Of course the white house is exactly right. Fox has voluntarily thrown away their right to be treated as any sort of legitimate news organization. I'm sure there are any number of high school newspapers with higher standards.

i just think some are stirring up the fire, and reporting lies and bad blogs on purpose to make us all fight more. they want war. we all need to just take a deep breath, stop the judging and name calling, realize we are not always going to agree on everything, and that is okay. and try to work together as Americans, not black or white, rich or poor, just people. good night!!

But of course MSNBC leaves that out, implying he is white. He just happens to disagree with Obama on some issues, like banning our right to bare arms. So who is making up stories?? To be honest this one even surprised me. I did not think the liberal networks would go this far as to actually cut an interview to hid the race of the actual person, to lie about the content. Wow.

They then spliced it and cut to the anchors again. When you watch the whole video however, as it pans up to the face of the person, he is a young African american man, very handsome, who is very well spoken, I know because he is interviewed. He is hardly a racist. Nor is he a right-wing extremist.

i am going to have to cut this one up too, but bear with me sir,

As far as “creating stories” are you kidding me. Which ones. I can name several, daily on MSNBC. How about the one showing a man with an automatic weapon slung over his shoulder, and the MSNBC anchors saying something like, “here at a town hall meeting on health care right wing activists, and anti-Obama “people”, carring automatic weapons right outside where the president is speaking,” and of course a comment to racism.

In response to the first comment by Mr. Ron Beasley, respectfully sir, there is nothing wrong with having a couple of shows on that are geared to one side. It is better than MSNBC who have no shows for the other side. All liberal, all day. And mean nasty, namecalling, shows. As for Beck, he bags on Republicans just as much as Democrats, he is a Liberatarian.

Oh yeah, Fox TV he slips in there. Someone quickly reading the article obviously is not going catch that he switched channels on us, one of the twitters already misunderstood it, and that Fox NEWS the channel we are talking about through the entire article, DID air the Presidents speech, and every other speech, press conference, burger run, stream line cabinet meeting, etc. the Presidents has had. So you want to talk about misleading…

although there are some differing views on the blog which is refreshing.

For one thing Joe Gandelman the author of the article totally misleads the reader, by talking about Fox NEWS this, Fox NEWS that, and then gives the quote by the white house that says that Fox would not even air the Presidents speech, they aired some Dance show instead.

okay too long.

I came on this site wondering if it was going to be fair and honest, or if it was going to be once again a bag on Fox News and a stereotype that anyone who is a conservative disagrees with President Obama on absolutely everything just because he is Barack Obama. Well guess which one I got.

Remember how discredited CBS was after Dan Rather's fiasco? Low standards of journalism has consequences for the network that airs it—

Fox is reaping what its sown for the last 8-9 years.

An interview by Glenn Beck? Really? While it might be entertaining for some, I think it would probably consist of the president defending himself against flimsy allegations and wild conspiracy theories.

Either that, or Beck would start by crying about his surgery and then ask the president why it happened to him.

Beck is not serious. That a dying paper media is latching onto him is not surprising. The stupidest thing President Obama could do would be to agree to be interviewed by a former DJ or sportscaster, unless it was about music or sports.

I think both sides are acting somewhat juvenile. Fox shouldn't be surprised that Obama wouldn't want to talk to them after the lack of respect they've shown (I'm referring to the personal attacks, not so much the legitimate opposition). I suppose Obama figures he has more to lose by talking to them than by refusing to talk to them. I have to agree – it would be a little too risky. Part of me, though, feels like the President should be willing to confront the opposition. I admit I would sure love to see Obama interviewed by Glenn Beck. If nothing else, it would be very entertaining.

It is gamesmanship -- has been since the primaries. The Obama administration won this face-off, since Wallace decided to focus on it so much and act like a child. I'm sure that there was a reason they had an ACORN rep on. It's just petty. While it will appeal to the several hundred viewers Fox News Sunday has (and it is few, despite it getting free advertising via talk radio every week), others will see it for what it is: whining.

I think this is a good strategy for the administration. FNC tries to walk the line and its viewers support that, but I think marginalizing them in the correct thing to do.

It's similar to what is problematic with Rassmussen. They over sample a particular part of the population. And as others have noted, that part of the population is small, but gets a lot of hands up from FNC.
