Grayson: Fox News Is "The Enemy Of America"

Outspoken Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson slammed both Fox News and the GOP while appearing on MSNBC Wednesday, saying that "Fox News and their Republican collaborators are the enemy of America."

When it comes to health care, education, even peace, Grayson insisted that the GOP and Fox News are on the wrong side of the issues. They are the enemies of "anything good for this country," he said.

Grayson also seemed to agree with the White House's recent effort to publicly confront the news network. "What you do with a bully is you confront the bully and the bully backs down," Grayson said. 99 percent of all Americans, he added, "have the good sense to ignore them." LinkHere

Obama On White House War With Fox News: I'm Not Losing Sleep Over It

The White House's war with Fox News, which Jason Linkins has helpfully mapped out here and here, took a new, (and perhaps final?), turn Wednesday night. During an exclusive NBC interview, Obama declared he was not "losing a lot of sleep" over it.

The president is asked whether it's appropriate for him to be "working the umps", to say "what is or is not a news organization." Obama's response:

"I think what our advisers have simply said is that we are going to take the media as it comes, and if media is operating, basically as a talk radio format, then, that's one thing, and if it is operating as a news outlet, then that's another, but it's not something I'm losing a lot of sleep over."
