I'm all about the first Amendment

This whole Fox News thing is like a scene from the 1780’s. How can the White House really openly criticize a legitimate news outlet? In what way is that going to alleviate tension? It’s almost as if the White House is forgetting that it needs the media to push it’s agenda on the public in the first place. At this point it almost seems as if the White House should take a page out of George Steinbrenner’s book and just start their own television network. Then they could cut out the conservative pundits that are always close-mindedly unfairly attacking their policies and directly indoctrinate the public.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not really on either team here. I’ve never taken one of those “political compass” quizzes on facebook, but I’m pretty sure I’m more liberal than Fox News and less liberal than Obama. In Provo people think its cool to compare Obama to Hitler and Stalin for some reason so I feel tame in comparing him to Chavez, because really, trying to quit the media is a really naughty thing to do. What would I like to see the administration do? Apologize, and just accept that you can’t please everyone.
