The Bickersons*: President Obama and Fox News

Political Cartoons by Lisa Benson
Obama's fatuous claim of Fox News 'unfairness' to him   "Boo-hoo, President Obama thinks Fox News is "unfair" to him, but when challenged for examples, all he could cite was asking questions about difficult subjects.

"This was revealed in the most interesting segment of Bill O'Reilly's taped interview with President Obama, aired for the first time last night on the O'Reilly Factor (the first 15 minutes of the interview were broadcast live prior to the Super Bowl).

"Here is the relevant section of the transcript:..."
Obama to O'Reilly: Fox News Reason for My Problems!  "President Barack Obama twice blamed Fox News Channel for misinforming the public on issues that have bedeviled his presidency in the past year during a pre-Super Bowl interview with the network's Bill O'Reilly."

NBC News: Obama says Fox News's O'Reilly 'absolutely' unfair in extended interview  "President Barack Obama said that he is “in a lot of ways” less liberal than former Republican President Richard Nixon and said Fox News Channel's Bill O’Reilly has been “absolutely” unfair to him throughout his presidency in an interview that aired Monday night. "

O’Reilly: Obama Annoyed with Fox Because He Doesn’t Think IRS, Benghazi ‘That Important’    Video

Krauthammer’s Take: Obama ‘Continuing a Successful Stonewall’ on Benghazi

 
"President Obama’s repeated efforts to dismiss lingering questions about the Benghazi attacks has been his strategy from the beginning, Charles Krauthammer said on Monday’s Special Report. During his pre-Super Bowl interview, the president did not directly answer some of Bill O’Reilly’s questions on the matter, as he has all along."
 

"GASPARINO: I think he’s also talking to the mainstream media. I think this whole thing of bringing up Fox is basically to try and convince The New York Times and all the rest of the media that, you know, ‘ignore those kooks over there. You know, listen to me,’ and you know, in some –  this does resonate among reporters. I can tell you as someone who worked, I worked at the alleged, you know, I worked at The Wall Street Journal pre-News Corp buying it, I worked at Newsweek magazine – you couldn’t get any more liberal, more mainstream-media liberal than that. This is a common thread among my reporter brethren. It’s fascinating – they don’t see their own biases, they just see ours."
