Dunn is done

By Hans Nichols

Nov. 14 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama’s outgoing communications director, Anita Dunn, renewed her attacks against Fox News as she praised the “investigative journalism” of Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart and said MSNBC isn’t a biased cable news network.

She criticized Fox for using edited footage of a rally to make it appear that opposition to the president’s health-care plan was bigger than it was.

“The people who exposed this: Jon Stewart of the Daily Show on Comedy Central,” Dunn said yesterday at the Bloomberg Washington Summit. “That’s where you are getting fact-checking and investigative journalism these days.”

She also suggested, when asked, that Obama was aware of the strategy to criticize Fox. “I am not a person who is known for going rogue,” she said.

KN: She gets her news from a comedy show. What a joke.

She criticize a rally in opposition to Obama's health care.

But would never criticize a gay rally.

The same person that freely admits that Mao Tse-tung (mass murderer) is her favorite Philosopher.

CNN was so sick of Lou Dobbs, it gave him an $8 million severance package to leave, The Post has learned.

"They wanted him out," according to a source.

Dobbs, who a source said had a year and a half to go on his $12 million contract, shocked viewers last Wednesday by announcing he was quitting.

CNN boss Jonathan Klein and Dobbs, 64, had been publicly feuding over the kind of reporting Dobbs was doing on his show -- especially stories about illegal immigration and the anti-Obama "birther" movement, which contends the president was not born in Hawaii and is not an American citizen.

KN: Fox news next?

WASHINGTON (AFP) – A CNN correspondent said Monday she was detained byChinese security guards in Shanghai for two hours for displaying a T-shirt on camera depicting US President Barack Obamaas Mao Zedong.

KN: Big surprise.

NEW YORK (CBS) ―

NY,Gov. David Paterson openly criticized the White House on Monday, saying he thought it was a terrible idea to move alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other suspected terrorists to New York for trial."This is not a decision that I would have made. I think terrorism isn't just attack, it's anxiety and I think you feel the anxiety and frustration of New Yorkers who took the bullet for the rest of the country," he said.

Kliphnote: Just why is it the Liberals are afraid of Palin? Is it because they are better than she is? Is it because she graduated from the University of Idaho. Not Harvard or Yale or some other elitist school.

She lives in Wasilla, Alaska, not Boston or New York city or Chicago or San Fransisco or LA. Or some other elitist city.

She has four children. Liberals would never have four children, and not have one with Down Syndrome.

Is it because she is religious? Liberals hate religion.

Is it because she hunts and fishes?

No other person gets more scrutinized and fact check and criticized than Palin.

Palin had more experience than Obama, but the Liberals didn't care about Obama's lack of (it shows) experience, only Palin's. And she was running for Veep, not president.

Joe(who?) Biden has been such a stellar choice.

Maybe it's "Palin is great, but why couldn't be a Liberal"

You know what I think it is? Elitism. They think they are better than she is.

And better than me and most other people.

It's the Palin derangement syndrome.

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."...Teddy Roosevelt
