Sarah Palin & Fox News ridiculed the White House Christmas card … saying that it wasn’t traditional enough. Turns out, past Republican White House Christmas cards have been just as non-traditional.
I love it when Rachel Maddow shows how pathetic the Fox News machine is.

Although I believe it's dangerous for a sitting president to question the objectivity of a news organization, I have to agree with President Obama's comments about Fox News in his recent interview with Rolling Stone.
The golden age of an objective press was a pretty narrow span of time in our history. Before that, you had folks like Hearst who used their newspapers very intentionally to promote their viewpoints. I think Fox is part of that tradition. It is part of the tradition that has a very clear, undeniable point of view. It's a point of view that I disagree with. It's a point of view that I think is ultimately destructive for the long-term growth of a country that has a vibrant middle class and is competitive in the world. But as an economic enterprise, it's been wildly successful. And I suspect that if you ask Mr. Murdoch what his number-one concern is, it's that Fox is very successful.
