Obama Slams Fox, Asks if CinC Orders it Played on Military Bases

by Stephan Tawney on July 25, 2008

In which Fox News’ Major Garrett strikes back, saying that if Barack Obama spent more time with the troops, perhaps he’d have a better understanding of what they watch. See, the news stations are played on the bases in rotation. Per the military’s news page, here’s the lineup right now:

  • Tavis Smiley (PBS) 12:30 AM
  • Nightly Business Report (PBS) 1AM
  • Nightline (ABC) 1:30 AM
  • Countdown with Keith Olbermann (MSNBC) 2AM
  • O’Reilly Factor (Fox News) 3AM
  • Today (NBC) 4AM
  • CNN Newsroom (CNN) 6AM
  • MSNBC Live (MSNBC) 7AM
  • Fox News Today (Fox) 8AM
  • Your World Today (Fox) 9AM
  • MSNBC Live (MSNBC) 10AM
  • Fox News Live (Fox) 11AM

So you have 3 PBS shows, 1 ABC show, 3 MSNBC shows, 1 NBC show, a CNN show, and four Fox shows all before noon. To me that hardly indicates some sort of Fox News monopoly, but who am I to question the Messiah?
