A little humor to begin the day, the administration is watching Fox News

And someone at the LA Times noticed:

Oh, my! Look what cable news channel Obama's own Justice Dept. chooses to watch when Big News breaks

Here is President Obama's Attorney Gen. Eric Holder offering more details about the capture and interrogation of Faisal Shahzad, the accused Times Square bomber, from the secure confines of the briefing room of Holder's own Justice Department in Washington.

The briefing room's main TV's are tuned to the top-rated cable news channel. Trouble is, that's the dreaded Fox News Channel that Obama aides including David Axelrod so weirdly picked a fight with last fall, castigating it as an alleged broadcast arm of the party of Abraham Lincoln, who never even owned a TV.

You have to go to the link to see the big picture.

Pushing Mao, Squashing FOX News

White House communications director Anita Dunn's quote from chairman Mao is very troubling when reviewed in context.

Columnist Johnathan Gurwitz does a great job of putting it into context in this piece -- and he illustrates the parallel mindset with the White House's campaign against free press and reporting of news in its attack against Fox.

He puts it so clearly one can't help but step back and think "What the hell!?!? This can't be true!"

But it is. White House communications director Anita Dunn, in a speech at a college, is quoting Mao's words of "inspiration" for his cause. Words used to further the takeover/suppression/death of millions of Chinese people.

She had so many great leaders to chose from -- leaders who did great things under tremendous adversity; from Martin Luther King, Jr. to Vince Lombardi, to Churchill to Jesus. Not to mention Abraham Linclon or Ghandi. And these are just the ones off the top of my head.

But she chose Mao. And she and her boss are going after a free press.

This is not the change anyone who values a free society voted for.
