Obama 'not losing sleep' over Fox News beef »
Posted By ameliog 1 month, 2 weeks ago in Political NewsIn his interview yesterday with NBC News, President Obama made his first public comments on White House attempts to marginalize Fox News.
He seems all for it.
"What our advisers simply said is -- is that -- we are going to take media as it comes," Obama told NBC's Savannah Guthrie. "And if media is operating, basically, as a talk radio format, then that's one thing. And if it's operating ... as a news outlet, then that's another.
"But it's not somethin' I'm losing a lot of sleep over."

"Not losing sleep over it" my goodness he sent his heavy hitters out there trying to make FOX out as a maverick entity. Believe me, BO knows FOX is a big thorn in BO's side and he knows it.

Another strategic blunder by BO and his cabel of Cook County Crooks. Even ABC, NBC & CBS didn't cower at his attempt to exclude Fox. Afterall they felt they might be next!
This guy is way over his head & getting bad advice. Even the conservatives should lighten up on the BO bashing! Its getting pretty cruel! -

It would appear that the majority of the other news organizations feel Fox is operating as a news outlet since they oppose Obama's planned ban.
"But it's not somethin' I'm losing a lot of sleep over."
Methinks he doth protest too much. If Fox is truly below everyone's radar, why concern yourself at all? -
