NYT: White House Attacking Fox Because It Is News, and That’s the Problem | NewsBusters.org
Is it just me or does it seem that the attacks on Fox News are the last straw for a lot of people?
The cat is out of the bag at the New York Times. The Times has exposed, albeit passively, the true motivation behind the White House’s Fox News attacks. Contrary to the administration’s claims, it is deriding Fox not because it doesn’t report the news, but rather because it does.
It is news, after all, when an organization potentially receiving billions in federal funds aids and abets what it thinks is a criminal organization. It is news when a high-level White House adviser, responsible for the distribution of $80 billion in federal funds, is outed as a communist and a ‘truther’ conspiracy theorist. It is news when the president’s chief communications officer admits her admiration for a murderous dictator.
