He's just making jokes.
Nothing to see here

If anyone points out logically, how something is amiss, we will just redirect the conversation to someone Bush did wrong.

Um? I don't see the point of the link. Fox News' defence is that they are a news program dispite the fact that they have admitted to lying in the past (indeed, in 2003 they got a court order allowing them to). If the administration wants to call them out on it, why not? Indeed, Fox News supported that attempt we discussed earleir (Bush administration against NBC) so they are only attempting to protest because they don't link being in the firing line; my heart BLEEDS for them QQ.

while seeking to exclude blacks and families with children.
Uh yeah, that's basically the definition of racist.

Because the executive branch of government should not be there to police or regulate the national media. You don't see any ethical problems with this?

"sees as political opponents" =/= regulating
Stop projecting. Fox is
allowed
to lie on national television against the government and the government isn't allowed to defend itself? If Obama actually wanted to "police" Fox News he force it to follow basic truthful standards and practices, but he has yet to do so. Stop projecting.

The executive branch of government has declared a media organization that disagrees with it as a 'political opponent'. This is unethical.
If you think that it is acceptible, then fine, we disagree. I have nothing else to add. Have a good day, sir.

No it isn't? This isn't Nazi Germany, MyTie (dispite your Obama Youth comment...), it doesn't mean that the people behind FoxNews are going to be disappeared away in the night or anything. FoxNews
is
a politcal opponent of the current administration.
A dissident, broadly defined, is a person who actively challenges an established doctrine, policy, or institution.

Ignore the commentary then, just watch the videos and form your own opinions and conclusions.

I personally believe
this is unethical.

Fix't.
Also, Mytie will never admit he's wrong, he'll vaguely say "I'm not perfect", but he'll never flat out point to something and say "This was a mistake, I am sorry". There's really no point nailing him for anything except for your own amusement.

I don't believe it's unethical, but it is kind of stupid. He's a pretty smart guy, but it doesn't take a political genius to know there's more harm than good to be had picking this fight. He's been at his best when he's attempted to be "above the fray". This seems petty and childish. And again (and most importantly) does nothing to help the President or his agenda.
I don't know, I give him props for someone in the government actually calling out fox news. Fox news is a bunch of jack asses, it just has enough ignorant religious conservative viewers that it doesn't have to worry about being professional.

A couple changes, and voila, you've described every other news network too.

Your correction to my text makes my statement more accurate. The pre corrected condition was a mistake. I was wrong. I am sorry.

As a liberal I laugh at the fact you think any of the major news-stations in America are liberal. They are centerist at best.
Edit: Ah-ha-ha, a libertarian of all people complaining about non-religious news networks. Have you even looked at your peers?

I think 'conservative' and 'liberal' are relative terms.

Where in the whole paragraph did I say any news station was liberal?

The only thing I'm complaining about is you pretending like fox news is the only news station to get it wrong.

Hm yes Liberal viewers are well known for admantly viewing and agreeing with the views of the right wing yes.

You complained about them being "non-religous", yes? Unless you're just trying to be contrary to TheMediator.

No, we're talking about sheeple here (both conservative and liberal). They'll follow anyone who will say "four legs good, two legs bad."

Uhh...no?
DT: Fox news is bad because it's religious.
HSR: All the rest of the news stations are bad
too
.
DT: Therefore you're against non-religious stations.
HSR: WTF?
