      Mr Krauthammer is a national treasure. Only a hypersensitive mental cretin would find fault with his reporting and opinion pieces. If you are that sensitive then you should not be in the public area. More to the point allow me to quote General Patton.... "If every body is thinking the same, then somebody isn't thinking". The media's love affair with President Obama is not good for the President or the country.

        Tell me again why an "objective" news agency would be the "voice of opposition."

        Krauthammer is a bitter, vitriolic, partisan hack who makes psychological diagnoses in his news columns, against the ethical tenets of the professional groups he belongs to.

        Yeah, and we all now what a successful career General Patton had, thanks to his size 12 mouth. I'd be more sympathetic with Krauthammer if he had acknowledged that for 8 years Fox was the mouthpiece of the gop and the bush White House.

      First Doocy, now this guy. Okay...here comes FoxNews Channel's incredible explanation for becoming the loyal "opposition" cable channel against our American President. Hmmm, first FoxNews Channel begs their viewers to "rise-up" against an American President (Obama) and now FoxNews Channel is proudly stating that they are the "only" voice on cable "opposing" our American President 24/7. Stand tall and proud FoxNews Channel, you finally got us all by claiming this one. LOL

      Fox wasn't the "voice of opposition" when the Republicans held all three branches of Government. Then they were the "voice of sycophancy." The fact that Krauthammer says this now makes their blind partisanship obvious.

      Fox is so hypocritical.
      What was Fox's take when they aired their documentary "George W. Bush: Fighting to the Finish" on Feb 2 and Feb 3, where as Fox's own website brags, "FOX News' Bret Baier was granted unprecedented access by George W. Bush as the president begins the final year of his extraordinarily consequential tenure."

      http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,324614,00.html

      His no holds barred questions included gems like:
      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_bbXPrrxFY

      "There are some conservatives out there that say you are too much compassionate?"
      "Was your faith ever shaken over your 7 years?"
      "How badly do you want to get Osama Bin Laden before your end of office?"
      "If there is not another attack before you leave, will that be a major success for this administration?"
      "You've been a wartime president longer than Lincoln was, how do you think you have done?"
      "As you look back over this time, is there one thing that you are most proud of?"

      And the commentary between the interviews are even more lame:

      "From the beginning, President Bush has been frequently ridiculed for his speaking style, now 7 years later he is credited with some of the most eloquent and visionary speeches ever delivered by an American President."

      Please... Fox calling out ABC or NBC is just plain stupid.
