White House: Fox is 'opinion journalism masquerading as news'

The Obama White House is ramping up its offensive against Fox News...

...Over the past month, that discontent has translated into an all-out war against Fox. Last month, Obama notably skipped a sitdown with Fox as he plugged his health care bill in one-on-one interviews on every other major news network. Earlier this month, the White House published a rare blog post directly attacking a news organization, slamming Fox for its "disregard for the facts" and pointing readers to an independent fact-checking organization that had debunked "more Fox lies."

Now, White House Communications Director Anita Dunn is questioning whether Fox is in the news business at all. "It's opinion journalism masquerading as news," she told Time of the news network, in an interview released Thursday. Dunn also made it clear this won't be the last White House blast aimed at the network: "They are boosting their audience. But that doesn't mean we are going to sit back."

First, do they honestly think Fox is the only news outlet that's 'opinion journalism masquerading as news'...I guess since it's not their opinion they have a problem with it.

But more importantly, why is the White House spending time, effort, and resources to attack Fox News? Don't they have important things to deal with? Just another example of Obama being more worried about looking good and public perception than actually doing his job.

Wow. It really worries me that this administration will stop at nothing to hide the truth. Makes you wonder what else they are hiding. The good news is that Obama and the far left are alienating themselves from the rest of the country. The majority of the country is becoming "Far Right" by The media/Left's standards. Its funny that the Peace Prize Winner's biggest accomplishment will be how far he divides this country.

Seems like a fair accusation to me considering the Obama administration is masquerading as competent, trustworthy governmental leaders.......

Journalism as a whole is opinionated. But least we forget our President thinks everything he says should be loved and adored not censored, And like sheep we should just blindly follow his skewed views.
