Fox News Starts “The Obama Watch”

What is the Fox News Network?
Faux News.
Might as well read the National Enquirer.

Guess if Senator Obama wants to reach the largest audience FOX is the answer.

Sorry, Fox has had the least biased, aka the most journalistically neutral coverage of this nomination.

Maybe FOX can report about the lies being told about Obama’s church. Like, the “reporter” who says he was there on July 22, when in fact he was on his way to a campaign appearance.
Of course, lies don’t matter to Republicans. Maybe FOX can report about how Kristol needs to retract his NYT column?
I’m guessing the Obama hater crowd here didn’t bother to check their facts either. No surprise.

Sen Obama should appear on ALL of the news networks… which doesn’t include Faux News which is blatantly a wing of the Republican Party. People are starting to catch on to the Faux News agenda which is why its ratings are going down. It’s about time!

You know, I don’t care for Fox news but if Obama is the poster boy for the “uniter” and no more ” bipartisanship” don’t you think him refusing to go on Fox is a reflection of being divisive? I don’t want anyone to respond…we all have our opinions…I just want you all to think.

I agree that Fox news has been least bias when covering these elections. (by the way, NBC is the worst) For a long time nobody else wanted to question anything Obama said except for Fox. It’s quite telling isn’t it…
Of course Obama doesn’t want talk to Fox. They would propably ask him some tough questions he doesn’t want to asnwer. Like how come you went to that church for 20 years and still claim to be totally unaware of all that anti-american rhetoric they preach…

All Democrats need to come on FOX, because, they like it or not, more people watch FOX than CNN or MSNBC. Plus, FOX’s debates have been much fairer and objective, with harsh questions to all GOP candidates unlike MSNBC which asks Clinton the questions and that asks Obama to respond to those statements.

Can anyone say there is going to be a USA should the markets fail? There could be a shadow of what the USA once was and if so, who is better to govern it. The people running for office and those they pick for various positions had better be well schooled in the ways of the world markets and politics!!!!!
“Hillary Is Best Suted By Far”

Of course I am going to respond…
Obama was on Fox the night before that report.
…and did you notice that the FOX network has gone from a biased news source to “Rev. 30 second loop TV”
Yeah they want to face obama in the fall…not.
but you think he should go on Fox while calming America from this racial uproar, defending agaisnt all the bull coming from the Clinton campaign and pointing out that no one is focusing on the fact that John McCain is doing a campaign tour of a country whose surge – of military force to set up their political structure is working to lower violence but not to set up their political structure – that campaign tour is being paid for by you. The taxpayer not McCain’s campaign.
Because people like FOX want Obama out of this race before the general.
Meanwhile we have flip-flopping Clinton saying she has a plan to correct the mistake she didn’t make and McCain saying lets keep this hole in our deficit flowing while you all may be selling whatever you can to keep a roof over your head.
“Obama not going on Fox…I mean “all Reverend…All Hillary for Dem Nominee -TV” – c’mon.

NEWS FLASH: New York TImes retracts Kristol column based on lies.
Kristol’s column has been removed from the website. Look for a retraction editorial soon. Look for the Obama haters to apologize (not).
Ah, the sweet sound of Republican lies imploding.
Of course, the Obama haters here will continue Kristol’s stupid line of argument. But, those of us with jobs or lives needn’t pay further attention.

FOX news has actually become quite moderate! I am really pleased that their executives decided to lighten up the Tilt to right crap. Hannity has been very pleasent and Colmbes actually has a spine. As for Billo… I dont get his deal, why when their is a tornado in Atlanta GA, does his talking points revolve around some radical professor in BFE montana?
Good Job FOX, I actually have started to balance my diet of News with your channel. As you know to the left is CNN, the right is Fox and in the middle seems to be MSNBC! hmmmm!

AFRICAN AMERICAN!LISTEN,if he(obama)turn
his back on Rev.Wright and denounce him
after 20 years a parishioner,what will
he do too you? Its like JFK DENOUNCING
the POPE and turning his back on HIS
church after all those years.
WAKE UP AFRICAN AMERICAN and THINK!!!

Is Faux News any different from Al-Jazeera?

westcoast messenger
“it doesn’t mean the evidence is not there…it just means that it hasn’t been revealed”
…do you know who Jim Davis is…this reporter who freelanced for Newsmax who wrote the story… who said he saw Obama in the church…because I don’t but since there are no other witnesses and News max is still pushing the story… maybe somebody should find out
I can’t seem to find another story written by him anywhere.
can somebody help me

Why would any democrat or liberal/progressive minded politician ever consider giving Fox News the time of day. Fox News has repeatedly stepped over the line from objective news to a propoganda/ hate feuling talking pundit machine. They should be ignored by anyone who considers the conveyance of real and important world and national issues.

Come on now, wasn’t Roger Ailes chairman of the Republican party a few years ago? Fox News has a target market and message that works for their purposes….it is not fair and balanced, as they proclaim. The most objective discussions have been and will probably be on PBS…they do present both sides and always remain civil….what a concept, civility and respect for others……maybe one day it will spread!
Fox does a good job with football….maybe those guys could start covering politics for them!

All three stories cited by FOX news including the NY times are still up and can still be linked to.
No problem, no retraction.
AS I have said, the secret service can easily release dates that Mr. Obama went to church at the demand of news agencies probably under the freedom of informaton act.
I suggest someone do so.

Chris Wallace is just hitching his wagon to the Obama train. Nothing more than that.

I wonder how many tapes Fox news has and for how long they have been buying them?

Geraldine – FYI Obama got his campaign slogan from this minister! And so what about his parents, that means nothing!

Although I am not a fan of FOX, I think they have been more fair about Clinton/Obama. We know CNN and MSNBC have given Obama a total pass. If it was Clinton’s Rev. that has said hateful things, it would still be all over the media today. CNN has Bill Clinton accuses media of a mugging, he got that right.

Again , who is Jim Davis? This report is from a “freelance reporter” for Newsmax.
I can’t find another story by him anywhere.

I think the reverend is dispicable in these statements but I have not seen 2 things…
1. an apology from him for these statements and yes no matter what good he did the community he needs to apologize for these statements…(I don’t care what context they were in)
2. I want to see all these other uplifting (love your white neighbor, respect women, and America is a great country…could they just show one clip iof him saying America was a great country…is that so hard) speeches that he gave that would counterbalance this.
having said that there is an economy plunging and a war that is going t0o add to that plunging economy.

So did we find the video evidence on Obama yet? Where are the Secret Service details on his whereabouts on those sermon dates???? ….If those were to come out, we would also know how often Obama met his Crazy Real-Estate Uncle(Rezko)…

Sounds more like Hillary Clinton in Iowa to me! lol

I dont think having collaborated evidence of his attendance at any questionable sermons is going to change pulic opinion. Any thinking person can already conclude that it is unlikely he did not know and therefore it is likely he lied based on all of the other evidence, ie. previous legitimate news articles where he and Wright and planned or acknowledged Wright may have to be hidden or dropped from the campaign.
Let’s assume he was never present (most likely intentional by Wright and Farrakahn since Farrakahn said Obama has been groomed), I think most people can make a good case for assuming 1) Michelle told him 2) daughter asked him about it 3) Oprah told him (she left because Wright was too extreme several years ago) 4) Wright told him (as evidenced in quotes in legitimate news interviews) 5) other people in the congregation or community told him. I just do not believe he did not know and therefore conclude he lied about not knowing. I also conclude he used and continues to use poor judgement exposing his children to black separatism. I further conclude his response has been purely politically convenient. So for me this is a huge deal breaker based on poor judgement, questionable values, and lack of credibility.
This mornings poll tells us most people overwhelmingly disapprove of Wright. Time will tell if this has permanently damaged him enough to lose the nomination. If he gets the nom, the reps will use this as his nail in the coffin.

Didn’t Obama do an interview on Fox News Friday night?
The answer, of course, is “yes”.

It’s hard to believe that Senator Obama doesn’t know what his minister has been saying regarding the United States and white Americans. The clip that was shown on television of Wright preaching from the pulpit was a message of hate against the USA and white Americans. I certainly hope that Senator Obama will come out with a stronger message against what Wright said. Senator Obama and his wife have been members of his congreation for years..I thought Senaor Obama was for hope, but now I don’t believe he is and I will not vote for him. Senator John McCain has shown how much he loves our country and when you love your country as much as he does then you will always do what is best for all her citizens. To me, Senator McCain stands head and shoulders above Senators Obama and Clinton.

None of the presidential candidates have to appear on any network. But, like it or not, the Fox News Network reaches more viewers than any other network.
Ignoring the competition is not a sign of a competent disagreement. Rather, such behavior is a sure ticket to a loss.
Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.
Head in the sand just doesn’t get it done.

CNN reported on housing, your job, debt, stock market, saving, food, gas, job loss, education, training, credit card, balance budget, financial IQ, foreclosure campground, and economic change. Advice everyday people need.
Did Congress use good judgment with a yes vote for this war? What about the OIL in IRAQ and will America have part ownership? Have John McCain been consistent in supporting this war?
Should FOX news report on racism in all American Churches?
What church teach male and female intermarriage is a sin?
Will FOX news do a report on the history of all the United States Presidents and their Ministers sermons?
What about the sermons of the Ministers who teach the Unites States Congress, and United States Senate? Will FOX news report on this? LEADERS OF THE PEOPLE
Did the United States Churches have racism in the eighteen hundreds and now ?
Who is this Person born of an intermarriage, seeking to become President of the United States of America, has a vision for the American People?
This person appears to understand the problems of the American People and giving a vision of hope.
This Person has a greater purpose outside of the Church.
This person has chosen to be a united people regardless of what the Church teach. Maybe GOD designed him for this reason. To unite in change and so far he has shown the ability to unite people. Many thousands of people have gather on his behalf. When he spoke in Iowa it was powerful for me to see this change in the United States. Some leaders, news reporters, pastors, people want to keep the thinking of eighteen hundreds racism, however, the American voters in Iowa want a change from the past. The power to change belong to the American People and no one can take this away.
QUESTIONS TO ANDERSON COOPER, LOU, LARRY KING, MSNBC, FOX NEWS AND OTHERS.
Who is Stanley Dunham and what did he do to shape this person life? Do Stanley Dunham grandson look like Him?
Who is Madelyn Dunham? Did she predict that her Grandson would someday run for President of the United States of America? This person mother had a bad experience with the health care system. Who is this Person?

I really dislike Fox News….but to be honest with the mainstream media burying all the Obama related news for so long….and spending so much time and energy bashing Hillary it has forced Fox into becoming a little more centrist.
MSNBC is as bad as Fox these days.
Look if Obama is the nominee I may end up voting McCain…naw I doubt that one. I guess worse case I just won’t vote in November. I’m going to tell you I live in Texas and I really believe that Hillary could have turned us blue///pipe dream?

It wasn’t just Fox & Friends. It was also John Gibson of The Big Story:

FOX news isn’t the voice of Americans.
What is fair?
RESPECT IS IMPORTANT
Racism has been spoken in pastors sermons to several Presidents, Presidents hopefuls, Congress, and Senators for years. Racism was spoken in churches before eighteen hundreds and still today.
Do we need video evidence?
People are ready to change regardless of who wrote the speech, regardless of media reports, regardless of relationships and regardless of pastors.
People have a right to accept or reject Pastor’s advice. NEXT POST
Iowa voted for Change.

One Bishop told a small child he will never be saved. God proved this Bishop to be wrong. When this child became older this Bishop asked the man to forgive Him.
IOWA VOTED FOR CHANGE
We need:
Economic change
Job prosperity
Trade talks
War

How desperate the Clinton camp has become. My parish priest was a mentor for many years. Only later did I find out that he had been molesting altar boys. Should I forget all the things he taught me about Jesus, about being good to others and caring about the poor? Hell no.
I reject his actions but will always remember the good advice and teachings he bestowed on others.
Obama hit it right on the nose. He loves the guidance he received but, rejects some of the crazy things he said, like a crazy uncle you still love.

Ghoastrider:
Did you mean “some of that hate speach has ‘Rubbed off’ not ‘worn off on him.’”?

I listened to Obama’s speech today. First on Friday, He never heard Rev Wright espouse these racial words. Today he said yes he heard them.So which should we take in consideration to make up our minds on how Obama really feels. Does he hate us as much as he minister. I have never heard a minister or priest speak such hatred towards Americans. Rev Wrights sermons may explain why Mrs Obama is just now proud to be American. Maybe she should have been proud when America helped pay for her College education. I sure didn’t get a free ride and I don’t hate other people. We all have to take responsibility for what we do, including black people. What will Obama do now. I know, he have Rev Sharpton protest, march, etc because Obama listened for 20 years to a racist minister.

fox news is just interested in smashing OBAMA’S chances at winning. NO MATTER who the dem’s put out there it will get ugly. OH yea that the Rep”s were not the crazy about Mccain what happen to quiet them down.

Racism started before eighteen hundreds. Have congress, Senators, and this present Republican party put racism to rest? Have Americans been deceived?
Have FOX NEWS put racism to rest? Can FOX NEWS put to rest racism in America? Will Fox news distance itself from America or will FOX NEWS work to bring about a change.
Racism is an American problem.
Major G. and Other people at Fox News will you change racism in America by separating and denouncing America?
Will Hillary, Obama, or McCain change America by denouncing America?
Will Governors, Congress, Senators, and American Leaders denounce a church because it has been reported that over the last 20 years it has drawn some very sharp lines against civil rights? ( this is not the church in the city of Chicago)
Who is the Republican American Senator that dislike a person because of a name. Will the American Government separate and denounce this Republican Senator?
Racism is a Republican and Demarcated problem. Racism is an American problem.
Can America put racism to rest?
Can American bring about an economic change?
America has over a hundred years of healing which need to take place.
CAN FOX NEWS BE A BETTER PART OF THAT HEALING? Will FOX NEWS use racism to separate or will FOX NEWS go beyond?
Where are the jobs which was promised to the people in Upstate New York? Should words match our actions?
Who designed NAFTA, CAFTA and others? America need better Trade talks!
Past leadership and past thinking has placed Americans in this present position.
America need to see all tax returns.
If you see this election as history making for a woman, or the words black. You are wrong. This is a United Stated States of America so don’t try to separate the people.
This is an election about:
A yes vote for this war ( ABOUT ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTY FIVE THOUSAND AMERICANS ARE FIGHTING THIS WAR) HOW MANY AMERICANS HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THIs WAR? HOW MANY MORE WILL DIE?–America have a war committee now let us elect a new President.
Economic Change
Safety in America
OIL IN IRA
Gas prices
job prosperity
Trade talks
Housing (foreclosure campground)
Education–Financial IQ
THIRD CULTURE THINKING VOTED FOR CHANGE
THIRD CULTURE THINKERS WILL PROSPER
What will help America?
IOWA VOTED FOR CHANGE

It’s so arrogant of Chris Wallace to feature a countdown/demand for an appearance.
I watched a 4-member panel on Chris Wallace last Sunday wherein not ONE comment happened which gave Barack Obama any benefit of doubt. It was all negative, demeaning, cruel. And especially on the part of Juan Williams from whom I have noticed an abiding dislike of Barack Obama – never have I seen Juan go on the offensive against any democrat, having heard him defend democrats to an almost ludicrous degree.
So, Chris Wallace – when you and your panel can be fair and balanced like you claim, present both sides of a story, then maybe YOUR program will deserve to have a countdown.
Until then, you dont.

Why won’t FOX News give Obama speech the same air play like they gave his former pastor speech?

BECAUSE HE WASNT SITTING IN THE CHURCH MAKES HIM A BETTER PERSON, YOU REALLY BELIVE THAT, I WISH I WAS THE CAR SALESMAN THAT SOLD IT TO YOU. HE COULDNT EVEN WASH THE AMERICAN FLAG LESS HONER IT.

YES YOU HAVE IM GONE GOD BLESS YOU ALL THANKS USMC

IM GLAD I HAVE TIME TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, SURE AM ANGRY WHEN I PUT MY LIFE ON THE LINE FOR AMERICA WHILE YOUR AT HOME WATCHING MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, AND WHEN PEOPLE WONT SALUTE OUR FLAG THAT MANY OF MY FRIENDS HAVE DIED FOR, MY ENTIRE FAMILY HAS FOUGHT FOR THIS COUNTRY, DO YOU THINK OBAMA WOULD DO THE SAME, , AND IM SURE YOU WOULDNT ETHER, TALK IS CHEAP.

THOMAS I SORRY IF I CAME ACOSS IN A BAD WAY, I JUST WANT THE BEST FOR OUR COUNTRY, SIR HAVE A GOOD NIGHT, THANKS USMC

I never thought I would see the day that I would watch Fox news because it was more objective with the campaign. I too am boycotting MSNBC and I hope others will join me. Thank you Fox news for questioning Obama and not trashing Hillary.

I too never thought I would be relying on FOX NEWS for political truths. I have come to realize that while I may not always agree with the reporters they do at least report the facts and invite differing opinions on the show. I have decided to boycott CNN & especially MSNBC.

Good for Obama for the honesty and integrity of his speech today was a breath of fresh air. Former Politicians would have never attempted something so authentic.

I am really very disheartened by a country that chooses a candidate based on what that candidate’s pastor says and not what the candidate has said. Those who didn’t hear the truth in Obama’s speech today were never going to vote for him in the first place.
Peace

I am beginning to think that Obama has been groomed and politically positioned by the movers and the shakers in the black community, and the “Black Church”, as it’s called. There is something about Obama’s sudden rise to the top of the political heap, and his instant celebrity status, that has seemed odd to me. He hasn’t been in politics long enough to pay his dues (although he’s certainly beginning to pay them now). The nation hasn’t gotten a chance to really get to know him; he hasn’t been in the public eye for more than a few years. Yet here he is, a serious contender for the presidency. The fact that Obama didn’t long ago sever ties with the Black Church and his extremist pastor, and the fact that he still won’t sever ties…would make a lot of sense if he owed the leaders of that organization big time for getting him to where he is now.

Obama made an elequent speech but made significant mistakes. Equating his grandmother and even implying she caused him more discomfort than the preacher who raised him to the hate mongering preacher showed a significant lack of maturity and moral perspective. Obama tried to justify that black people have a right to feel about America as the preacher outlines in his outrageous claims. In my generation, blacks along with other minorities got the nod for jobs ahead of whites and black students in the same school as my kids got lower grades but were given scholarships ahead of white students who had far superior grades. These are the current realities. The black community who wants to point back to past generations who were slaves are looking to grind an axe. There are no blacks in America who were slaves or know anyone who was. Most of us have slave ancesstors white or black if our history is tracked back far enough. Obama is correct about wanting to move forward but defends his preacher and a church who distributes the kind of hatred and misinformation during his campaign. If a white preacher made comments like Obama’s preacher made, the Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton types would be shouting foul from the roof tops. But black leaders are saying that this preacher’s comments were ok given the black context and the black experience. If the black church is selling tapes of this preachers hate mongering then this church is promoting hatred and making the race divide wider and if Obama still belongs to this church then he is part of the behavior. Obama at the least has shown that he lacks the maturity to lead a nation when he continues to participate in be aligned with a church that has these views.

Senator Obama’s speech was brilliant but those that are prejudice will probably not understand it anyway. Cut the guy some slack will ya? He explaned the race problems from both sides and how differently it is preceived by people of different generations while denouncing Rev Wright’s ignorant statements. Lets get back to the issues that need addressing by these candidates and how they plan to improve the problems Americans are facing today. Enough about race already, we are better than this.

I am appalled at the continuing hate speech from Sean Hannity regarding Barack Obama and his pastor. No mention of his chosen candidate, John McCain, standing proudly next to Minister John Hegey while being endorsed by him. Minister Hegey, who refers to the Catholic Church (I believe Hannity’s church) as the “great whore” and the “antichrist.” Any calls to McCain to denounce Minister Hegey? Sean Hannity wants Obama to leave his church immediately or be tainted with all the views of his pastor. What about his church? Shouldn’t he leave it immediately because of some of the actions of the Catholic clergy that have come to light? If he remains a Catholic, is he condoning sexual abuse of children? Let’s be fair. Obama has a right to his faith and to worship wherever he chooses. That does not mean that he agrees with everything preached at his church, and neither does Sean Hannity’s attendance at a Catholic church mean he agrees with all the actions of his clergy.
