In an interview with Rolling Stone, Obama not only bashed Fox News, i.e., "You had folks like (William Randolph) Hearst who used their newspapers very intentionally to promote their viewpoints. I think Fox is part of that tradition - it is part of the tradition that has a very clear, undeniable point of view", he went on to say, "a point of view that I disagree with. It's a point of view that I think is ultimately destructive for the long-term growth of a country that has a vibrant middle class and is competitive in the world".
Say again?
Nearly every major newspaper in the country, led by The New York Times, whose owners use it "very intentionally to promote their viewpoints", leans left, as do ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, CNBC, and MSNBC, whose owners use them "to promote their viewpoints". If it hadn't been for the left-leaning - by its own admission - media, it's questionable whether or not Obama would even be in the White House.
But this comment is more than just the usual Fox-bashing. Obama says that Fox News is "destructive" to the country. That's not even rational.
