Fox News, Watchdog of Freedom

Written By mista sense on Wednesday, July 1, 2009 | 4:18 PM
















That's not The Cable Gamer saying it, that's David Zurawik, of the Baltimore Sun, saying it a blog post today. As he writes:

Two weeks ago, I praised Fox News for being one of the only TV news operations seriously questioning the administration of President Barack Obama as it pushes an agenda of massive social change not seen since Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal.

Whatever the reasons for Fox's tenacity, I said, it is the one channel that seems absolutely committed to being a watchdog on the White House -- a job crucial to any notion of press responsibility. My post was inspired in part by Obama's petulant sounding complaint about Fox made in an interview with CNBC.


And he concludes:

Maybe, it's wishful thinking. But I would like to believe part of the latest surge is the result of Fox performing a socially important press function in not giving the president a free pass to change American life overnight.


I report, you decide!
