Wallace Takes Fellow FNCers "to Task over Obama Video

| | Comments (1)

Via Think Progress, "Fox News Sunday," moderator Chris Wallace was on "Fox and Friends" this morning and objected to what he called "two hours of Obama bashing," after the morning hosts repeatedly played video of Obama's now infamous "typical white person" interview without playing the quote in full context. Wallace:

Hey listen, I love you guys but I want to take you to task if I may, respectfully, for a moment. I have been watching the show since 6:00 this morning when I got up, and it seems to me that two hours of Obama bashing on this typical white person remark is somewhat excessive and frankly I think you’re somewhat distorting what Obama had to say.

You can watch the full video on Think Progress' website.

MoveOn.org, who has endorsed Obama, is also circulating a petition for what they consider unfair attacks against Obama:

FOX is a Republican mouthpiece, not a legitimate news organization. Real news organizations must reject FOX's smears of Barack Obama, not parrot them and distract Americans from the pressing issues of the day." The more signatures we deliver, the bigger the impact—so please tell your friends.

  1. And if it wasn't for you and Keith Olbermann, we likely wouldn't even know about this, except, of course, those who actually watch Fox and Fiends, a bad habit to which no one admits. This is the sort of thing the FCC should be screaming about, and not permit Faux to call themselves "news."
