FOX NEWS REACHES ACROSS PARTY LINES at DickMorris.com
A national survey shows that 46% of those who watch FOX News “just about every day” are Democrats or Independents as are 50% of those who watch it “several times each week” or more.
Is this why Obama is trying to marginalize FoxNews? Is he trying to prevent his fellow Democrats and Independents from getting the truth, or at least a different perspective than all the other networks? Why does freedom of speech concern Obama?

How is reporting any criticism of Obama "marginalizing" him? Further, can you please demonstrate through linked proof, Bush going after any particular network when he was pres.?

These data (exactly as it appears in the OP link) does not show why dems and independants watch Fox News. This is not reaching across party lines, and it is from Dick Morris.

It proves that people know that they are getting the white house talking points through the other networks when they actually want the truth.
It also demonstrates why Obama's poll numbers are sliding. |

The one that Dick "toe jam" Morris cites is unavailble, and he is an idiot given the way he adds the numbers.

But you're citing a poll by Rasmussen. If it's not from a left-wing outfit, it doesn't count. And if you cite anything from someone the Left doesn't like, then they'll just attack and flame the person. Kinda how they're doing FoxNews.

Attack the message and the messenger but avoid the issue at all costs. Beautiful.
