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:Â MSNBC created its own anti-Romney ad in February.
