Liz Trotta: Obama ‘Encourages’ Foreign Media’s ‘Animosity’ Toward U.S.

November 13th, 2010 9:30 PM

Former NBC and CBS correspondent Liz Trotta contended on FNC’s Fox NewsWatch that the already “very, very liberal” foreign news media are “encouraged by Obama's analysis that everybody in the world hates us,” which “only certifies their animosity towards the U.S.”

Trotta’s assessment came in reply to FNC host Jon Scott, who wondered in regard to President Barack Obama’s trip to several Asian nations: “What about his status with the foreign press? He's gone on this big jaunt to Asia now, seems to be enjoying rock star status over there.”

The exchange from the Fox Newswatch aired on Saturday afternoon, November 13:

JON SCOTT: What about his status with the foreign press? He's gone on this big jaunt to Asia now, seems to be enjoying rock star status over there. Does he work the press better than he does in this country?

LIZ TROTTA: The foreign press is very, very liberal, almost always has been, and of course, encouraged by Obama's analysis that everybody in the world hates us. That only certifies their animosity towards the U.S. And read some of these foreign newspapers, even the Brits, it's the very far left liberal point of view.
