Last night on The Daily Show, John Stewart poked fun at the on going battle of The Presidency versus Fox News. When Mark Finkelstein came to our class the other day to discuss conservative, independent news, he touched on the subject, as well.
Huffington Post published a small blurb about the Daily Show skit citing a quote from White House Communication Director, Anita Dunn. Dunn said:
It's astounding the White House cannot distinguish between news and opinion programming. It seems self-serving on their part.
Finkelstein said though he could argue that CNN is somewhat bias, he feels as though discrediting a news source is unethical and unprofessional.
I agree. The President has every right not to watch Fox News, but to allow his team to make public statements encouraging citizens to stay away from a particular news station is petty.
Hopefully, this feud will end before someone gets hurt.
