Fox's Obama-less Wallace: "I'm not sure that the world needs another interview of President Obama about health care"

From the September 18 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends:

How do they feign shock? When this agenda driven network's agenda is to "bring down the President" it's obvious why he's bypassing Fox.
Counterprogramming? Meaning you counter News? I guess that's right, considering Fox News is nothing like News.
Of course you don't think the world needs another interview with President Obama. You don't want him clarifying the waters that you've spent good time and money to muddy up. That would be simply awful, wouldn't it?
Hey, just out of curiosity, where were all those 'tough questions' for the two kids who took the 'Pimp & Ho Show' on the road to ACORN offices until they found somebody to fall for their shtick? You know, just one tough question, like, "Can I see an unedited tape?" or, "How many offices did you have to visit to get this footage?"
Here's something I haven't seen anywhere :
The latest issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, one of the pre-eminent medical journals in the world, has results of a truly scientific poll whose methodology is indeed rigorous and public, which looked at physicians' views about the public option and expanding Medicare.
Here is a summary of their findings:
Overall, a majority of physicians (62.9%) supported public and private options (see Panel A of graph, at right). Only 27.3% supported offering private options only. Respondents - across all demographic subgroups, specialties, practice locations, and practice types - showed majority support (>57.4%) for the inclusion of a public option (see Table 1, online). Primary care providers were the most likely to support a public option (65.2%); among the other specialty groups, the "other" physicians - those in fields that generally have less regular direct contact with patients, such as radiology, anesthesiology, and nuclear medicine - were the least likely to support a public option, though 57.4% did so.
Physicians in every census region showed majority support for a public option, with percentages in favor ranging from 58.9% in the South to 69.7% in the Northeast. Practice owners were less likely than nonowners to support a public option (59.7% vs. 67.1%, P<0.001), but a majority still supported it. Finally, there was also majority support for a public option among AMA members (62.2%).
Or at least more coverage of those commies over there at ACORN ...
I do looooove the Fox News priorities!
Fox News refuses to air Obama's speech to Congress last week, and then they moan about how he's not doing their Sunday talk show?
Yep, that's the Fox News I've come to know.
Chris...you do what you do which is to say dean in non fact and lie about everything. How could anyone trust Fox editting skills?
TRANSLATION: I'm not sure Obama should give another and talk directly to the people via another non-biased network -- this hinders our ability to twist what he says.
But Fox gave us one, anyway.
