View Full Version : Have we heard from the five Washington Bureau Chiefs yet?
It seems strange that the 5 Washington Bureau Chiefs have been so quiet about all of them getting together in a meeting to boycott the White House.
1. It seems that if the 5 Washington Bureau Chiefs are going against the White House than all that talk about them being in live with Obama is WRONG and nothing more than something made up by the Right Wing Programmers.
2. It seems strange that the story was released on a Friday. The best day to release information to avoid scrutiny.
3. It seems that strange that not one quote from the Washington Bureau Chiefs has been posted by Fox, Drudge or the usual right wing outlets.
4. It seems strange that Fox has flat out lied in the past and the same people keep believing them.
We now have 3 threads started on this subject and it does seem strange the 5 Washington Bureau Chiefs are being so quiet about it when it's their job to announce it.
Are the followers sheep or is Fox right about the boycott and just been lying about the love affair. Both can't be true and my bet is neither is true and never was. :thumbsup:

Why are all the networks reporting the story, then?

Really. Which of the Washington Bureau Chiefs is saying what then?
I know that you posted some comments from Tapper that were pasted into a blog post to make them look like they were addressing this but that's an old tactic that not even a true believer should fall for so I'm assuming that you're not gullible enough to fall for them.
I think that Fox has proven many to be sheep yet again :thumbsup:

1. Toby Harnden, the Daily Telegraph's US Editor, based in Washington DC who wrote “First they came for Fox. Journalists should defend cable network against White House”

2. Tom DeFrank, a veteran Washington journalist and DC bureau chief of the New York Daily News, told politico.com “I can never remember a White House urging news organizations to boycott other news organizations. That strikes me as unprecedented.”

3. David Zurawik, media critic for the Baltimore Sun said. “I see it as bullying a news organization, by the time you get to telling ABC or some other news organization how they should behave to another news organization . . . . Someone should tell them: you’re one branch of government. We’re something else over here. Don’t lecture us about how we should behave towards one another.”

4. CNN's Jack Cafferty recently wrote a piece which began “The Obama White House may have started another war it can't win. His piece included exactly eight viewer comments, all eight sided with Fox and derided theWH.

5. The Washington Post’s Ruth Marcus recently wrote a piece titled
“Obama's dumb war with Fox News”

Fox has proven that they aren't worthy of a seat in the press poolFOX's news programming is every bit as reliable and accurate as any moonbat network. The Baby-In-Chief being unable to take criticism is not license to usurp the Constitution.
Van Jones - check
ACORN - check
Mao worshipping Czar - check
Which of these stories that FOX broke is false?

Wow. You're letting them do this to you again? :banghead:
Lady, not one of these articles can possibly address or support the Fox claims because they all are from before the Fox press release. So why are you bothering to post them? Is this the Wayers tactic in hoping that no one will bother reading the links?
Obviously Zurawik is going to make comments because is the only non-Fox employee quoted and he was made famous when the Republican Governor threatened to exclude him for being biased.
You see, this is how it always plays. Fox makes a claim. Everyone believes it and gets all emotional. There's nothing to support it. Eventually it's proven false or at best case misleading. However, the emotional anchors have already been set.
Fox says get angry and the sheep follow blindly without question. Look at your support. Not one article or word from the Washington Bureau Chiefs to support the article. Not one quote or even a name mentioned by Fox.

All the networks are reporting it. It is obviously true or these orgs under the aegis of these Bureau Chiefs would be denying it. I think the Dan Rather debacle taught many a lesson.
If it is, indeed, 100% accurate, are you in agreement with these actions?
All the networks are reporting it.
Really. Like who and what are the actual Washington Bureau Chiefs saying?
This is basically the same response everyone had when Fox was making the false claims that the liberal media was attacking Palin's family. It was every where but invisible. No one could see it, find it or quote it. :lmao2:
Are you sure you're not being played the fool AGAIN?

What say you?

Please show where the other networks are accusing Fox of making it up, like you are. Otherwise, they're complicit in Fox's lies - so explain that one.

Lady, it doesn't remain to be seen. You've psoted 5 links in an attempt to convince yourself and others that the other networks were reporting it when none of the links lead to a report on the Fox claim.
No networks are reporting it.
No Washington Bureau Chiefs have commented to support the claim.
Fox has lied to you before haven't they?
Fox didn't mention any Washington Bureau Chief by name or quote any of them for a reason. You should know better.

Talk about being a blind sheep :banghead:
Fox has lied to you about how many issues so far? Palin family attacks? $30,000,000 mouse? Tea Party being grass roots?
Come on Smurf.
No one ever claimed Fox was lying about that those in the past but the actual documents, announcements from Fox itself and shear lack of actual evidence to support the claims shows that they were lying to you. You know they did and now your buying it again.
Fox didn't mention any network by name. They didn't mention any Washington Bureau Chief. They didn't quote anyone there. They did this for a reason. Minti was trying to post links to get people to believe but the links had nothing to do with the article.
No one outside of Fox has made this report. Politico claims it's false.
If the Washington Bureau Chiefs had news to report about this they would but guess what, they're not talking about it because it doesn't exist.
Fucking sheep will believe anything if it's on the Internet or on TV. :banghead:

I still want to see where the other networks are denouncing Fox for making it up.

They probably won't although Politico did.
The other major networks didn't denounce Fox for lying about the mouse. They didn't denounce Fox for lying about the Palin family attacks. They didn't denounce Fox for openly admitting to doing PR for the Tea Baggers.
Other news organizations report news and information. They don't spend all bashing others and telling everyone to only listen to them.
There's still not one quote from any of Washington Bureau Chiefs?

Why so specific? I didn't hear anything from the Fox "Bureau Chief."
You're still stuck on those three specific items, aren't you.
