What do u guys think about Fox news exposing the Obamas church and rev. Wright?

When CNN and others kept a tight lid on it, after all a lot of us saw the whole scenarios of that church and pastor for at least 6 weeks on You Tube.....before it was brought by FOX news!, why was it ignored for so long,?

I think CNN is a lame outdated newsroom with a bunch of old crusty reporters who bash the same stupid thing over and over!

Do you think FOX news ratings going way up?

The polls are suggesting it:, !

Update:

I don't think I ever watched FOX, I will from now on, good bye Blitzer Dobbs Cooper!

Update 2:

Accounting....I saw the same clip and I have been watching Fox every evening, they just brought to light what has been hushed in the dark, I agree with you there was no bashing at all!

    I think it was the best thing that could have happened and I'm glad they had the ***** to do it when the other stations.They don't back any candidate, as the others do, so they can be completely biased about all of it.

    Because the rest of the media has been in love with Obama since he begain his campaign over a year go. They want him in the White House and any negative story about him will hurt him.

    FOX is the only media outlet that actually reports the news, about Hillary, Obama or McCain. They also have commentary shows, O'Reilly and Hannity and Colmes that analyize the news, but do not report the news. The other outlets have their commentators reporting the news with a slant. They should be unbiased which they are not.

    That]s why you are a Liberal ! You don't want the truth ! Liston to what you are saying . You are condemning a news station for telling the news . Only simple minded people fall for Obama's con game. I think it's hilarious that some people will condemn a news station because they can't handle the truth.

    I only watch FOX News. They are the only fair and balanced, Bill O'Reilly I didn't agree with last night. He said he didn;t think Obama hated America. He is not for him but he wasn't going to bash him.

  • FOX news is terrible...except "redeye". Unfortunately, it's the only American news channel I can get in this part of Asia. At least CNN reports the facts instead of opinions.

    Let's see... so when Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson and that pastor who's endorsing McCain and other white Republican preachers say that 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina are God's punishment on America for its sins of gayness and abortion, that's OK. But when Wright or another black Democratic preacher who's endorsing Obama says that those events are God's punishment on America for its sins of bringing unnecessary wars, being unjust to the widow and the orphan, for using the atom bomb on civilians and for slavery, he's wrong and it all falls on Obama's shoulders?

    I think they're ALL wrong, but that so long as a candidate says, "I disagree with this statement" it's not his problem. But don't dis Wright unless you're willing to dis all the racist, anti-American pastors backing McCain, too.

    The other networks weren't "keeping a lid on it," Faux decided to exploit it and make it look as bad as possible to harm Obama's campaign. I think to me it's more proof that they're not "fair and balanced," they're catering to their right-wing agenda. Then they'll convince you the rest of the media is liberal (oooooh, cue scary monster noises) so you'll only watch Faux. Brilliant marketing, evil intentions.

    I'm glad they brought it out. I don't know yet, what this will do for Obama's chances. Don't think it will make that much difference for Fox's ratings.

    (So much for all that follderall about Obama supposed to be a Muslim.)

    It's the only time I've ever appreciated Fox News.

    Granted the WAY they talk about it is wrong. They do not present the facts in an unbiased way.

    News is supposed to be a reporting of events, not opinion and personal commentary.

    Fox News isn't real news, but...they are the only ones who really pursued this issue and *vomit* I'm grateful for it.

    :(
