Neil Cavuto’s Make-Believe World About Fox News And The White House

Neil Cavuto joined the chorus of other Fox News hosts yesterday (10/12/09) in whining about White House communications director Anita Dunn’s strong words about Fox News, calling it “either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party.” On yesterday’s Your World, Cavuto used his “Common Sense” editorial segment to hit back at Dunn.

Cavuto: So, I’m hearing an awful lot about how the White House communications director hates Fox, really, really hates Fox…

“Anita Dunn saying… ‘Let’s not pretend they’re a news network.’ …Lately, it’s been her shtick. Her game. So, Ms. Dunn, let’s continue playing it. Let’s pretend you’re serious. Let’s pretend you’re not a tad – oh, I don’t know – thin-skinned. Let’s pretend you get your facts straight on whether we thoroughly reported Nevada Republican Senator John Ensign’s affair, which we did, or only trash Democrats and not Republicans… Let’s pretend you are open to criticism. Let’s pretend you see alternative points of view on health care. Let’s pretend when someone opposes your view, they might have a point… Let’s pretend you have a memory and recall Fox programs like this one disparaging last year’s financial rescues and whether they were pouring good money after bad. Let’s pretend you know history, and recall that a Republican was in the White House back then, and a Republican Treasury Secretary refused to come on this very show back then… Let’s pretend you work for the United States and not some left-wing blog in the United States… And let’s pretend you care about all of our independent viewers and aren’t being just careless about those viewers’ cares… just as we should pretend you’re not overwrought and snapping. Maybe you’re just over worked and snippy.”

Comment: Let’s pretend, Neil, that you don’t interrupt more Democrats than Republicans in your interviews. Let’s pretend, Neil that you have liberal regulars to counter Art Laffer, Charles Payne and Craig Smith of Swiss America. Let’s pretend, Neil, that your Common Sense comments, while sometimes very good, don’t lean mostly to the right. Let’s pretend that Faux is fair and balanced.

Once a week I look for information about Robert Greenwald and his "New Brave Films" ( Rethink Afghanistan ) and I routinely post his Videos on my site PROPHESIZING.COM about Foreign Policy.

Since "Fox Attacks" mentions a Network of WarMongers and some big names in War Promotion like Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly then I add this :

They caused a Big Tragedy, Can they solve the Wars ?? -- The Arrogance of Punditry in the Media - The Absurdity of Great Pundits and Sages - Failed and Botched Wars

This is topmost in absurdity. Some pundits in the Media were very enthusiastic about starting the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars. They were instrumental in promoting war and preparing the public to accept war. They were warMongers and War Promoters. The best Jingos.

Now we see a big tragedy, hundreds of thousands of people have died, perhaps more than a million according to some responsible sources. Several Millions of Refugees, including thousands of Iraqi Girls that work in prostitution in Damascus, the daughters of professionals and entrepreneurs of Iraq.

But this is not the end of the arrogance, turn on a TV Set and the same Pundits that animated the Wars, are the only sages that know the answers to the riddles of war.

The same newspapers, magazines, journalists, columnists, that animated the War, and applauded Mr Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld and their Geniurs, are now the best well informed critics and give new answers to the enigmas of Foreign Policy.

Some of their wisdom is so weird as to suggest new wars and attacks on Iran, North Korea, and perhaps some African Countries that may have some guys from Al-Qaeda.

Some of these pundits are rooting for Super Escalation, without any responsibility for "Collateral Damage", the killing of new millions of Civilians.

Can they solve the problem, if they created it ??

You read their newest articles and you get the impression that they are speaking the same blather and that they perhaps read a new book to see where Afghanistan or Iraq are located, and what is their History.

Because they were very ignorant when they advised War, and they continue being extremely ignorant today, recommending the most absurd solutions to the mess that they helped to create.

Here we see a Great Problem of Lack of Real Intelligence, Real Wisdom and Real Morality.

Some of these people may receive funds from a big corporation with economic interests in War, or may be in a Foundation that is funded by the Military Industrial Complex, or by contractors. In all cases they receive money, benefits and perks for their "Wisdom", "Knowledge" and "Intelligence".

Do people continue believing in those that have miserably failed in their assesments and predictions about the course of war ??
