Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod Accuse Fox News of Behaving in Fox News-Like Manner
Two of President Obama's tippy-top-most advisers — in what was certainly not an orchestrated maneuver — dropped some mind-blowing bombshells on the landscape of American journalism over the weekend, accusing Fox News of being — of all things! — not a real news organization…
White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel told rival cable channel CNN's "State of the Union" that Obama considers Fox News "not a news organization so much as it has a perspective."…
Obama's closest political adviser, David Axelrod, told ABC's "This Week" that Fox News "is really not news. It's pushing a point of view."
First of all, their accusations are absurd on their face. Fox News has the word "news" right in its name. It's not called Fox Perspective or Fox Propaganda or Fox Republican Talking Points, right?
Second of all, my Uncle Mitch says that Fox News isn't only a real news organization, but the only real news organization. Are Emanuel and Axelrod accusing my Uncle Mitch of lying? He's a real American patriot; he must have at least twelve flags on his pick-up. How many do they have on theirs?
Fox News, for its part, responded as any legitimate news organization would: by declaring that the White House has declared "war" on them and asking its viewers to vote on why the administration is so mean…
Unfortunately, they left off the most obvious answer option: That it is in the employ of The Devil. Oh man, their ombudsman is gonna be embarrassed.
As of press time, Glenn Beck could not be reached for crying.
