Obama is wrong to attack Fox News

Posted October 27, 2009 11:00 pm

Reading Ann Sanner's article on the White House vs Fox News sparring in today's issue of the Daily Herald, I kept on asking myself, can the White House do that?

Can they take away that right from us?

But what about the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, which prohibits infringing on the freedom of speech and infringing on the freedom of the press?

Can The White House just take the Bill of Rights away from us?

If the White House allows only their own kind views to be forced on us, where is the freedom of free speech? If views critical of the White House cannot be published, where is the freedom of the press?

If Fox News is demonized for being the "communications arm of the Republican Party", why aren't the other networks demonized for being communication arms of the Democratic or Liberal Parties? Aren't we all supposed to have equal rights, equal freedoms under the United States Constitution?

What are they doing to America? What are they doing to America's sacred freedoms?

I am scared, I am scared to death of what is happening in my country.
