I do not think they are attempting to control the media. I think they are attempting to control their image. Fox news is still free to do what ever they want to do.
Actually Murdoch leans so far right he is willing to lose money to promote a right wing agenda. Case in point the New York Post where News Corp loses 73 million a year. Also News Corp is about 2 billion in the hole.
Actually I think their position is tohalt disinformation not punish.
White House Press Pool Stands Up For Fox News
Unfortunately the white house pay czar press conference went ahead after a near revolt of the media so your goal of halting disinformation failed miserably.
A good point was made; obama is demonizing fox news just like he was demonizing the townhall protestors. I just have to wonder who's next on obama's enemies list.
The 'Bama should not have stepped in that pile of dog whump but he is correc t that Fox Newz is like talk radio. Let us get real Fox has Glenn Wreck and Shaun Vannity and an regular peppering of not so open minded talkers and "newzy " oozies...
He's trying to deny white house access as a way to punish fox news reporters.
What Obama and his advisor said are accurate, and the White House attacks on Fox are smart. Now Fox will air these kinds of statements 24/7 and the far right can be safely distracted from the health care debate and the economy.
Well played.
Sometimes the truth hurts.
Fact is....FauxNews is basically right-wing radio on TV. Their line-up is comprised of the same wacko nutjobs that you can listen to on any right-wing radio.
Lacking credibility? "Some people say" is FauxNews
That is what I thought the whole "birther" movement was designed to do:lol:
Mr. Jones signed a statement for 911Truth.org in 2004 demanding an investigation into what the Bush Administration may have done that “deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen, perhaps as a pretext for war.”
You are entitled to your opinion. However, I listen to them, among others. Neither of our opinions matter. What matters is the president of the united states is trying to muzzle a major news network for partisan political gain. Government 101 = not good at all. In the end that's all that matters.
Murdoch's own world agenda has little to do with politics, and everything to do with money. He created FOX News because he saw a niche he could fill. Here in Houston, Murdoch bought out the Houston Post and turned it into a Liberal paper. Why? Because he saw a niche he could fill and make money. Murdoch made his money, and then sold the paper, which was later bought by the Houston Chronicle and shut down.
Murdoch is a money maker. Nothing more, nothing less. If he saw a chance to make more money, he would have made FOX News a Liberal news channel.
How is calling them out for their deceitful propoganda "muzzling" them?
Nobody is trying to take them off the air...but they shouldn't be free to air their lies without being called on it.
That, I would say is a perfectly constructed oxymoronic circle you have constructed there.:roflHow is calling them out for their deceitful propoganda "muzzling" them?

trying to keep them out of the reporter pool would contradict every folly you have posted
Fox new is as legitimate as the Left leaning hacks you masterbate too.
only problem is Fox news is the only one that differs from your warped perception of reality. Quickly run to olberman for a 'realiy dose' to normalize you
So under your rationale....the National Enquirer and all other tabloid garbage equivalent to Fauxnews should be invited?
BTW....never have watched Olberman....sorry.
