With Republicans John McCain and Sarah Palin receiving some return fire from the media for their criticism of the press, it's interesting to note that they are not alone in criticizing the media at this point in the campaign cycle.
In an interview with the New York Times Magazine, Democratic candidate Barack Obama lashed out at Fox News Channel, accusing it of portraying him as an "arrogant liberal" and making people not want to vote for him.
"I am convinced that if there were no Fox News, I might be two or three points higher in the polls," Obama told liberal journalist Matt Bai. "[T]he way I’m portrayed 24/7 is as a freak! I am the latté-sipping, New York Times-reading, Volvo-driving, no-gun-owning, effete, politically correct, arrogant liberal. Who wants somebody like that?"
Echoing Hillary Clinton's infamous "vast right-wing conspiracy" charges, Obama implied FNC is part of a larger problem.
"I guess the point I'm making," he went on, "is that there is an entire industry now, an entire apparatus, designed to perpetuate this cultural schism, and it's powerful.
"People want to know that you're fighting for them, that you get them. And I actually think I do. But you know, if people are just seeing me in sound bites, they're not going to discover that."
Full Times Mag article is here.
Obama and other Democrats have long had it out for Fox News, refusing to hold a presidential primary debate on the network and railing on it repeatedly for not toeing the liberal line like its cable and broadcast competitors.
For its part, FNC and owner Rupert Murdoch have tried to make nice behind the scenes, requesting (and receiving) a private meeting with the Illinois Democrat where Murdoch allegedly promised to get staffers to go easier on Obama in exchange for a "tenative truce."
That truce is apparently over now.
(Sidenote: Murdoch's promise to Obama gathered no criticism from liberal elite reporters.)
Update 21:26. In tonight's presidential debate, Obama reiterated his critique of FNC saying the channel "doesn't very often" disagree with his Republican opponent.

He's probably correct. And if the rest of the media did their job instead of functioning as his campaign workers, he'd be down about ten points.
As for his line, it sounds rather sinister.

October 15, 2008 - 18:51 ET by 10ksnookerHillary would be running in his place.
I agree, what does he really mean that is going to happen to outlets who don't tow the Obamacorn line?
Can you imagine the hoots
October 15, 2008 - 18:58 ET by Chris NormanCan you imagine the hoots of derision of McCain made such a whining baby complaint and the hackles that would be raised if that threat was implied? Typical of his arrogance, that he thinks that no one senses his radical liberal elitism without the "help" of Fox News. I sense we are in for a rougher four to eight years than we even know - could even be more, if you know what I mean - "that silly old outdated 22nd amendment"...

Chiris - Obama is such a baby - Palin has given same number
October 15, 2008 - 19:41 ET by Dee Bunkof liberal interviews as he's given to conservatives. She's had two liberal interviews that were much more in depth and filled with "gotcha" questions and condescension. He's only had two Fox interviews. One with Chris Wallace and one with O'Reilly who both asked him some tough questions but showed him respect. It took him close to two years before he'd do an tough interview. He's chicken to do more and he's been a candidate for much longer.
If Palin and McCain didn't have to deal with the liberal media, they'd be up 20%.
If you left the media completely out of it and just let the candidates debate each other, Obama would have never made it. He's nothing without his adoring media.
Dee, all very true. He's
October 15, 2008 - 19:57 ET by Chris NormanDee, all very true. He's like a spoiled brat, so coddled and praised by his adoring parents, that he throws a tantrum when one teacher gives him a "B" or "C".

If the media was doing their job
October 15, 2008 - 19:08 ET by kch50428"And if the rest of the media did their job instead of functioning as his campaign workers, he'd be down about ten points."
If the media did to Obama what they've done to Sarah Palin, Obama would have never been his party's nominee.
Obama's "low life" associates mean what?
October 15, 2008 - 19:36 ET by wdhorningYou are so right. Also the issues with Obama's past associates is not about "guilt by association," but about his character and his judgement. After all, a president must have extremely good judgement, but if you "pal around" with are too many "low lifes" it brings in to question a presidential candidate's judgement and character.
Just think, what if some KKK supremist, 40 years ago, burned down 3 black attendees' churches (no deaths). Now what if just 10 years ago John McCain closely associated himself for 4 years with this extremist? What would all the MSM be screaming about at the "top of their lungs" but John McCains character and judgement because this.
Instead, Obama gets a "free pass" for doing virtually the same thing, not once, but multiple times he has been involved, closely, with "low lifes" and dangerous people.

I don't think it even goes to "judgement" - that implies he's a just a regular guy who made the mistake of hanging around with some radicals and nutjobs. I think it goes to how radical his political/social philosophy really is. He tries to explain away all these relationships - but it's the preponderence of them all that can't be explained away.

October 15, 2008 - 19:40 ET by pbthinkerThat is so funny, and so true. I can just imagine an interview with him,
Fox News: So, Senator Obama, what kind of car do you drive?
Barack: A Volvo, it's really a nice car, and it's been rated like beyond safe by Consumer Reports. I certainly wouldn't want anything to happen to Michelle and the girls.
Fox News: Have you ever been to Starbucks?
Barack: Oh, I just love a double latte in the morning, it really perks me up.
Fox News: You've lived in some rough neighborhoods, in your past, have you ever owned a gun?
Barack: Oh my God, no. I wouldn't own a gun. Have you ever heard what happens in houses, of people that own guns. Why they kill their children, coming home late from a date, and all that. I love my children too much to own a gun. I can't believe anyone, with a family, would want to own a gun.
Fox News: Senator Obama, thank you for appearing with us today.
Democrats: Stuck on Stupid since 2000.

And how about George Bush? Good heavens, man, what would you do if every major media outlet in the country (maybe the world) had been subjecting you to what he's had to put up with for eight years.

Obambi would NEVER be allowed by his puppeteers to be interviewed in an adversarial situation. Unlike McCain/Palin where those are the only situations available; even Fox.
Obama can avaoid Fox because they have such a relatively small audience
compared to ABC, CBS, NBC. TV being a passive medium, this structural
advantage is huge as oppose to mostly conservative radio being more
active, which is less effective to sway the disengaged middle.

No one, Barack. That's the point.
However, if Fox News wanted to be 100% accurate, they would report that you're a latté-sipping, New York Times-reading, Volvo-driving, no-gun-owning, effete, politically correct, arrogant socialist with terrorists for close associates.

Puh-Leeze!
October 16, 2008 - 19:16 ET by DaMamaGive me a break! Obama is getting a free pass with CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, Newsweek, Time, New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle..........
Fox News is the only news agency to call 'em as they see 'em. From what I read, their description is spot on! He IS an arrogant liberal who has no clue how to relate to the average American. Why people would even consider voting for this empty suit is beyond all reason and common sense.
