From Newsbusters – Obama says Fox operates like talk radio

As Michelle Malkin said this morning on Fox, TheOne has 2 hours to spend with “journalists”- if you include Keith Olberman and Rachel Maddow in that club and they were included in his meeting with reporters – but he can only spare 25 minutes with General McChrystal, in the last how many months?

In the video clip below, he tells the NBC “journalist” that the American people are more interested in the economy and the war in Afghanistan rather than answer her question about his Fox news feud. But what he’s failing to own up to is his attempt to distract the American people, by promoting his Fox offensive, from those very things.

Fox should announce one day a week how well their ratings are doing since TheOne started his boycott and then say nothing else about it. Indifference is a killer and Fox should regard this whole silly thing as nothing. Let the LameStreamMedia report on it all they want but Fox should continue to report the news that Obama is trying to distract the country from knowing about and ignore the boycott. It’s obviously not hurting them at all.

It looks like McChrystal will be hung out to dry

In an interview with Newsweek, Gen. McChrystal said he wouldn’t resign if the President rejects his request for more troops. If he were really trying to dictate policy, he’d have given a different answer. But we don’t think Gen. McChrystal should stay to implement a Biden war plan either. No commander in uniform should ask his soldiers to die for a strategy he doesn’t think is winnable—or for a President who lets his advisers and party blame a general for their own lack of political nerve.

Good column from the Wall Street Journal
