      Are you freaking kidding me? Prez GWB was the biggest complainer about his soft press in history, always trying to game it, and this what Wallace comes up with? Man, these guys are sore losers, and they helped the GOP to lose. Waaaaaaaambulance, please.

        Well, it's another case IOKIYAR when you consider not only did Bush constantly complain about the NYT, but what do you hear from Fox all day long? ...

        ... complain, whine about ABC, NBC, CNN ...

            That means Olbermann. And maybe Maddow as well. Make no mistake, when O'Reilly goes after MSNBC, he's going after Olbermann. He just doesn't want to mention Olbermann's name.

            THANK YOU.

        Obama has called out Fox News directly multiple times as well as Rush and other conservative pundits. Can you link me to a clip of Bush calling out MSNBC or any other network or pundit directly?

        Honestly, I think part of this is Wallace's discomfort that more people will begin to see FOX for the right wing propaganda operation it really is. IMO Wallace is desperately clinging to the fiction that he's a legitimate journalist. A real journalist wouldn't work at FOX, Chris.

          I agree. Wallace was probably backstage parting his hair center-right and didn't hear O'Reilly admit that Fox News is slanted "center-right".

        People at FOX NEWS CHANNEL and conservatives always whine about the "liberal media" and always talk about boycotting talk shows because of alleged liberal bias or complain about their "liberal bias." The hypocrisy is truly stunning.

      Wallace: "the biggest bunch of crybabies I have dealt with in my 30 years in Washington" and he wonders why Obama thinks Fox is a partisan network out to do a hatchet job on him? Wallace, you are supposedly one of the "fair" "journalists" at Fox, but your partisanship is glaring even in this short piece where you are pretending to be non-partisan.

      Wallace: "Obviously Glen Beck has a point of view..." You mean the insane and dishonest view that Obama is Hitler? That Obama is a Manchurian Candidate enemy of the nation intent on its destruction? That Obama hates white people? Gee, yeah, why wouldn't Obama want to come on your network?

      Notice how badly Wallace stumbles over the numbers at the 9/12 event. The million, hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands, "those 70,000." He starts out of the gate mouthing the usual Fox line that there were a million (or even two million) people there but then obviously realizes that he's doing a "we're fair to Obama" bit and gives the actual estimated number. Poor Wallace, pretending to be fair is hard work.

        Pappa Bear corrected Wallace on the count with 70,000 too and I laughed so hard. Oh yeah, Pappa Bear distanced himself from Wallace too. LOL

      FoxNews' Hosts i.e. Chris Wallace and Bill O'Reilly have seen the polls that show how a majority of Americans believe FoxNews Channel to be the 'i-hate-obama-all-the-time-24/7' and they know this is why Pres. Obama selected Univision instead of FoxNews Channel, LOL.

      Didn't Pappa Bear "brag" tonight about how FoxNews Channel "commands power" over the Liberal Media? Well, Pappa Bear should show his Viewers how FoxNews Channel's "command power" works and be part of the five interviews that Pres. Obama is doing. Go ahead Pappa Bear "command power" to take back your interview from UNIVISION with Pres. Obama. Let's see that "command power" in action, LOL. Wink, wink.

      Glennn Beck and Sean Hannity have a "point of view"...? Ha...! Is that a euphamism for lying right wing extremists.

      And, BTW, Bill and Chris, the fact that Obama ignores you does not "elevate" you. Perhaps if FOX wasn't such a far right wing propaganda operation the Obama administration would treat you as a professional news operation.

      Chris, read my lips...FOX News is not a legitimate news organization regardless how many people watch it.

      If you're trying to sell clothes, you don't go to a nudist colony. If you're trying to sell electric appliances, you don't build a store in the middle of an Amish community.

      And if you're trying to convince the people of the validity of your argument about the necessity of your plan for health care reform, you don't go to a news network when the viewership won't be swayed by anything you might say.

      You don't spit into the wind.

        well put, dolly. fox news just doesnt get it. they just dont understand how unbelievably ideological they are. they think they are gaining most of the american viewers, when its not even 1% of them watching. the whole premise is ridiculous.

        ultimately, i think (and more so hope) that after obama gets the health care bill passed, gets the economy in better shape, along with unemployment and other problems the bush administration put us in, the fox news viewers will eventually understand that the deception and smear jobs are not working anymore. this kind of stuff usually just doesnt stick for a long time, and people get the real truth.

      From the white house POV, glen beck is constantly beating on them? I think that is from anyone who is not insane's point of view. Anyone who watches beck for even a single show would get the idea that he has a powerful hatred of obama.

      I noticed how Wallace stumbled over the numbers for the 9/12 rally in Washington, D.C. First he said million, then he clearly realized that was a ridiculous figure and he knew it, so he scaled back to a hundred thousand, and he knew that was ridiculous as well, so he scaled back a second time to a third figure of "tens of thousands." He was caught--on the air--lying about the numbers, and scaling back that lie twice. Even O'Reilly said it was 70,000. The Washington, D.C. Fire Department said it was between 60,000 and 75,000. The irony of all this is that 60 to 75,000 is actually not a bad number for a rally. They're just overplaying their hands there over at the FOX NEWS CHANNEL.

      THANK YOU.
