Fox News summoned for second meeting about Obama treatment

  • Fearing Obama cannot succeed on his own merits along with 99% of sycophantic media, his stooge David Axelrod met with Fox News exec Roger Ailes 2 weeks ago to apply pressure. A
  • Time blog reports Obama himself met with Ailes and Fox owner Rupert Murdoch last summer to discuss their treatment of him. The 'Soros left' is obsessed with 100% control of media but they needn't worry, as
Rupert Murdoch, is a big admirer of Obama.
  • Just heard audio from Fox wherein Shep Smith tries to convince someone of the benefit of OBAMA PUBLIC OPTION, 7:44PM, 10/6/09, audio played on Michael Savage radio show. Not that Smith would do otherwise given a choice, but his plea was quite impassioned. For those at Media Matters, Dr. Savage merely played the sound and suggested listeners make up their mind (regarding editorial slant).
Politico, 10/6, "Axelrod Meets with Ailes": "At a time of tension between their organizations, White House senior adviser David Axelrod met with Fox News chairman and chief executive officer Roger Ailes two weeks ago, sources tell POLITICO.

  • The two discussed news coverage and the relationship between the organizations.

An FNC spokesperson tells POLITICO that Ailes and Axelrod had a “cordial conversation” over coffee while the president was in town.

  • Ailes is the founder of Fox News. A key part of
  • Axelrod’s portfolio is the president’s image and broad message.

White House officials have expressed pique with what they consider heavy coverage of Obama critics by opinion shows on the news channel.

Noting coverage on cable’s Fox News Channel, the Fox broadcast network declined to carry Obama’s address to a joint session of Congress, or his most recent prime-time news conference.
  • White House officials did not like that, but say it is not their primary problem with Fox."
The left used to be big on tolerance and free speech, but no more. The Soros way is to stifle all differing views.
