circa 2009: 'Don't Pretend' Fox News Is a 'Legitimate News Organization' -Obama White House
Obama's White House, 2009: 'Don't Pretend' Fox News Is a 'Legitimate News Organization'
Donald Trump refused to take a question from CNN reporter Jim Acosta today, labeling Acosta's employer as "fake news." Since then, mainstream media and celebrities are hyperventilating over Trump as if he bears the same viciously totalitarian impulses as, say, Fidel Castro -- and that Trump is SCARY and GOING TO GET THEM.
As comforting as tweeting one's victimhood status to millions appears to be to today's left -- and as ironic as exercising one's free speech to millions via Twitter to claim the death of the First Amendment is to everyone else -- this reactionary response sure doesn't look good for the left in terms of ideological consistency.
please, link us to exactly who at Fox was prevented from asking a question at a major news conference. Otherwise, you might risk being seen as perpetuating the same false equivalency that got the nation into this mess.

thanks, Grendel. From one of your links:
"That means Obama has called on each of the Big 3 networks at approximately twice the rate as FOX, although only slightly more on fellow cable network CNN." So, once again, we take a discrepancy, and no blackout of major press conferences of anything REMOTELY close to the pointed nature here, and never lying about the reason. More false equivalency, which is where disinformation breeds.

Perhaps Obama didn't like talking to a network who's personalities or managers tend to push a little sexual harassment upon their female employees? So THAT's why Fox News likes all those blonde bombshells. Internal entertainment.
Yes, God forbid journalists be properly vetted and held to actual editorial standards, instead of being random schmucks spewing whatecer bull★■◆● crosses their mind!
