      I'm certain that America does not need an opposition party masquerading as a news network.

        Republicans like Chris Wallace are just upset 'cause Pres. Obama isn't doing an interview at the 'hate-obama-all-the-time-24/7' cable network called FoxNews Channel, that's all. LOL

      How can Fox be surprised that he isn't gracing their network?
      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.

      Thats because Fox News is not a "news" channel! Anything the President would have to say will be seen as weakining America. These partisan hacks are nothing but a propaganda machine GOP. They have shown repeatedly that they dont want the Democratic Party to govern at all.

      Questions like "Who will be on the death panel, and how can I buy a seat?" You mean questions like that, Mr. Wallace?

      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?"

      Guess Chris has a short attention span and is probably insured.

      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%).

      I think Fox is missing having exclusive rights to Presidential and Vice Presidential interviews that it enjoyed during the previous administration.

      Fox can say whatever they want about President Obama.The USA has not been dissolved,and the office of POTUS still holds world-wide prestige.A POTUS interview raises the ratings and prestige of any broadcast network.Thank you President Obama for keeping FOX regulated to the junior league,with-out the prestige level of a real broadcast network.They are mad because they have been played,and now have to beg.

      Let me get this straight....

      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.

      Of course you think that because every time he gives an interview public approval for healthcare reform goes up. Much better for Fox if people only hear the opposing viewpoint.

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



      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.

      And Fox is known for asking the "tough questions" -- as per their previous interviews with Rice, Rumsfeld, Cheney, et al.

      The world didn't need a hackjob pseudo-journalist fraudulently trading off his father's good name and integrity, either.

      But Fox gave us one, anyway.
