"President Obama had a chance last night in an interview with NBC News to distance himself from this controversy. He was asked about the policy of taking on Fox and he dug in. He gave his stamp of approval to taking on a major new network, marginalizing their work and limiting access to him and his administration. For a president of the United States to lower himself and his high office to the level of an FCC Commissioner is very strange indeed. The president said the following, “if media is operating basically, as a talk radio format, then that’s one thing. And if its operating as a news outlet that’s another.....” Every major cable and broadcast news channel operates as both at different times of their broadcast day day. Clearly the public is smart enough to know the difference between news and opinion programming. Why then pick on Fox?"
