# 1 is a winner.

#2 is a close second, only because Uncle Ted is no longer a live target.

#1 is especially a winner since I saw that the White House has made the declaration that Fox News is not a news network.

Quote by WH Communications Director Anita Dunn:

Quote
"I think what is fair to say about FOX and certainly the way we view it is that it really is more a wing of the Republican Party...[When President Obama] goes on FOX, he understands that he is not going on -- it really is not a news network at this point. He's going to debate the opposition."

So what she is really saying is that the other news networks are friendly and agree with him.  :)

This is making the rounds, but if you look carefuly at the signatures and bylines etc. they're all American political cartoons. Just not ones that saw national circulation.

Ooops. I didn't look closely enough, and just figured the buddy who sent them to me had looked.

Well, they're good anyway.

I dare say, in #1 that is a pretty good likeness of Brit Hume.

More specifically, the Obama campaign turned down a debate hosted by Fox News.

That's not what he was talking about.  There was a clip that made the rounds yesterday or the day before that of an Obama Administration official talking about Fox presenting opinion as news, etc.

But that's what the cartoon was referring to.  Which was my point.
