‘Objective’ Adam Housley Takes A Cheap Shot At Obama

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on January 13, 2015 · Flag

Fox reporter Adam Housley made a snarky dig about President Obama’s decision not to attend France’s unity march.  So much for that division between news and opinion pages Fox loves to tout. Again.

On Monday, Housley tweeted: “(White House Press Secretary) Earnest: “I don’t know how much of the Paris march the President watched.” Do you think he was switching back and forth between the game?” (my emphasis)

One of Housley’s followers tweeted back, “My question is what difference does it make? Did the French president come here after 911? Stay home & take care of business.”

Housley answered, “Actually he did,” about the French president coming here. I noticed Housley didn’t say anything about what difference it would have made had Obama gone.

Housley is supposed to be an objective reporter on Fox. You know, the kind that Fox claims doesn’t engage in editorializing. And while this isn’t strictly editorializing, it certainly sends a certain message, don’t you think?

Short version of Joseph West: When it comes to Fox, Obama is damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t.

Calling Housley a reporter is a stretch. High school students studying journalism do a better job than this aging, third-rate “reporter.”

NOTE TO HOUSLEY

Tamera picked the wrong man to marry.

Who do these FoxNoise nitwits think they’re fooling? If Obama had gone to Paris, they would’ve attacked him for going. Going into FoxNoise attack mode, we could’ve probably expected something along these lines………..“Well, there he goes again. Showing all this so-called empathy for foreigners but did the President1 go to Fort Hood when our2 soldiers were massacred3 by a Muslim terrorist, whoops, not according to the President1. Or when that jihadist attacked New York City police with hatchets, did the President1 make so much as a call to the police officers who were injured in the line of duty? But, he has plenty4 of time to go flying off to France—and he’ll probably take Michelle and the girls so they can enjoy a vacation at taxpayer expense, of course—to allegedly show solidarity for foreign5 victims of jihadists. We’re FoxNews—we report so you can decide.”

Note about all the numbers in the above. I don’t really know how to properly format on this site (beyond the bold and strikethroughs) but this little mock-up FoxNoise report really deserved a bunch of “stage directions” but that would’ve really made for major clutter. So, if you wish, read the following stage directions and then go back and reread the “news story” as it would likely SOUND from one of the FoxNoise hacks.
1—Indicates a slightly sarcastic tone; you can virtually see the “air quote” marks being made.
2—Indicates a slightly louder volume, to emphasize the word for the right-wing audience
3—Indicates an appropriately exaggerated alarmist tone;
4—Indicates a tone that would be accompanied by a major eye roll; you can almost hear the eyes rolling
5—Indicates another louder tone, but also exaggerated to suggest shock

This whole ginned-up brouhaha is entirely an obsession of Beltway media, who apparently have no other news going on. Reporter after reporter actually in France has said nobody there is the least bit upset about it. The French do have more important things to worry about.
