Bozell: NBC,
ABC, CBS, CNN and MSNBC Are Drowning In the Obama Tank, and He's
Complaining About Fox News
Sen. Obama claims the Fox News Channel’s coverage of him has cost
him 2-3% in the polls
ALEXANDRIA, VA –
In an interview for the upcoming New York Times’s
Sunday Magazine, and again in last night’s Presidential debate,
Illinois Senator Barack Obama singled out the Fox News Channel for
scorn for how he feels they are covering his campaign.
Excerpted Sen. Obama quotes from the Times Sunday Magazine:
“I am convinced that if there were no Fox News, I might be two or
three points higher in the polls…. If I were watching Fox News, I
wouldn’t vote for me, right? ... Because the way I’m portrayed 24/7
is as a freak. I am the latte-sipping, New York Times-reading,
Volvo-driving, no-gun-owning, effete, politically correct, arrogant
liberal. Who wants somebody like that?”
MRC President L. Brent Bozell, III:
“Okay, Sen. Obama, we will cede you the point that the Fox News
Channel, by accurately portraying you and your record, has brought
you down 2-3% in the polls. Now it’s time for you to concede that
were it not for NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, Time, Newsweek,
the New York Times, the Washington Post, the USA
Today, the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune,
etc., etc., etc. Sen. John McCain would be up by 20%.”
