Yet another attempt to stir up controversy where there is none.

Comic Relief: Judicial Watch Reveals White House Bias Against Fox News
Posted by Mark on July 14, 2011 at 8:39 pm.


Judicial Watch describes itself as a “public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption.” Today they announced that they have uncovered documents from Obama’s Department of the Treasury revealing evidence of an anti-Fox News bias within the White House.

Holy moly! What a scoop. Perhaps with a little more digging these intrepid muckrakers might have even discovered the anti-Obama bias within Fox News.

First of all, having an anti-Fox News bias is not in any way indicative of government corruption. If anything, it demonstrates a clearheaded analysis of the media giant. Fox News is a 24 hour hate machine aimed at President Obama, Democrats, and progressive politics overall. It would be surprising (and stupid) if the White House were not aware of the hostility spewed by Fox News, and did not take measures to defend itself.

Judicial Watch’s pretense to independence is about as honest as the Fox News slogan “fair and balanced.” In their press release announcing the documents {pdf} they received from a Freedom of Information Act request, they carefully highlighted only the few bits that reflected poorly on the communications staff at the Treasury Department. Note that none of the emails they retrieved were actually from the White House although it is the White House they blame for the bias.

And the fact that Ailes is part of Fox.

:rofl:

No snark there, eh. :D

But seriously, I'll bet we're gonna be seeing a lot more noticeable bias from everyone once the Newscorps investigations get underway. Unlike David Cameron, at least Judicial Watch can't claim that Obama is in Rupert's pocket. :hi:

they NEVER give interviews to them.
