LOL FOX News Headline (Re: Chris Christie)

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/01/10/christie-crackdown-ups-scrutiny-over-obama-scandal-response/

Absolutely comical. And it's the cover story on the Politics page -- not even Opinions. You would think the "Fair & Balanced" Network would attempt to hide their bias even a little.

 

You see that with their audience...i.e. the rightwing bloggers.....to deflect from Christie, they try to bring Obama into the discussion....

because they can't defend Christie.

 

Speaking of Bias

TV gives ´Bridgegate´ 17 times more coverage in one day than IRS scandal in 6 months

I don't think anyone "right wing" would defend Christi since the "right wing" thinks he is no better than Obama.

 

So your upset people aren't defend ing Christie like the noe-Marxist democrats do for Obama?

 

Its a comparison between how the two leaders deal with scandals and wrong doing by their respective administrations.

and it is fair and balanced.

 

No! He showed the Republican way which is to apologise for everything and ask for and expect forgiveness in the knowledge that his followers will continue to follow like sheep, irrespective of his position that over-lorded a deliberate snarl up on what is claimed to be the busiest bridge in America. Notwithstanding that he was quite happy to accept the same snarl up when it was claimed to be a traffic study.

Had the Obama administration done the same, he would probably have faced impeachment proceedings by now, whether he was aware of it or not. And the GOP would be shouting to the rooftops of his inability to control his staff.

 

Good stuff for MRC or the like, but not a major news organization trying to convince people it isn't biased.

 

This is priceless. Was Obama supposed to behead a throng of people just because the right wrongly thought that they were guilty of horrible crimes?

 

They shouldn't defend him at all. He's a progressive wolf in sheep's clothing and should be left to hang there by his own hand and twist in the wind.

 

Don't forget Fast and furious.

 

I mentioned this a day or two ago myself, as I watched the MSM trying to once again carry Obamas water by giving this story major attention. Immedately I thought this might not play out as they had thought it would, as it tightened the focus upon how a leader deals with an issue....and unavoidably will bring into question how some leaders do not.

I don't think the MSM was aiming for this when they circled the wagons around Obama for the umpteenth time...but then again, it's obvious they didn't think it through.

 

Oh God, how dramatic. I used to be a Christie fan, now not so much. But he did take appropriate action as any leader should. He made sure heads will roll and they did. He apologized because he is in charge of his people. Again, leadership. One way you control your staff is to fire those who step beyond the scope of their job description and station. That is a great way to keep others in line by showing exactly where the line is.

All of this has been contrasted to the job performance of Obama, a known liar who leads from behind, is not present enough to understand the problems at hand - let alone accept responsibility for anything, and an expert at dodging anything that resembles a line from which he can be measured by.

 

Maybe he should have. And who is to say Christie won't lose his job if the evidence shows he is lying?

 

They should have been fired for not keeping him informed which is the same thing as lying. Don't you think Obama would want to surround himself with honest staffers? Apparently not judging your response.

 

I would hope most folks, Democrats or Republicans, would allow a fair and honest investigation to take place without making it political, as Democrats did with Benghazi, and see whether or not Christie is lying.

 

he has known about this for months, he made fun of the people who asked questions about it.
but go on and tell me how he is so good.

 

and what in the article is incorrect? what are not facts? reporting the facts isn't a sign of bias. not reporting them is

 

Are you being deliberately obtuse, Cap'n?

People aren't deflecting from this Christie when they point out the difference between how he has handled this situation and how Obama handled Benghazi, etc. Unlike Obama, Christie does more than pay lip service to responsibility and accountability.

I know, it's an inconvenient fact that Obama's fanboys & girls wish to avoid...

 

Who was dishonest?

 

What they're trying to say is
Christie is not responsible for what his employees do

But obama is responsible for what his employees do

 

Sorry partisan but I am not going to waste my time going over the many scandals that have plagued the Obama administration and an AG appointed by Obama who has blocked every investigation into these very well known scandals. But we all know this investigation around Christie won't be blocked by Holder. He'll have a field day with this.

 

Christie doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who would be involved in a revenge plot.


Edit: my news is a day old. I only just heard of Christie's confession.

However, the closeness of those involved certainly raises suspicion. I think it's worth investigating, and and investigation that proves Christie's innocence may do more good than harm. After all, the primaries won't start for another few years... and he is certainly going to run... despite his claims.

Like Obama, I believe that Christie won't be held accountable for everything that everyone in his administration does.

 

I do think the "nothing to see here, look over there at something different" Fox "coverage" is kind of comical. If you HAVE to say something bad about a dishonest Republican administration, what ELSE can you report except allegations about some entirely different matters in an entirely different administration, provided it's a Democrat being attacked. How ELSE should you cover New Jersey politics?
