I'm glad Joe Klein has a set of brass balls: http://swampland.blogs.time.com/2009/10/23/outfoxed/ 10/27/2009 |

Agreed; the President should be careful not to legitimize the wingnuts. http://swampland.blogs.time.com/2009/10/23/outfoxed/ 10/27/2009 |
What's the alternative?
Political Animal —
WHAT'S THE ALTERNATIVE?.... Time 's Joe Klein is the latest of many high-profile media figures to criticize the White House for daring to consider Fox News a partisan news outlet. Like many of his colleagues, Klein doesn't question the accuracy of the White House's assessment -- no reasonable observer could defend Fox News' ridiculous brand of "journalism" -- but he nevertheless thinks it's a mistake for the president's team to criticize the cable network. Maybe now would be a good time to look at this debate from a different angle. What would Klein or Ruth Marcus or Ken Rudin ...
"Seditious Lies" -- By: Rich Lowry
The Corner on National Review Online —
... Joe Klein counsels White House restraint on Fox, but isn't the White House already restraining itself in not prosecuting Fox's sedition? Klein at one point says Fox "borders on sedition," but apparently its lies actually are "seditious." And Klein uses these words after stipulating that he's going to be "precise." Can someone tell me why the self-styled high-minded defenders of civil discourse in this country so often resort to such bilious nonsense? Of course, Joe Klein is especially given to this kind of ranting lately. Pete Wehner, over to you. ...
uggabugga — Joe Klein is wrong: Klein, writing about the "war" between Obama and Fox News: (emp add) Let me be precise here: Fox News peddles a fair amount of hateful crap. Some of it borders on sedition. Much of it is flat out untrue. But I don't understand why the White House would give such poisonous helium balloons as Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity the opportunity for still greater spasms of self-inflation by declaring war on Fox. (...) If the problem is broader--that Fox News spreads seditious lies to its demographic sliver of an ...

Joe Klein Accuses Fox News Of Sedition
Say Anything —
I agree with his overall point (though not his characterizations of Fox or any of its personalities). Tactically, I don’t think the Obama administration is doing itself any favors with its war on Fox News. But sedition?
Yikes.

I'll bet a lot of people at Fox are not happy that we are having this national conversation right now and kicking over all kinds of rocks. You never know what turns up when you start looking at Fox's record, do you? What angered O'Reilly was Joe Klein's recent column in Time, which really was a classic piece of Village excrement (a la Sally Quinn) about how silly the Obama White House is ...
