In Fox Nation, The Enemy Is Obama

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on September 13, 2012 · Flag

Although Fox Nation claims to be "committed to the core principles of tolerance, open debate, civil discourse, and fair and balanced coverage of the news," their headlines indicate that their bigger commitment is to hate mongering against President Obama. As the United States faces thorny problems in the Middle East, Fox gives you the idea that the only real enemy is President Obama.

Pictures are worth thousands of words:

The one below, captured by the Maddow Blog is similar in that they both overtly suggest President Obama is a traitor.

Maddow's Steve Benen wrote:

I should note that the headline not only seems to accuse the president of being some kind of traitor, it also underscores a striking ignorance -- Libyan officials are mortified by Tuesday night's violence, support the U.S. presence in the country, and have begun making arrests as part of the investigation into the murders. Under the circumstances, having the U.S. president call his Libyan counterpart to reinforce the diplomatic ties is hardly controversial -- it's no different from George W. Bush calling Iraqi leaders after violence that killed Americans during the war in Iraq.

But the truth is neither provocative nor scandalous, so Fox Nation has to give reality a little touch up. At most news organizations, a headline like this would lead to dismissals. At Fox Nation, a headline like this is called "Thursday."

Here's more "Thursday:"
