      I'd say that you're doing a pretty good job of it yourself, Glennie.

      Glenn are you just mad that her because you think her job description is the same as yours. Wait, you get paid much, much more. But you come from better stock...Rush spawned you.

      And why are you afraid of her?

        Because she has the weight of the federal government behind her. The FCC is a government agency. NEVER before have I seen a nervous president use the office of the presidency to intimidate a political pundit. Obviously, Obama has a lot to be nervous about. Enter Anita Dunn. "Sick-em, girl".

          Didn't live in America under Bush huh? He and the Foxies decided long ago to dismiss any left of center bloggers not to mention MSNBC. And remember the cries (that still occur) that there is a "left wing bias" in the media? Isn't that attacking the media? Bush didn't have a leg to stand on, and the Cheney's and Rove's of the previous administration had the tactic of ignoring anyone (in the world) they didn't agree with... Beck smears and makes tenuous (at best) associations with people in power... Why shouldn't people call out people who lie?

            "Vast right-wing conspiracy" sound familiar? Also, the Bush administration dismissing or ignoring the left-wing biased media is NOT the same as an administration trying to SILENCE it's critics. Nice try, not.

              "Nice try, not." What are you a 12 year old girl?

              The Bush administration use of only "friendly" media is well documented. You love Fox News because it presents your world view, not because it is accurate or worthy. I don't trust any news media because I know they all, even the bext, get things wrong, editorialize the facts and promote, even if slightly, an agenda. So I go all over for differing versions to get at the truth. Even then, the truth is relative.

              Life is nuanced and you are not. Wake up and be a citizen, not a pawn.

                You know, Cannonball, at first I was thinking you'd made a pretty accurate assessment of Poopinrainbow's personality and posting style.

                Then I continued to read the rest of the thread, and pnr's other comments. You've slandered 12 year old girls, most of whom would probably be very embarrassed to be compared to an emotional, nervous crybaby like puppy.I'm pretty sure most 12 year old girls are more mature and logical, just tougher in general, than Princess Rainbow.

          Are you kidding me? There have been no threats and all Anita Dunn did was state facts regarding the real function of Fox. It's NOT a source of news, it IS a political communications arm of the RNC. [Murdoch even confirmed that Fox's goal during the Bush years was to push his agenda because Murdoch agreed with it. His comments were widely published at the time he said it.] Fox's own spokesperson confirmed that Fox's night time programing, including Beck's, is opinion programming. The only thing he said that was wrong was that most of Fox's viewers understand they are watching opinion programming. Obviously, that's not true.

          Dunn said the President would go on Fox any time he was asked, but it would be with the understanding that it would be done in the context of debate with the opposition as opposed to a regular interview with a news program.

          Try looking at facts for a change, puppies. You aren't getting many from Fox.

      "Watch fox 'news' and destroy . . "

      NO WORRIES, if fox ceases to LIE, OBFUSCATE, MISINFORM and fails to corroborate their comments with 'facts' . .

      i.e. "and I believe Jennings is associated with NAMBLA, we'll have to check it out."

            Oh, so you're close 'buds'(no pun unintended)with the POTUS, huh. Only someone sooooo close as you would see him acting soooo cool. Otherwise, the nervous little creep we see in the news is the same nervouse little creep totally intimidated by criticism. We've seen him lash out at Limbaugh, Hannity and now, Beck. What a crybaby!

          "They destroy their critics and opposition."
          By calling out their criticism as being dishonest? This is how Chavez "destroyed" critics? Help me understand this parallel, because I'm having a hard time seeing how the Obama Administration is going circumvent the First Amendment.
