Haters Hate… Critics Slam FOX & Friends For 4 Minute Anti-Obama Clip (Video) …Update: MSNBC Created Its Own Anti-Romney Ad

Yes We Can.
The FOX and Friends crew is catching some flack for airing this 4 minute anti-Obama clip yesterday on their show, twice. But, if you’re like me, I think you’ll enjoy it… thoroughly.
Yahoo reported this on the video:
“Fox & Friends” aired a nearly-four-minute video about President Barack Obama on Wednesday, drawing the ire of critics who say it looked, felt and sounded like a political attack ad.
“We decided to take a look back at the president’s first term to see if it lived up to hope and change,” co-host Gretchen Carlson said while introducing the video.
The video, produced by Fox News associate producer Chris White, attacks Obama’s record on job creation and the unemployment rate–and includes a dramatic, “Star Wars”-esque soundtrack. It aired twice on Wednesday’s show.
“The package that aired on ‘Fox & Friends’ was created by an associate producer and was not authorized at the senior executive level of the network,” Bill Shine, executive vice president of programming at Fox News, said in a statement to Yahoo News. “This has been addressed with the show’s producers.”
The video “resembled propaganda films from 1930′s Europe,” Baltimore Sun television critic David Zurawik wrote after the segment first aired. “And the remarkable thing was the the witless crew on the couch that serves as hosts for this show had the audacity to present it as journalism and congratulate the producer who put it together.”
The left is definitely not pleased.
Meanwhile, MSNBC is holding a ‘get out the vote’ campaign against Governor Scott Walker in Wisconsin.
UPDATE: MSNBC created its own anti-Romney ad in February.

No wonder the clip was not liked – it told the truth. Hope it is run over and over again.

I clicked on the tele just as this “package” was beginning- I felt like they put it on for me! It was riveting! I couldn’t even go get my coffee, I was stuck in front of the tube. All I could think was…..all the lefties are gonna blow a gasket over this one! I was gleeful! Thank you, associate producer Chris White, I hope you get to keep your job!
It was a history and should be described as such, kinda like a mini Ken Burns movie.

What has Obama done that America wants four
More years of?!
I ask this question of democrats. None have an
Answer and ALL are mad at me for the question.
Powder is dry
Hugh commented:
The left doesn’t play by the rules–and gets free passes repeatedly. How about Holder gathering all the pastors of black churches together recently–hmmm? I have no problem with this “checking the record” piece at all–fight fire with fire–and per the prezzie–they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun. We aren’t going to be the only ones playing by the rules going forth–sorry lefties.

Since when does telling the truth become something to rail against. We need mors truth and less bullshiite!
bear commented:
It could have gone on for another 15 minutes with more obamster lies and failures (green jobs, drilling moratorium fraud, fast and furious, Keystone XL, foreign policy, amnesty, czars, etc.). The list just goes on and on.
So, the first reaction of the lefties is to compare the truth with, “propaganda films from 1930′s europe?” One more hitler slur to deflect from the facts. The democrat party is filled with slime.
This nation is truly at a tipping point. We either get rid of the commie’s power, or live through the destruction of America.

Yes We Can thank Obama for gas prices falling. Unemployment outlook is bad, Staycations are on the rise for the Summer, so gas consumption is falling making for more supply than demand.
During a booming economy, more gas is being burned, when you wreck the economy, as Obama has done, gas prices will fall.

I rather enjoyed it. The truth hurts, doesn’t it, lefties?

Who cares, keep attacking. Obliterate Americas enemies
Joe commented:
I have to agree that this piece was out of line. While I agree with the sentiment, it was certainly not “fair and balanced.”
Gary commented:
How dare they throw Obama’s rhetoric and record in his face like that.
FromMissouri2 commented:
Don’t forget Obummer has done 3 things that have really helped out the country.
1. Traffic congestion is down 30% in the top 100 urban areas…see that’s GOOD.
2. Our good neighbors to the south are going home in record numbers…see that’s GOOD.
3. Gun and ammo sales have been at all time highs for 3 1/2 years…..see that’s GOOD.
So, if you think this guy has done nothing to help America…just look at those 3 facts!

Shut up Biden.
Larkin commented:
It’s about time we had some truth-telling from someone in the media.
owl commented:
Just the facts, madam, just the facts.
WOW.
Please send this over to Jonah Goldberg along with the GP chart. Read a really stupid suggestion by him that Romney run against Bush. I wish for Bush everyday but without the DEM Congress of his last 2 years. Blood boils when he says it will not offend anyone.

Tough.

TRUTH HURTS DOESN’T IT. WHAT CRYBABIES ON THE LEFT.

Actually, they lowballed a bunch of those figures I think. Hamburg here in New England is going for nearly $5 a pound and even the store bread is $2.49 a loaf.
