Fox News Starting To Blame Obama For Louisiana Oil Spill Disaster

[meegbear]

Here we go! I haven't seen much partisanship on the Fox News airways - yet - but Fox Nation is gearing up for the inevitable exploitation of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico so as to attack President Obama. The first strike just happens to be the top headline on Fox Nation: Heckuva Job? Obama Scrambling After Week-Old Oil Spill

It's a lengthy article, lengthier than the usual one- or two-paragraph excerpts I'm used to seeing on that website.

Fox Nation's editor helpfully added links to other anti-Obama stories about the oil spill at the bottom of the page.

1. note closely that they're not going against offshore drilling, which is the ultimate and proximate

cause

therefore, they can only restrict themselves to the "response" rather than his support for drilling

2. Too bad none of their readers with get the "Heckuva Job" reference.

Fox News tried to suppress that little nugget back in 2005 and then called out the rest of the media for "bias" when they didn't get their way.:rofl:

3. think they will blame Obama for their huge loss of viewers also?

And of course they are comparing Obama's response to Bush's response to Katrina.
'nuff said.

4. That said, I wish Obama wasn't giving them so much to work with.

He's not turning away relief trucks the way W was, but Obama has clearly been dithering on this.

5. So was Imus this morning.

I don't normally listen to that douche but I was flipping through the stations and caught it.
