Re: *SHOCK* Obama Punishes FOX NEWS @ Press Confer

I think it's his decision as to media access. The Bush Presidency was notorious for it's games with the press. And before some uninformed person asks me for more information....look into it yourself. Nothing I tell you will be as good as your own research.

Cindy with all due respect, I think they gave a lot of coverage regarding Jennifer Hudson and her nephew. Why do we have to make these issues about color-

Well at least I now know that it wasn't my imagination.

Only because Jenifer Hudson is a celebrity. If she had not been, it wouldn't have been national news.

I watch Oprah sometimes, I saw this explained on her show. I cannot stand to see children hurt or exploited.

Come on do not divert my question, you still haven not answered- back up this comment.

Sometimes, like Limbaugh, some of the FOX News commentators prey on fears and they do so in a way that seems racially exploitive.

It's not about color.

It's about facts.

It's about perceptions.


What I perceived was not based on fairy tales, it was based on the realities of watching FOX News and listening to Limbaugh over a period of time.

Nothing Limbaugh says means anything to me anymore. He's a right winged shock jock for talk radio.

When I noticed what I did concerning FOX News and the way they do their business, I was a little bothered but I realize that sometimes they just come across as offensive and I don't think it done on purpose.
