Tyrant Watch: Presidente Obama Goes After Fox News
In response to the Strongman Wannabe's attack on Fox News as "destructive" to America, Jay D. Homnick writes at American Spectator:
To use the Presidential bully pulpit as a blunt instrument against a news organization, to label its approach destructive, to label its content destructive, that is -- to coin a phrase -- destructive.
Think back to our first clue that Hugo Chavez was an autocrat, bent on subverting those national institutions which did not refract his glory. It was when he came out against various newspapers and television stations, saying much the same things as our own El Presidente.
"This President has again set a bad precedent," Homnick concludes. "When I meet him next, in the polling booth in 2012, I hope it will not be too late to tell him what I think: 'Hugo!'"
