I read a few online articles that indicate that President Obama has snubbed Fox News on interviews. He did the rounds of just about everyone (inlcuding Univision) yet skipped over Fox News. The articles theorize that it is because Fox News' Glenn Beck called him a racist. I don't know if Glenn Beck did or not, I don't watch him and do my best to ignore him; he's yet another good example of TV News putting on a commentator and calling him a journalist. CNN does it with Lou Dobbs and MSNBC does it with Keith Olberman so no one is innocent. What bothers me is that Obama's administration is looking not so much different from the Bush administration.
Obama came into office promising to run things differently. So far, in my opinion, he has not delivered. This is a perfect example. Bush played favorites with Fox News because he preferred their politics. In this case, Obama is just doing the opposite, snubbing Fox News because he doesn't like their politics. In the end, there is no difference.
While I'm thinking about Obama, what is this business with him telling the Governor of New York not to run in the next election. What business of it is the President's? That decision should be up to the Governor and New York's Democratic Party and the President should stay out of it. Obama has clearly overstepped his bounds in this instance.
