Barrack Obama To Appear On Fox News! A Must Watched! by SeanT21(f): 4:42am On Sep 04, 2008
In an attempt at counter-programming John McCain's nomination acceptance speech, Barack Obama has agreed to appear tomorrow on The O'Reilly Factor, a popular programme on Rupert Murdoch's Fox News channel.

The Obama interview comes after months of behind-the-scenes peacemaking between the candidate and the Fox News chief Roger Ailes -- talks brokered by Murdoch himself. Widespread Democratic concern over the Murdoch channel's conservative slant had fuelled a de facto boycott of Fox News by the Obama camp.

Ailes told the Washington Post that Obama's concern during their face-to-face meeting was simple. "I just want to know if I'm going to get a fair shake from Fox News channel," he recalled the Democratic senator saying.

No matter how Obama handles an encounter with Bill O'Reilly, a programme host with a penchant for putting guests on the spot, the interview is sure to distract some attention from McCain's acceptance speech.

McCain embarked on effort to pull focus from Obama's convention speech last week, running a congratulatory advert that featured the Republican nominee speaking directly into the camera to his opponent.

While Obama warms to Fox News, no signs of a similar détente are appearing at the MSNBC network, which McCain and other high-profile Republicans have accused of favouring the Democratic nominee.

McCain's campaign manager, Rick Davis, wrote a letter to the president of MSNBC parent network NBC to protest against what he called "irresponsible" coverage of the Republican candidate.

Ailes described both MSNBC and CNN as "in the tank" for Obama, a notion disputed by executives at both stations.

Their biased propaganda is obvious to any viewer.

I think CNN is pretty fair to both parties. it just does not make sense to support the republicans in this time and day. cool

That only started after the outcry from the public on how the media should not take sides. I have a pro-Obama friend who quit CNN because he felt the network was pushing it too far with it's left leaning logic as pertains the election. He lives in the UK, and confessed that that disturbed him quit a bit.

What nonsense! We have been watching CNN since the 1980's in Nigeria. CNN is known as THE American channel. BBC even takes live feeds from ABC, NBC and CNN. . . . never from FOX! FOX is so far off, they don't even count anywhere outside America. CNN is smack bang in the centre of American politics. Only a FOX watcher like yourself would accuse CNN of bias.

Republicans always accuse any channel outside of FOX of being left-leaning. If you are in the centre of American politics, they still call you left leaning. They are just mad because NBC always expose FOX's ties to the Republicans. . . . the fact is that there is no left leaning channel in America to the extent that FOX is right-leaning. . . .
