Video: Anita Dunn on the War on Fox
  • This was reported Friday, but the video wasn’t broadcast until today. Skip to around 2:45 for the Fox News comments: Dunn makes much of a video broadcast on Fox which conflated two different protests. This was wrong and Sean Hannity apologized for it on air the next day. Speaking of bogus video reports, how about this one from MSNBC this week. I guess Anita missed that. Dunn’s example of how [...]
    • Media Matters Matt Gertz Blows the Anita Dunn Case Wide Open
  • It’s no secret that Media Matters is a left wing lapdog. They coincidentally seem to echo whatever the DNC is selling on a given day. But some days you just gotta feel sorry for them. Some days there’s just nothing to say, but they have to trot out something anyway. Some days like yesterday. Yesterday Glenn Beck posted video of Anita Dunn, White House Communications Director, quoting Chairman Mao approvingly: [...]
    • Fox Election 2008 Coverage was the Most Fair and Balanced
  • That’s the conclusion of a new study: The CMPA study compares ABC, CBS ( CBS – news – people ) and NBC evening news shows and the first half hour of Fox News Channel’s Special Report, which most closely resembles its broadcast news counterparts. (CNN and MSNBC have no comparable flagship evening news show; more on Fox’s polarizing talk shows momentarily.) So how could Fox have both the most balanced [...]
    • The Good We Do Pt.1
  • I’ve decided to do a roundup of some of the stories coming out of Louisiana about the church’s contribution to relief efforts. God, working through his people, has had a significant impact. Since we’re not given credit in the media for things like this very often, I think we should note it when we are. I’ll start with this story of a 100 member church that has cared for 100 [...]
    • White House War on Fox News Continues
  • They called off the war on Fox because it was making them look like whiny, thin-skinned losers. But as I wrote at the time, the war didn’t really end. It was always just a change in strategy. The arm twisting and bullying continues, only now it’s going on out of the public’s view: At least one Democratic political strategist has gotten a blunt warning from the White House to never [...]
    • Talking to Your Mom Can Get You Suspended
  • Stories like this drive me NUTS! Being a teacher, I agree that there is vast room for improvement in the educational system,…but I don’t believe that the system is as broken or twisted as many pundits and politicos do. That being said, you read a story like this and it is hard NOT to believe that the adults involved are lacking in intelligence and/or common sense! The short version of [...]
    • The Fix Is In Redux
  • This time, courtesy of Slublog at Ace’s place. He received an e-mail from inside one of America’s newsrooms and it’s about what you’d expect: It’s unbelievable here. I’ve been through a few election cycles and have gotten pretty used to the open sneering every time a Republican candidate appears on the television, but this year is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Anchors were openly cheering when the news came out [...]
    • Joseph Rago’s Pompous, Prolix Piece on Blogs
  • Joseph Rago musters and blusters the magisterial authority of the press in this piece attacking blogs: The blogs are not as significant as their self-endeared curators would like to think. Journalism requires journalists, who are at least fitfully confronting the digital age. The bloggers, for their part, produce minimal reportage. Instead, they ride along with the MSM like remora fish on the bellies of sharks, picking at the scraps. More [...]
    • How the Media Works for Democrats
  • Media Research Center looked at all the morning show segments related to the election in 2007, some 517 in all. Here’s what they found: The networks offered nearly twice as much coverage of the Democrats. More than half of all campaign segments (284, or 55%) focused on the Democratic contest, compared with just 152 (29%) devoted to the Republicans. The remaining stories either offered roughly equal discussion of both parties [...]

    • Anita Dunn: War on Fox Worked

    John on November 13, 2009 at 11:26 pm

    She leaves the administration after several weeks of bad publicity, but she believes her tenure was a net gain. In particular, she thinks the war on Fox worked:

    [S]he said that the White House criticism has been effective in preventing other networks from picking up stories broken by Fox.

    “It did help people get a sense of perspective again,” Dunn said. “People took a step back and said, ‘Hmm, am I really wanting to go chase those stories?’”

    I miss her already.

      Glenn Beck outed the little socialist just as he did with Van Jones…In the age where everything is recorded and photographed you would think that Obamas circle of Hugo Chavez lovers would stop espousing their true agenda so openly but apparently they can’t help themselves..

      Hopefully Glenn Beck will drive them all out because god knows the MSM has given their undying loyalty and approval to this administration…

      With Fox being outfoxed in their duplicitous dishonesty (or journalistic incompetence, if that makes one feel any better) by Comedy Central, perhaps the White House’s hostility is entirely justified.

      I’ll miss her too. So easy to quote. It’s almost as if she was giving it to us. What she is failing to see is that she apparently got more people to watch FOX. Even if the other outlets aren’t following the same stories is becoming increasingly irrelevant, just like the MSM.

      You are all stupid. Enough said. FOX has ex-military and government in their news reporting. That’s not a way to be unbiased. Also they spend millions of dollars on PR campaigns to try and convince you they are fair and balanced. Also are you seriously claiming that comedy central is a legitimate news source? Are you kidding me? It’s a COMEDY network. Anyone who thinks The Daily Show or Colbert Report is trying to report accurately on the news is foolish. They mention events and then immediately spin off on jokes and parodies of them. Come on use your brains. You believe God gave em to use so why not try using them. Crazy I know
