Today President Obama began his Midwest bus tour with a stop in Cannon Falls, Minnesota where he spoke about jobs and the economy. After his prepared remarks, an audience member asked Obama: “How are you going to use renewable energy to create jobs in the future?” Megyn Kelly, who is supposed to be one of Fox News' “straight news” anchors, cut off Obama in the middle of his answer, claiming: “There you have it, they're moving away from the core issue which is jobs.”
Kelly then turned for reaction to Fox Business host Lou Dobbs, a promoter of Obama birther theories and a serial Obama basher. Dobbs proceeded to attack the president. Dobbs claimed that Obama has not “put forward legislation” for any of his job-creating plans and asserted that Obama was playing “small ball” and even “whiffle ball” on jobs.
While Kelly and Dobbs spoke, they sat in front of a giant graphic that said “DOWNGRADE”:
Just more proof that there is no difference between Fox's “straight news” shows and its opinion shows.
