Watch White House Spokesman Take A Swipe At Fox News Over Its Biased Planned Parenthood Coverage

Don’t you just love it when Democrats call out Fox for what it is? Today, White House press secretary Josh Earnest didn’t actually say Fox News is biased but he got the point across very nicely nonetheless.

As the video below shows, Fox News White House correspondent Kevin Corke deliberately needled Earnest about his description of the Center for Medical Progress’ sting videos, designed to take down Planned Parenthood, as deceptive and misleading. Earnest’s response was priceless.

CORKE: You mentioned "grossly misleading," "partisan"… "ideological." You even said that there have been impartial observers who have raised questions. Who are these impartial observers to whom you refer and can you understand why there are so many American people who feel like their voices should also be heard here at the White House? Impartially speaking, there are people, whether they be Democrats or Republicans, who feel that what has been revealed in the videos is grotesque at a minimum and if not criminal, worse.

EARNEST: That’s why I’m pointing out to you that the New York Times has described the release of these videos as a campaign of deception and the Mercury News –

CORKE (interrupting): You’re not calling the Times impartial, are you?

EARNEST: Of course I am, Kevin.

CORKE: Josh, I mean, seriously, you can’t say that the Times is impartial about all things vis-à-vis Planned Parenthood. I’ve never seen them criticize Planned Parenthood for anything, and yet you’re saying that they’re impartial, somehow.

EARNEST: I’m going to resist the urge to raise questions about partiality of any news organization in this room, particularly in the context of this discussion.

Touché.

Okay, Fox News has been exposed for what it is but the threat it poses to America utilizing the exploitation of the apathetically ignorant amongst us continues.
What do we do to eliminate this threat?
Any ideas?

Well done. And long overdue.

The Fox “News” suits hold meetings and send internal emails to these mouthpieces prior to going on the air.

The fourth-rate, overpaid suits are 1,000 percent responsible for all content that is aired at this phony channel.

Snippet questions coming down the pipeline at the debate:

1. Planned Parenthood defunding
2. Illegal immigration/border
3. Iran nuclear deal
4. Healthcare
5. Jobs/economy
6. Energy/oil pipeline
7. ISIS
8. College education

The only thing that would’ve been better is if Earnest had quipped, “You know, I really shouldn’t be answering any questions from you since this briefing is intended for legitimate news organizations—not party propaganda machines. But since I strive to be fair to anyone who asks questions, I’ll respond—but only if you agree not to interrupt me as I do so.”

Show some more of that every time a Faux correspondent asks a obviously biased question. Good for you Josh.
