From Wikipedia:

“KURTZ: I think the argument that I’ve heard Olbermann make in the past about Fox News – it’s not an argument that I embrace – is that, because it poses as a news organization and puts out dangerous misinformation is a cheerleader for the Bush administration, that it’s misinforming our society. But you know what? They’re entitled to do that.”

And the beat goes on…
The beat goes on…
Drums keep pounding rhythm to the brain

What is really less than dignifying is a grown man going by the name ‘Howie’.

Once again, Obama is showing that he understands the modern world and young people. And the right wing is still dreaming of “the good old days” that never even existed.

How does he figure that YouTube interviews are less dignified than FoxNews interviews? They’re both just entertainment channels. Only the demographics set them apart (by about 50 years).

“Beneath the dignity of the office”, what’s actually beyond the dignity of the office is the treatment shown this president from Faux News and the republican party!!!

“He’s got a good sense of humor, that’s a political asset, but it just seemed beneath the dignity of the office to be hanging out with some of these YouTubers,” he said.

Gotta love all the right-winger hand-wringing over the “dignity of the office”. I’m sure that all this is a genuine concern and is totally unrelated to their unbridled hatred of Obama. :eyeroll: I often wonder what it would be like to live in a cognitive dissonance-free world.

Is there anything Obama has ever done or could ever do that some Fox News yutz doesn’t consider beneath the dignity of the office?

I hope Obama becomes a 4Chan admin.

This is stuff for TMZ not TPM. Do we care what these people say. I know I don’t. It’s the same old stuff just a different day.

I know there are many of you who knock cable news but I find I get much better stories onRachel Maddow Chris Hayes and Lawrencce O’Donnel’s show than I read here.Especially from Rachel Maddow.

Working for Fox News is beneath the dignity of anyone who purports to be a media critic.

Doesn’t FOX give every one of its hosts the same kind of talking points? The question is, how can America rid itself of this propagandist network whose mission is to undermine original thought and to always hide truth from the American populace? Get rid of FOX; save American democracy.
