In what amounts to a political attack ad, Fox News will, from time to time, run a headline for just a few minutes and then take it down. These headlines are hard to catch, but when you see them, there is no mistaking the partisanship. The above headline ran for just a few minutes last night. The AP article that they based this headline on clearly says that it is typical of a new president to shore up their base during their first months in office. The article cites George Bush's first months in office as well. But that doesn't stop Fox News from using this information and framing it in a way that makes President Obama look inappropriately selective in his concern for the country.
Referring to the White House claim a couple days ago that Fox News is a partisan organization, one of the sub-headlines above says, "White House Escalates War With Fox News." The sub-headline below that asks the question, "Appropriate attacks on the Press?" It seems Fox News has answered their own question in the affirmative.
