Fox News All-Stars Page 1 325 of 1000 DOCUMENTS Fox News Network June 4, 2010 Friday SHOW: FOX SPECIAL REPORT WITH BRET BAIER 6:40 PM EST Fox News All-Stars BYLINE: Bret Baier, Charles Krauthammer, Fred Barnes, Juan Williams SECTION: NEWS; Domestic LENGTH: 2309 words (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: We are going to cut through any bu- reaucratic red tape, any problems that we've got, and we will fix the problems that have been identified, and we'll keep on coming back until we have dealt with an unprecedented crisis. This report is sign that our economy is getting stronger by the day. I want to emphasize that most of the jobs this month that we're seeing in the statistics represent workers who have been hired to complete the 2010 census. (END VIDEO CLIP) BAIER: Two stops today. President Obama today earlier in Maryland talking about the unemployment rate dropping to 9.7, but the markets tanked on that news because almost all of the jobs were created were for the census, as he talked about. He's down in the Gulf region right now and he has cancelled a planned trip to Australia and to Indonesia because of the Gulf oil spill. He is dealing with a lot. How is he doing? Let's bring in our panel, Fred Barnes, Executive Editor of "The Weekly Standard," Juan Williams, news analyst for Na- tional Public Radio, and syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer. Not to mention, Fred, that the national debt is increasing, over $13 trillion. $5 billion a day this administration is adding. FRED BARNES, EXECUTIVE EDITOR, "THE WEEKLY STANDARD": Bret, that is real money. That's for sure. Look, President Obama is great when he is talking about hope and change and the future and his promises and what the policies will lead to in the glorious days ahead. But when it comes to dealing with the problems in front of him now, particularly the ones he hadn't expected the oil crisis, the fiscal and debt crisis with the deficit building up at a fast pace, and then high unemployment, the president has trouble dealing with those things and he would rather talk about the agenda. The oil crisis, what is the message there according to the president? We have to pass cap-and-trade. I don't think that is really the message. And the unemployment numbers today were horrible. Only 10 percent were private jobs in the job growth, and a good number of those were probably from the clean up down in the Gulf of Mexico and so are not permanent jobs. Everyone knew that was a setback and it will get worse next month when many of these census workers are let go. What is needed by a president is effective crisis management, and dealing with today's problems even if you haven't planned on it, debt crisis and oil spill and high unemployment. You have to deal with it effectively and concentrate on it. President Obama doesn't do that well. Page 2 Fox News All-Stars Fox News Network June 4, 2010 Friday BAIER: Juan, Robert Gibbs was asked yesterday about analysts who are out there saying his legislative agenda has been hijacked by the Gulf oil spill. And he responded that they have been counted out many times before. But this is a low point for this administration, correct? JUAN WILLIAMS, NEWS ANALYST, NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO: I think it's a low point in this regard, Bret. When you look at the political prowess of the president, and remember he has been a popular president, especially when he came in and among Democrats remains fairly popular, I think right now Democrats are starting to question his com- petence and his ability. His ability as a political player in terms of the job offers to Sestak and the like, and the fact that you know what, it didn't work. Even if you thought, well, I don't know if it's illegal or legal, it didn't work. Sestak won the race, Romanoff, the guy from Colorado, went his own way. People aren't responding. And the question is then does he have the muscle when it comes to that legislative agenda on the Hill? In general, though, you have seen pieces in "Politico" and the "Washington Post" talking about what happened to the great competence of the team that so ably ran the 2008 team and surprised America and took an African-American can- didate to the presidency, an astounding achievement? And it seems to be that people feel you know what, when it comes to crisis management, and this is what Fred was say- ing they don't take it that seriously. They didn't the Gulf oil crisis as their own initially. They see the legislative agenda as their own, but they think, you know, well, we didn't anticipate this happening. It's like, you know, we knew we came into an economic crisis. That was hand-delivered to us. We didn't make it. We didn't make the wars hand-delivered to us. We will deal with it. But they don't inspire confidence, or is it the focal point of their energy in terms with dealing with crisis. And I think that is putting this general sense that it may end up that David Broder wrote this week in the "Post" it becomes a Jimmy Carter style Iranian hostage crisis for President Obama. BAIER: Charles, those small things, no matter the perspective, but the things left to fester become big problems. CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER, SYNDICATED COLUMNIST: They do, and they all add up. And I think what has happened to the president is that the persona he constructed in '07, '08, he was a rock star, shooting star, a guy, you know, hope and change. As we just heard, a man who rocketed, ended up in the presidency no one would have ex- pected. That is the persona I think which has been completely undermined in the last couple of months. Look, he was going to be Mr. Clean. He's going to throw the money changers out of the temple. He was going to have a new kind of politics, none of the special interest. Over a year we saw the backroom deals on healthcare, the Louisiana purchase, all of that. And if you say that was Con- gress, well, now we get the stories of the White House with Sestak, Romanoff, all of this sort of semi-sleazy stuff. Then his other attribute as the candidate was that he was the super, Mr. Fix-it, a man of the mystical powers. He wasn't only going to fix our economy and make everyone happy and put chicken in every basket, which every candidate prom- ises, he was going to heal the planet and make the oceans recede. And now he can't close a spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Look, I never believed any of this rubbish but a lot of people over the age of 15 did. And now the guy who is going to walk on water is powerless today. He can't walk on water, the Gulf of Mexico ducks can't walk on water. He looks po- werless. The last element was he was a transcender, a uniter, no blue or red states, we're all the United States of America. He's been hyper-partisan unlike any other administrations in the recent years, and all of the elements of his persona has been undermined. He's now ordinary and helpless at the same time. BAIER: Last thing, Fred. 2008 in February, President Obama in New Orleans said about President Bush's handling of Katrina, we can talk about a trust that was broken, the promise that our government will be prepared, will protect us, will respond in a catastrophe. BARNES: I bet he wishes he hasn't said that now. Look at how much more fortunate he is than President Bush. Presi- dent Bush had to deal with a completely feckless mayor of New Orleans and dud for governor of Louisiana. Page 3 Fox News All-Stars Fox News Network June 4, 2010 Friday And who does Obama get to deal with? Bobby Jindal, a forceful, strong, smart young governor of Louisiana. Yet it took Obama two weeks, two weeks to approve the sand berms that Jindal wanted to build to block the oil from reaching the marshes. That is not decisive leadership. WILLIAMS: Let me say quickly that I think his enemies and all the critics are feasting on him right now, but I think you will see that he has the capacity to bounce back from this once he gets the messaging straight and communicates well to the American people about things that I think he may care about, but he is just too cool and analytical at the moment for the situation. BAIER: Heal their pain. KRAUTHAMMER: He'll never walk on water again. WILLIAMS: You're mocking him. You just enjoy mocking the guy. BAIER: Go to the homepage at FOXnews.com/specialreport. Let us know what you think the president's biggest prob- lem is. There is our only poll on the right there. And next up, the Friday lightning round, your choice online topic of the week. BAIER: Every week on the FOXnews.com/specialreport homepage, you, the viewers, vote on the topic we should dis- cuss this, during this, the Friday lightning round.

  • Chapter 4 the Right-Wing Media Enablers of Anti-Islam Propaganda
    Chapter 4 The right-wing media enablers of anti-Islam propaganda Spreading anti-Muslim hate in America depends on a well-developed right-wing media echo chamber to amplify a few marginal voices. The think tank misinforma- tion experts and grassroots and religious-right organizations profiled in this report boast a symbiotic relationship with a loosely aligned, ideologically-akin group of right-wing blogs, magazines, radio stations, newspapers, and television news shows to spread their anti-Islam messages and myths. The media outlets, in turn, give members of this network the exposure needed to amplify their message, reach larger audiences, drive fundraising numbers, and grow their membership base. Some well-established conservative media outlets are a key part of this echo cham- ber, mixing coverage of alarmist threats posed by the mere existence of Muslims in America with other news stories. Chief among the media partners are the Fox News empire,1 the influential conservative magazine National Review and its website,2 a host of right-wing radio hosts, The Washington Times newspaper and website,3 and the Christian Broadcasting Network and website.4 They tout Frank Gaffney, David Yerushalmi, Daniel Pipes, Robert Spencer, Steven Emerson, and others as experts, and invite supposedly moderate Muslim and Arabs to endorse bigoted views. In so doing, these media organizations amplify harm- ful, anti-Muslim views to wide audiences. (See box on page 86) In this chapter we profile some of the right-wing media enablers, beginning with the websites, then hate radio, then the television outlets. The websites A network of right-wing websites and blogs are frequently the primary movers of anti-Muslim messages and myths.

    Conversations with Bill Kristol Guest: Charles Murray, scholar, American Enterprise Institute Table of Contents I: 0:00 – 5:55 II: I: (0:15 –) KRISTOL: Hi, I’m Bill Kristol. Welcome back to CONVERSATIONS. I’m very pleased to be joined today again by Charles Murray, scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, author of many important books: Losing Ground – when was that? 1984? – The Bell Curve in the mid-90s, and Coming Apart, about four years ago. I would say, I’m not sure there’s a social commentator who’s written as many important books over the last few decades as Charles so it is a great pleasure and honor to have you here. And you’re going to explain the current moment, right? MURRAY: With that kind of introduction I suppose I’m obligated to. KRISTOL: Exactly right. So what – this is the very beginning of August of 2016. People are – someone wrote something in the New York Times yesterday giving you credit for presciently seeing that Trump or Trumpism, I guess, was going to happen. Did you see it, and what do you make of it? MURRAY: I knew that we were going to have a problem with the white working class, and actually, I guess I’ll blow my own horn and say in 1993 for The Wall Street Journal, I had a long article called “The Coming White Underclass.” If you go back and read that – but this is not rocket science, it simply was the trend lines for out-of-wedlock births among working-class whites at that point had been spiking upward.

Jack Markell Mr. Roger Ailes Delaware Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President Chair Fox News Channel Gov. Martin O’Malley 1211 Avenue of the Americas Maryland Vice Chair New York, NY 10036 and VIA EMAIL Nathan Daschle Executive Director Dear Mr. Ailes, For the first time in history, your organization is openly and proudly supporting the defeat of Democratic governors with an unprecedented political contribution of $1 million to the Republican Governors Association. In fact, your company provided the single largest corporate contribution to our opposition. In the interest of some fairness and balance, I request that you add a formal disclaimer to your news coverage any time any of your programs cover governors or gubernatorial races between now and Election Day. I suggest that the disclaimer say: “News Corp., parent company of Fox News, provided $1 million to defeat Democratic governors in November.” If you do not add a disclaimer, I request that you and your staff members on the “fair and balanced” side of the network demand that the contribution be returned. As you are well aware, the stakes could not be higher in the 37 gubernatorial races this election cycle. Your corporation and your allies know well that these races have grave and substantial implications for Congressional redistricting. In fact, your allies in the GOP hope to change our election map for decades by electing governors who will redraw 30 seats into Republican territory.

    Mount Rushmore: The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy Brian Asher Rosenwald Wynnewood, PA Master of Arts, University of Virginia, 2009 Bachelor of Arts, University of Pennsylvania, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia August, 2015 !1 © Copyright 2015 by Brian Asher Rosenwald All Rights Reserved August 2015 !2 Acknowledgements I am deeply indebted to the many people without whom this project would not have been possible. First, a huge thank you to the more than two hundred and twenty five people from the radio and political worlds who graciously took time from their busy schedules to answer my questions. Some of them put up with repeated follow ups and nagging emails as I tried to develop an understanding of the business and its political implications. They allowed me to keep most things on the record, and provided me with an understanding that simply would not have been possible without their participation. When I began this project, I never imagined that I would interview anywhere near this many people, but now, almost five years later, I cannot imagine the project without the information gleaned from these invaluable interviews. I have been fortunate enough to receive fellowships from the Fox Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania and the Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia, which made it far easier to complete this dissertation. I am grateful to be a part of the Fox family, both because of the great work that the program does, but also because of the terrific people who work at Fox.
