Obama's War on Fox Is Liberalism's War on Dissent
by David Limbaugh
Can you imagine the outrage that would have ensued had former President
George W. Bush declared off-limits those media outlets he thought
(correctly) treated him unfairly?
Heck, the left declared him a dictator simply because he led a war
on Iraq that Congress approved. He never tried to shut down his
critics. He rarely even objected to their abuse.
But liberal politicians have been spoiled with mainstream
media favoritism for so long that they believe anything other than
sycophancy is mistreatment. Their selective outrage is as hollow as it
is risible.
In fact, Fox News seems much more conservative than it is
because no other television network over the past half-century has been
anything but decidedly liberal. When the media norm is liberal,
liberals equate liberalism with objectivity and deviations from it as
bias, just as liberals preach tolerance toward all ideas -- except
conservative ones. Their self-delusion is surreal.
