Male - ChristianObama Aide and Fox News Bias
This is hilarious. After blasting Fox News for being “distorting the truth” about the Health Care debate, and moments after laughing “Of course they are” to a question of whether Fox News is biased, White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett had a totally different reaction when asked whether MSNBC (about which another Obama official once gushed: “At the White House, as we always like to say, we love MSNBC”) is also biased.
Suddenly, she didn’t want to talk about whether or not a news outlet might be biased: “Well you know what? This is, this is the thing. I don’t want to; actually I don’t want to generalize all Fox is biased or another station is biased.”
But that’s not the best part. It’s when Jarrett claimed that “the Administration is going to speak ‘truth to power’” here. What?!?
Since when is speaking truth to power defined as the most powerful man in the world trying to intimidate a cable news network? Isn’t speaking truth to power when the little guy stands up to the big guys? Obama’s dog-washer has it backwards here. If anything it is Fox (the little guy) that is speaking truth to the President of the United States and his Administration (the very essence of power).

Like I've said before: through a deep and persistent incompetence, the Republican party has lost both congress and the presidency. Not wanting to be outdone, the Democrats are trying their best to lose them both even faster.
"Years ago, I mean decades ago, I read a quote about politicians performing quid pro quo favors for campaign cash, and whether or not we could prove it. The guy who was quoted opined that it was difficult to determine. He noted that in many cases, the payoff might not take the form of votes on legislative action -- those might be detectable, and so are avoided -- but could take subtler forms, like the question that is never asked at a hearing.
The media's doing a terrific job of not asking questions it doesn't want to know the answer to. It doesn't ask these questions in bulk, and the great volume of questions it doesn't ask makes it cheap to not ask questions.
And it passes these savings on to you, the customer." Ace

I think you underestimate the power of cable. I think that in general most people pay more attention to the news than to the president.

My most recent faith struggle is not one of intellect. I don't really do that anymore. Sooner or later you just figure out there are some guys who don't believe in God and they can prove He doesn't exist, and some other guys who can prove He does exist, and the argument stopped being about God a long time ago and now it's about who is smarter, and honestly, I don't care. ~ Don Miller Blue Like Jazz

Looking for who is more credible: a liberal politician or a liberal news network?

get rid of the liberal in that and just make it about politicians and news and you'd have more universally true statement.

This is classic. At the 1:00 mark she's all but screaming "Retreat! Retreat!"
