News Hounds Media Digest #190

Deborah: After Father Michael Pfleger visited Obama's church on Sunday and did a flamboyant routine mocking Hillary Clinton, FOX News did their best to spin the incident into a major scandal.

Bill O'Reilly had one of his anger episodes because Scott McClellan granted his first book interviews to NBC. The Today Show interview was hard enough for BOR to swallow but then McClellan dared to choose Keith Olbermann's Countdown instead of The O'Reilly Factor for his evening venue.

Ellen: FOX News regular Dick Morris told Sean Hannity that the black community is fundamentally anti-white. Hannity, who fashions himself as someone who cares about racial issues, did not object.

 FOX News spent a lot of time disparaging Scott McClellan as a disgruntled ex-employee trying to cash in by turning against his former employer now. So why has FOX News hired Dick Morris as a "former Clinton advisor" instead of holding him to the same standard?

Melanie:
•  Fox's "business news" anchor compares George W. Bush to - are you sitting down? - Abraham Lincoln.  Fox is drinking its own Kool-Aid.

•  Saturday night, immediately after the DNC rules committee decided how to handle Florida and Michigan, Fox, which claims to be the place to go for election news,  was on tornado watch.

Pricilla: Obama gets no slack when he misspeaks, as evidenced by the right wing's smirks about Obama's recent comments regarding an uncle liberating a concentration camp in World War II.

When the road gets rocky for Republicans and their legislation, Fox is there to smooth things out. As the conduit from the White House to the public, Fox is willing and able to "explain" to its audience the virtue and practicality of the Republican "brand."
