Why is Obama afraid of honest media? Just shows he can't be trusted.

No, I don't recall Bush or Cheney doing the Rachel Maddow Show. Why would President Obama visit the neocon equivalent?

A more valid question might be, should a sitting president be doing ANY one-on-one interviews or late night shows?

Because of the extreme Liberal bias of the Express (Washington Post that I now refuse to purchase after being a subscriber for years) and the fact that Diogenes works there, I am guessing this poll will end in extreme bias for Emperor Obama. Chris Wallace said it best when he called this current administration the biggest group of cry babies he has seen in his thirty years of journalism. The administration would be better off if they quite whinning about not getting hugs and kisses on fox like they do from all the dead media stations. Even if Fox had on 'Dancing with the Czars' (Oops, I meant Stars) supposedly the Fox News channel carried the president's put me to sleep address to congress last Wednesday (I would not know since I do not have cable). Obama should just shut his mouth since all the polls show that the more he speaks the lower his ratings go.
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/daily_presidential_tracking_poll (9% more strongly disapprove of his performance than strongly approve of his performance.)
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/current_events/healthcare/september_2009/health_care_reform (56% disapprove of Obama-care).

Yes. It clearly shows his bias and the fact that he is scared of actually being asked a potentially difficult question from one of the few non-biased news media. Obama is becoming more and more like his buddy Chavez everyday in that both here and in Venezuela there is only one news channel left that still challenges the president.

If Hussein was honest and forthcoming about the things he advocates, an appearance on Fox News would only serve to reinforce his stand and garner him much needed credibility. However, his refusal to appear only reinforces his image as a smooth-taliking prevaricator who does not want to risk a slip of the tongue that may reveal his true agenda, and also demonstrates his cowardice and narcissism in the face of straightforward questioning. The stamping of feet and holding his breath until he turns blue would not be the image he wants America to see.

Obama was slighted because Fox aited something he didn't want aired (I forgot what, but they spoke about it on Fox this morning). So in an attempt to control the media, he was petty and chose not to rise above childish behavior, granting others an interview, but ignoring the one.

Politicians at all levels have always tried to chose forums that are friendly to them. The only ones making a big deal out of this "snub" is the media.

The President can talk to (or not talk to) whomever he wants. I didn't see Bush or Cheney clamoring for MSNBC's attention during their administration.

Why would he want to go and talk with people that hate him?

Common Kevin, you have the nerve to protest against this paper and not the neo con right wing Washington Examiner? Why would Obama appear on a TV station that hates him and is dedicated to destroying him and saving the Republican party. The average of all polls has him at 53.4. The biggest bunch of whiners are the Republicans.

In fact I wish he would refuse more requests for interviews. My TV is starting to creep me out. It's become like Big Brother from 1984.

This is the price Fox paid for airing Dancing With the Stars instead of presidential addresses (it's become a habit). If Fox wants to be considered as a serious news outlet, they have to actually air the news. I think it had the potential to be a good interview, but Fox didn't deserve to be rewarded for bad behavior.

Hey Express, why even ask the question like that - since when can the name 'Obama' and the word 'wrong' be used in the same sentence? Obama will never be wrong.

No. Presidents don't have any obligation to talk any branch of the media, in spite of the inflated view many media people have of their own importance.

I don’t think it’s a matter of right or wrong; the president just didn’t feel up to answering the questions that Fox News would have asked. He wasn’t feeling particularly transparent that morning.

This will hurt him. It sends a clear message that the media is Biased and he will only talk to them. Chavez would be proud.

Oh! He declined for real -- I had no idea...news to me. Well, I'm sure the President has his reasons. But do I think that he should have granted them the interview being that his place in our current society shepherds not just the Dems but republicans alike and Fox news is one major representative of that other segment of our nation that most of us liberals often cringe on...but what can we do? that's why there's sibling rivalry -- no two siblings ever agree on everything.

No, the president wasn't wrong. Fox supports everything that is republican. Thank God that Obama was too intelligent to become a fly in that web of spiders.

Obama's snub is no big deal; Fox News prides itself on presenting the true facts and allowing the audience to decide how to act or react. Allowing Obama to recite his fairy tales would be counter to their image.

@ Nancy

When a Republican was President, Fox supported everything Democrat. :oP

It's petty of Obama to snub Fox News for a perceived slight and smacks of high school cliquishness. And not only is he thumbing his nose at Fox News (which did in fact carry Obama's speech to the joint session on its Fox News cable channel), but he is dissing a rather large segment of the American population as being unimportant to him and not worth his time. Personally, I think it was a smart business choice for Fox to air SYTYCD and leave the "news" for their cable channel, giving people a choice of what to watch, a very un-Chavez-like thing to do.

Wrong is too powerful a term. This isn't an issue of moral certitude. However, I do believe that in rejecting Fox News, President Obama missed an opportunity to speak directly to his most skeptical audience. For that reason alone I feel he erred.

MildlyMisanthropic, you've only got half of the story. Bush and Cheney were not asked to go on the Rachel Maddow Show.

YeaH, why would rightwing echochamber..... fox's constant refusal to showing Obama's Press conference live so they can't edit and take things out of context have any sort of consciences? Honestly they knew when they went pure partisan when it came to Obama he wasn’t going to stop his Ban on Fox Noise. Fox Noise is just MAD because Obama is isolating them by not even giving them the chance to turn him down anymore.

I'm back, after spending two weeks in southern California. Throughout my trip, airport shops had Obama magazines, Obama posters, Obama t-shirts, Obama hats, Obama cups, Obama dolls, Obama books, Obama stickers, and Obama bobble-head dolls. The only thing Californians are not buying is Obamacare.

"Since President Obama's inauguration, Fox News has officially abandoned its already dubious standing as a news organization and is now engaging in outright political activism, completing its transition into the 24/7 media wing of the far-right conservative movement.
Fox News' leaders have admitted as much themselves. In a March interview with the Los Angeles Times, Fox News chief Roger Ailes described his network as "the Alamo," and Fox News vice president for programming Bill Shine has referred to the station as the "voice of opposition.Beck and Fox aggressively promoted and encouraged attendance at the anti-Obama Tax Day tea parties in April and subsequent follow-up events, including this past weekend's 9-12 protest in Washington, D.C. Fox isn't going to change on its own. We have to expose the network for what it is. We have to fight back.

Fox News is a misnomer. It is a syndicate dedicated to extreme right-wing propaganda, misinformation and entertainment in the guise of blustery ideologues and pundits. Obame was right not to waste time there.

This large segment you talk about don't care about Obama anyway no matter what he does they are against him. So like SYTYCD they can change their station to watch Obama if they chose so of those so call MSM stations. The Heck with FOX. .

Considering the vitriol Fox Noise spews about Obama, why should he appear on their show and give them a chance to make him look bad? Half the time, Fox can't get the political party right when doing stories on elected officials.

And would GWB even have been willing to do five news shows in a morning--much less appear on MSNBC?

It was a good PR move, but all the appearances made his message less effective.

First of all, let's get one thing straight: Fox "News" is by NO means a news outlet. It is nothing more than a place for right-wing wingnuts to spew their vile, hateful, and racist propoganda. It is the place that support the illegal and totally corrupt Bush/Cheney regime of thugs and cronies. And it HATES Barack Obama -- it cannot stand the fact the an African American is President of the US.

So -- NO -- President Obama was not wrong to grant an interview to Fox "News". President Obama, supported by a majority of ALL Americans and of ALL the people of the WORLD -- is doing his best to usher in a NEW ERA of peace, prosperity, gender-equality, justice, and love. Fox "News", on the other hand, is doing its best to pull us back to the 8 dreary years of Bush/Cheney -- years of wat, depression, male-domination, injustice, and hatred.

Why should President Obama lend the prestige and gravitas of his office to such a low-life, digusting, and vile propoganda outlet as Fox "News". People who watch Fox "News" are more likely to want to watch "Dancing With The Stars" anyway.

The man is President. He can do whatever the heck he wants.

@JJ, 9:28 am

While I am not a MSNBC producer, I would put hard money down that the Maddows show or any other MSNBC program would kill for a one-on-one with either Bush or Cheney.

@ anonymous. 9:17 am

"When a Republican was President, Fox supported everything Democrat"

What? That must be a joke.

No. I really do like the idea of keeping all the nuts in one, easy to find place - at Fox News. That way, you can keep an eye on all of them at the same time. All rational people should decline speaking requests from Fox. In no time at all, most people would realize that they have no programming on Fox and that it is just one big continual brainwashing series.

I wonder...
What if MSNBC or CNN have asked President Obama and he accepted to be on their newscast?

Possible Fox headlines:
Obama wastes tax money to go on news network.
Obama is bias.
Obama, working or hardly working?
Obama is in bed with the liberal media elites.

No. If FOX can't be bothered to broadcast a speech to a joint session of Congress then can they really be considered a news outlet?

but I'd prefer if he just went on the Glenn Beck show and just made him look like an idiot.

A cult of personality depends upon control of the media. With Obama seeking to maintain/strenghten his, it would make no sense for him to appear on a broadcast that he did not know he could use as a vehicle of propaganda.

The Return of McCarthyism
A must watch. They did an excellent job with this mash up of McCarthy and Beck.

While I'm not absolutely positive of what you were trying to say Anonymous, you are entirely wrong about the people who watch Fox News. Many of us are Independents who watch other news programs as well in an effort to get all viewpoints, unlike most Democrat voters who have never watched anything except CNN or MSNBC. Obama would do well to seek out Independents and moderate conservatives like me who could very well make the difference in the next election.......

Wouldn't it have been fun to watch, though? I'm guessing Fox would've told him he could use his beloved teleprompter, but would've rigged it to change his speech. The question then is how long Obama would've continued reading the doctored script out of loyalty to his teleprompter and/or fear of going off-script. I'm guessing at least 5 minutes.

@ Zora - you MUST support President Obama, regardless of his policies. Your success or failure IS totally in the hands of President Obama, not your own.

So you know for a fact that many dems only watch CNN and MSNBC and folks who watch FOX are Independants and watch other shows. You make this broad statement with no facts, just opinions. My opinion is many folks watch FOX and only FOX and are morons.

Bush must have been way wrong. After his camp found out he had major problems doing interviews for or against his issue "WAR". He declined to do all if he did any interviews. "And thats all I'm going to say about that", sounds familiar?

For those who believe Fox's words are holy, please read this:
http://people-press.org/report/319/public-knowledge-of-current-affairs-little-changed-by-news-and-information-revolutions

Fox may be biased (same as all mainstream media pretty much), but I find it interesting that the reputation has gotten to the point where people actually ignore or disbelieve the correct information simply because it was Fox who reported it.

People who refuse to watch the channel because of perceived bias are just as bad as people who believe everything they hear. Without watching the channel how would you know how biased it is? Or are we simply taking the word of others that it is? Is it really biased, or do you just personally dislike the information (and opinions, when it comes to the commentator shows)? Lies and disagreement are not the same.

At this point, people need to start asking themselves whether they are the ones with the closed mind. Refusing to accept or even consider even factual information simply because of their perception of the source's bias is just a convenient way to ignore the other side of an argument. How intellectually lazy can we get?

@ Zora

When is Obama going to sieze control of the press?

@GW - Fox News was on in the Dr's waiting room last Friday. In a short period, I noticed a couple flat wrong information.

In one of my earliest memories of Fox News, I remember O'Reilly shouting at his crew to cut the mic on his guest. Why? Because he had a different opinion. Fair and Balance? LOL.

Why should President Obama grant Fox News anything? Fox News since his election has publicly gone out of their way to embarrass and delegitimize his Presidency by being the breeding ground for these Neo-Con loons and birthers such as Glen Beck, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, and Bill O'Reily who's agenda is cleary to broadcast as much hate speech and false propaganda until it sticks. That's not fair and unbiased reporting they have become the new Morton Downey, Jr. network of our decade.

Obama should be able to defend his health care plan in any situation. However, Fox news has a history of giving one-sided biased interviews, and it's unlikely that he will sway any of the network's regular viewers. Going on their show would have been a waste of time, and he was right to skip it.

If you are white and disagree with Obama, you must be a racist.

Great argument, TH. "At a couple of unspecified times I saw a couple of unspecified incidents which clearly demonstrated that FOX News isn't credible".

So Obama will freely sit down without preconditions, with Castro, Chavez, Ahmadinejad, etc., but not Bill O'Reilly?

If you are white and disagree with Obama, you must be a racist.

Carter said “the broad-based opposition that has met Obama's proposals is racist”. I watched Hannity, FOX nuts and now you have warped it into the following lie: “All people who oppose Obama is a racist”. And of course the wingnuts are taking his queue. How nice. For the past 40 years the party has been courting "rednecks", "bigots", and other people who are filled with hatred to try to increase the numbers in your party. All of us realize that some of the people in the party are true conservatives but because the party chose to increase its numbers with the ignoramus in our country it has become a party that is embarrassing the few of the many who have brains. The prime example is TEA PARTIES. I went to the one in DC. It was a KKK Rally.

If his reason for not doing it is that he doesn't want to give credibility to a manipulative spreader of misinformation, does he still disagree with the assertion of McCain (and most people with experience in foreign affairs) that POTUS shouldn't meet without precondition with the leaders of rogue states?

@TH

All fair and possibly accurate claims but without the actual details (what incorrect information?) and specifics, we can make claims like that all day and it won't prove anything. All news has errors in it at times, Fox is no worse than the rest, especially if you take note of what other stations *don't* report, but should.

Oreilly can be annoying when he cuts off people sometimes but he's usually trying to force them to answer a specific question that they refuse to answer, so he cuts them off because they're off topic. I haven't seen his show for a year or two but I've seen enough to be able to understand what he's up to. Bill O isn't a reporter though so technically I guess he can do whatever he wants anyway, but I think he's at least an honest person.

Often when I see some claim of "bias" or "errors" on Fox (or other stations), when I go look up the report/clip and view it in context, it makes more sense than we were lead to believe. The only way to know is to have an open mind and watch it all yourself--make your own decision.

I do not believe he was wrong. Fox News is closer to an opinion/entertainment channel than an actual news outlet. It might be an issue having him pick and choose actual news outlets, though he’s free to go where he pleases. But skipping Fox News? Its like skipping E! or Comedy Central – i.e. not a big deal.

He can't waste his time on any old news show, but he will take time for Dave Letterman, who is really running this country. See http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/09/21/AR2009092101094.html?wpisrc=newsletter&wpisrc=newsletter&wpisrc=newsletter

He considers FoxNews entertainment rather than news, and he knows POTUS shouldn't waste his time or taxpayer money appearing on entertainment programs. Thus, he's justifiably limiting his appearances to hard-hitting interviews with serious journalists....like David Letterman.

Heck No.
Fox has the highest ratings because all these OLD and ignorant people are sitting on their butts watching cable. Watching the dumb blonds and bimbos appear to lighten up their dreary lives. They don’t have the drive to go on a booty call like brother Anderson. The more education you have, the LESS tv you watch. So while Fox may have high ratings, it’s relative to who's watching. Just because you have the most people of an uneducated, ignorant viewer ship doesn't mean you have an impact. Fox just has more idiots glued to the screen than any other channel. Limbaugh flunked out his freshman year, so he attracts the same type of moron he his. Like I said, they make a lot of noise, but they're irrelevant. They're stuck in an America that doesn't exist anymore. They're fifty years out of step. Like a restricted country club that would rather die than change, the Republican Party is marginalizing itself for the sake of the white men who run it.

"Why is Obama afraid of honest media? Just shows he can't be trusted."

Now that's HYSTERICAL!
Fox News and "honest media" in the same sentence!
hahahahahahahahahahaha

And what stupid logic!

You people are so funny!!!!

President Obama just like Fox 5 made a discussion. They did not support him while he ran for president. So the President decided not to interview with them. He wasn't wrong he just didn't grant the interview!

Yes, he was. If President Obama wants to truly be president to the entire U.S., he has to deal with conservatives, too. To make so many appearances on television in one day, and none of them on a conservative show, shows that he only represents those who already agree with him.

It's so funny watching the same people who knee-jerk attacked everything GWB for the last 8 years assail anyone who criticizes Obama. It's even funnier when people who owned page-a-day "Bushism" calendars cry about people not respecting the office of POTUS. And don't even bother trying to flip that one around; NOBODY defended GWB with the fervency with which the Yes We Canners defend their Glorious Leader.

CAREFUL! You don't want to be heard questioning the judgment of the great and powerful Obama, do you???

The Letterman appearance and poster named "Special Olympic Bowler" got me wondering about whether Obama ever followed up on his pledged atonement for his foot-in-mouth moment last time he did late night? Did he ever have any disabled people over to the White House to bowl? If not, why? Did that idea get overwhelmed by the Beer Summit?

Well, Ummmm, your comment and the one by Awwww got me wondering about what the response would be if I came out with a calendar of Obama-isms? Off the top of my head, there was the Special Olympics "joke", the Kanye West "jackass", the "acting stupidly", the FedEx/Postal Service comparison, and the 57 states. Would the YesWeCanners get all indignant? Would I be called racist?

Dear Leader was not wrong to exclude network--he is free to do as he pleases. However, for such a bright man, it seems petty and unwise to antagonize a major news outlet. If his cause is so just and universal, any audience should hear it, otherwise he's just preaching to the choir. For such a post-partisan President, he's sure acting differently than he advertised he would.

If your polocies are a fraud and you are lying you do not want to go on Fox. If your telling the truth being on fox is no problem.

greg,
What is 53.4? Did you mean 53% disapproval? I was going by Rasmussen which I feel is the least biased and more neutral which I also posted above. Where did you get your "average of all the polls?" Please post where you got this? Was it from MSNBC?

greg,
Another good point. Why did Bush appear on any media outlets over the last 8 years when almost all were out to destroy him? I think Obama is doing a good enough job of destroying himself and many are having buyers' remorse as clearly shown by his plummeting approval ratings.

No, he was wrong to stage a hostile takeover of the airwaves. Couldn't he have at least let his 5 different interviewers use different backdrops? The whole thing felt way too much like "reporters" for state-run media in third-world countries asking the dictator how he would explain his incredible popularity, or how he became so wise.

IMO He should have gone onto Fox, it might have even lifted his approvals if he has a convincing defense for his policies. Instead, by not visiting Fox he has sent an entirely different message to half the country.

On the same token as the other claim made above, allegedly talk radio listeners (supposed to be mostly "conservative") are the MOST informed when compared to viewers of mainstream media news channels. Who knows what that means.

And it's no use claiming people of lesser education are somehow less intelligent or important than those with degrees. Often it's the ones with the degrees screwing things up the most. This is silly stuff to be discussing people. Stick to the facts and logical arguments. "Ad hominem style" attacks on groups of people or "tv networks" are worthless.

POTUS did not grant Fox an interview because he knows the fundamentals of Obamacare and the misinformation being spread about it can not stand up to legitimate questioning. He prefers the sheep that follow their shepherd without question.

I oppose BO and attended the 4/15 Tea Party and 9/12 so I guess I must be a racist. This is so funny that you must watch. It reminds me of Zora.

I wish that too. It would be so easy for Beck to make Obama look like the idiot that he is. I mean even George Stephanopoulos made Obama look like an idiot when he read the definition of tax to Obama and Obama's only comeback was that he was reaching since he had to look up the definition. Obama is hopeless without his preselected speeches and teleprompter. At least Clinton and Bush could be honest and speak from the heart, even if they were wrong, without the crutch of a teleprompter.
