I wish we would have just shouted shut the **** up at him. That is pretty rude. And a whole lot of annoying.

Re: Fox News douchebag keeps interrupting Obama

This is the kind of crap that happens when a network has no idea how to do actual reporting.

Re: Fox News douchebag keeps interrupting Obama

They're doing the exact kind of reporting they want to.

their intention is not to report news, but distort it and present it in a way that furthers the conservative republican agenda.

My dad replied to me with this

Seems like the reporter was getting frustrated because Obama was giving a presentation unrelated to the questions. Is that how you saw it?

Granted, Fox News has that doughy jackass Glenn Beck, but c'mon guys. He's the President. You kind of owe him respect. Not only that, constantly interrupting somebody when they speak just reveals your unwillingness to hear what they say. It's rude and childish. I mean, look at his stare in that picture. That's like giving Harold Ford disrespect.

Re: Fox News douchebag keeps interrupting Obama

I give him a year, tops before Obama goes straight up gangsta on Fox News. Articulate black man, huh? The next person who calls him a commie better watch out... I've got a feeling he can throw down old-school Chicago style.

And you KNOW Michelle would have his back; a black woman don't take **** from anyone, but they STAND by their men! Uh huh, I know THAT'S right!

Re: Fox News douchebag keeps interrupting Obama

Actually, after watching the interview in its entirety, I really can't blame the reporter at all. Obama literally skips virtually all of his questions and gives lengthy 1-2 minute answers that are off topic.

That said, it is all just partisan bull****. To quote Baier, the guy who interviewed Obama: "(GWB gave) some of the most visionary and eloquent speeches ever delivered by an American President"

Unfortunately.

Fox News is nothing but cheap sensationalism and yellow journalism. And I say that as someone with right-leaning political views. I don't respect Fox News at all.

It's only balanced in the fact that there are plenty of liberal journalists who are just as dishonest and irresponsible. It doesn't make it right though.

Granted, Fox News has that doughy jackass Glenn Beck, but c'mon guys. He's the President. You kind of owe him respect.

Respect for the opposition? Please, you're not going to get that from either side in today's political climate.

What I saw from the full interview is usually a case of "that question
was bull**** and here's why," I've never seen a journalist interrupt a
President mid sentence with an unrelated straw man argument. I'll
agree that sometimes he was dancing around the answer (of course he's
not going to say his opinion on what's to happen next on a vote that
hasn't even gone through yet, he's not stupid), but a lot of times mid
answer he would be interrupted with a different question.

I saw the Bush/Cheney Fox interviews (and others) and they were never
inurrupted and gave lengthy answers as well. It's just a stark
contrast to what I've seen compared to the last 10 years of
journalists talking to the President.

Re: Fox News douchebag keeps interrupting Obama

being ballsy to the president boosts ratings.

Infuriating the left wing boosts ratings.

Dishing out material every day for the Daily Show to dissect boosts ratings.

Telling all your friends about how stupid this one reporter was on this one channel boosts that channel's ratings.

Here's an idea: Ignore it.

I'm aware of that, but no matter who was interviewing George W., they gave him the respect he deserved as the President of the United States. I've seen videos of Clinton interviews after the whole Monica Lewinski business and they gave him more respect. This is just unacceptable. No matter who you're interviewing, you're supposed to give them the respect they deserve. Unless, of course, you're the king of Super-Liberal giga douches:

As an interviewer, the man should have waited until Obama was finished, and then posed a question that would lead him back to it. He did not need to cut him off mid-sentence like a smug teenager in a religous debate.

I think it's more distort the news so that their sponsors are more happy with them. It just so happens that the Republican party likes giving tax cuts and other things to larger companies. I'm sure if if Donkey Democrat Gay Ice Cream gave Fox a sixty-million dollar deal that you would see a shift in their programming.

But that's just pure speculations with no actual facts...

I should work for Fox News.
