Why President Obama Is So Mad at Fox News
By Bill O'Reilly
I've been giving this a lot of thought. It doesn't really make much sense for the White House to continue to pound FNC, because every time they do that, more people watch us. Obviously, President Obama doesn't like what we do here, but his strategy is exposing Fox News to more people all over the world.
However, I think there's something else going on.
"Talking Points" believes the president is very angry about being associated with far-left individuals. I mean, the Obama people hated the Rev. Wright situation, the Bill Ayers story, the Van Jones deal and now the latest, Fox News breaking a story about White House communications director Anita Dunn praising the brutal Chinese dictator, Chairman Mao:
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
ANITA DUNN, WHITE HOUSE COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR: In 1947, when Mao Tse-tung was being challenged within his own party, on his plan to basically take China over, Chiang Kai-Shek and the nationalist Chinese held the cities. They had the army, they had the air force. Mao Tse-tung said, you know, you fight your war and I'll fight mine. And think about that for a second. You don't have to accept the definition of how to do things, and you don't have to follow other people's choices and paths, OK?
(END VIDEO CLIP)
In that same June 5 speech, Ms. Dunn praised Mother Teresa for accomplishing great things. So her intent is clear, but using Mao as an example raises questions.
During his 25-plus year reign of terror, an estimated 34 million people were killed in China, many of them in political prisons. By comparison, Hitler's Third Reich is estimated to have killed 21 million people and Stalin's Russia an incredible 62 million. These estimates come from a study done at the University of Hawaii.
The problem Anita Dunn has is that a number of Obama appointees have far-left pedigrees, people like climate czar Carol Browner, science czar John Holdren and safe schools czar Kevin Jennings. Add to that list Wright, Ayers and Jones, and you have a pattern.
There is no question that President Obama believes Fox News is being unfair by reporting all his far-left associations. No other media is doing that.
And I don't think Anita Dunn admires Mao, but I could be wrong. Ms. Dunn has not really explained herself other than to say she borrowed the Mao example from the late Lee Atwater, a Republican consultant.
But the continuing reporting on radical elements within the Obama administration has clearly rankled the president and his advisers. That is what the attacks on Fox News are all about.

HARD TIMES

Shrinkage at the NYT:
The New York Times newsroom is reeling from today’s announcement that the company plans to cut the staff by 100 …
Most of the people at the Times know the paper needs to be slimmed down, but nobody expected it would come in the middle of October. The newsroom is “stunned.”
Advice to NYT bosses: identify the staffers who were the most surprised by this and fire them first. If they don’t know what’s happening in their own office, what good are they as reporters? Meanwhile, according to NYT economics superguru Paul Krugman:
Annoying conservatives is dangerous: they take names, hold grudges, and all too often find ways to take people who annoy them down.Hey, pal. Don’t pin these sackings on us.

How we laughed: Polanski, Letterman and that prize
Andrew Bolt
Noemie Emery singles out three recent events that should cheer conservatives:
Three times in the past several weeks, fortune has seemed to beam on conservatives, in unexpected and unprompted ways. Not that they’ve won much, but their tormentors keep losing. Three days in fall 2009 damaged or neutralized three liberal institutions, whose powers have now been curtailed.
Break number one came on September 26, when Roman Polanski, on his way to collect a lifetime achievement award from the Zurich Film Festival, was intercepted by Swiss police and tossed into prison, pending extradition to the United States, which he had fled 30 years earlier to avoid a jail sentence for drugging and raping a girl of 13 (a crime he had pleaded down to unlawful sex with a minor)…
The second break came on the night of October l. David Letterman started off his opening monologue not with some straying governor’s problem, but with a problem much closer to home. As he told his audience (which laughed and clapped, as it thought he was joking), he had played around with a great many women who were in his employ…
For years--even more so since 2002, when the Nobel Peace Prize committee smiled on ex-President Carter (as a slap at George Bush, it freely admitted)--conservatives have longed in vain to see the Norwegian parliamentarians exposed as a gaggle of partisans.... So picture their glee on the morning of October 9 when they awoke to discover that the committee had contrived to discredit itself. In its ultimate slap at George Bush (who is no longer in office, but why should this stop them?), it had given the peace prize to Barack Obama for doing not much of anything beyond setting a new “tone.”

Obama’s military grows more worried by their chief
Andrew Bolt
Worrying news, and that it’s reported even by the New York Times suggests the alarm is now widespread:
Only nine months ago, the Pentagon pronounced itself reassured by the early steps of a new commander in chief. President Obama was moving slowly on an American withdrawal from Iraq, had retained former President George W. Bush’s defense secretary and, in a gesture much noticed, had executed his first military salute with crisp precision.When Obama’s Defence Secretary now argues with him and his advisors in public, you know how dysfunctional the President’s war strategy is:
But now, after nearly a month of deliberations by Mr. Obama over whether to send more American troops to Afghanistan, frustrations and anxiety are on the rise within the military.
A number of active duty and retired senior officers say there is concern that the president is moving too slowly, is revisiting a war strategy he announced in March and is unduly influenced by political advisers in the Situation Room…
Last week the national commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Thomas J. Tradewell Sr., gave voice to the concerns of those in the military when he issued a terse statement criticizing Mr. Obama’s review of Afghan war strategy.
“The extremists are sensing weakness and indecision within the U.S. government, which plays into their hands,” said Mr. Tradewell’s statement on behalf of his group, which represents 1.5 million former soldiers…
A retired general who served in Iraq said that the military had listened, “perhaps naïvely,” to Mr. Obama’s campaign promises that the Afghan war was critical. “What’s changed, and are we having the rug pulled out from under us?” he asked.
President Barack Obama should not wait for a clear resolution to the post-election complexities in Afghanistan before making his decision on the administration’s war strategy, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said on Monday.===
“We’re not just going to sit on our hands waiting for the outcome of this election,” Gates said.
Speaking to reporters on his plane shortly after attending a change-of-command ceremony in Hawaii, Gates volunteered his reaction to remarks made over the weekend by White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel and spokesman Robert Gibbs.
Those officials, as well as NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, indicated they wanted to wait until questions of Afghan leadership legitimacy were settled, possibly after Afghan election results were finalized by a runoff vote, before making a strategy decision.

Boat that Rocked is hijacked
Andrew Bolt
Daniel Finkelstein on how history was airbrushed from The Boat that Rocked to wipe out a warning against the Left:
(The film claims that) in 1966 (with) British rock at its height, the BBC only played (rock music for) 45 minutes a day (and a) liberal, sassy, loved (pirate radio) station was brought to an end by a stuffy Tory type played by Kenneth Branagh. He did it because rock and pop were rotting the nation’s morals.Interestingly, Branagh starred in another film which likewise airbrushed history to suit the Left’s script - but in this case the issues are far more deadly:
Here is what really happened. During the 1959-1964 government, concern arose about pirate radio stations. But the Conservatives refused to do anything because, as Tony Benn records in his diary, they “had some sympathy with pirate entrepreneurs”.
When Benn became minister of technology after Labour’s election in 1964, he decided to move against the pirates. The main reason, again recorded in his diary, was his total opposition to commercial radio stations.
He tried a number of measures before putting in place the Marine Offences Act, despite support for the pirates from Conservative MPs led by Ian Gilmour.
And the 45 minutes of rock music? It was because the Musicians’ Union objected to the playing of too much recorded music. And the unions also opposed pirate rock radio.
In The Boat that Rocked, the role of entrepreneurs and commerce in the 60s revolution is air-brushed out. And the stifling effect of democratic socialism is ignored. It is typical of the attempt by people on the Left to rewrite history so that they are always on the enlightened side of it.
Phillip Noyce claims his new film, Rabbit-Proof Fence, is a true story.More on this airbrushing here. And more on the making of the “stolen generations” myth here.
The Hollywood director’s publicity blurb repeats the boast: ``A true story.’’ Even the first spoken words in the hyped film, which opens next week, are: ``This is a true story.’’
Wrong. Crucial parts of this ``true story’’ about a ``stolen generations’’ child called Molly Craig are false or misleading. And shamefully so.
No wonder that when Craig saw Rabbit-Proof Fence at a special screening in her bush settlement last month, she seem surprised. ``That’s not my story,’’ she said as the credits rolled.
No, it isn’t. Instead, it is Craig’s story told in a way that would help ``prove’’ the ``stolen generations’’ are no myth—that thousands of Aboriginal children were indeed torn from the arms of loving parents by racist police.

Spin overboard
Andrew Bolt
Confirmed: Kevin Rudd replaces John Howard’s “Pacific Solution” with his “Indonesian Solution”:
JAKARTA agreed last night to accept 78 asylum-seekers rescued by Australia at the weekend, citing the plight of a sick child on board.The hypocrite. Will we now see the furious damnation of Rudd by the Left that we saw of Howard? Where is Oxfam? Amnesty? Julian Burnside? Phillip Adams? World Vision? How quiet they are in criticising Rudd for what they flayed in Howard. Check the links.
The hypocrisy and cant doesn’t end there. Foreign Minister Stephen Smith should be utterly ashamed of himself by trying to hide this overturning of Labor policy behind a sick child on the Australian ship Oceanic Viking:
President Yudhoyono has advised for humanitarian reasons and safety-at-sea reasons the Oceanic Viking will come to the port of Merak where the 78 on board will be put in temporary accommodation until international agencies have had the opportunity to process them… We had a young girl on board who was unwell. That’s a very good humanitarian result.Is Smith really saying the girl couldn’t be treated by Australian doctors as well as she could by Indonesian? If he was so concerned about this girl’s health, why have the boat people been left on the Oceanic Viking for three days, while Australia bribed Indonesia to take them?
UPDATE
Opposition foreign affairs spokesman Julie Bishop on yet more brazen hypocrisy from Smith, Julia Gillard and Labor:
What is really disturbing about this debate is the government’s hypocrisy. Yesterday the Minister for Foreign Affairs lectured us on the inhumanity of the Howard government’s border protection policies. Yet in 2004, a year in which only three boats arrived, the then shadow minister Stephen Smith said in a press release dated March 2004: “The arrival of a boat on Ashmore Reef should be a wake up call for the Howard government to adopt Labor’s tough stance on people smugglers.”Hypocisy is, of course, just another form of deceit. I repeat what I said in a post below: This is already the most deceitful government since Gough Whitlam’s.
So, if one boat is a ‘wake up call’, what are 42 boats? Thanks to Laurie Oakes’s demolition of the Deputy Prime Minister’s credibility on this issue on Sunday, Australians now recall the 2003 press release of the then shadow minister for immigration, Julia Gillard, with a headline screaming ‘Another boat on the way, another policy failure’. This was in 2003-04, when there were three boats in total. So, if ‘another boat’ is a policy failure, what are 42 boats? Apparently, three boats in one year is a policy failure but 42 is a policy triumph—according to Labor.
UPDATE
Here’s proof that the Left barracks more for its tribe than for principle, and that John Howard was monstered for what Kevin Rudd is largely forgiven..
Oxfam on John Howard’s policy to send boat people to Nauru:
The Oxfam Community Aid Abroad report, due for release today, accuses Australia of ”human trafficking” and treating its poor Pacific neighbours like “prostitutes”. The 25-page document says the finanical inducements offered to PNG and Nauru for housing 1500 asylum seekers has distorted the Government’s development assistance priorities. The aid group also questions whether long term aid budgets will be cut to meet the costs. Not suprisingly, Oxfam says the Pacific Solution offers no solution.
Oxfam on Kevin Rudd’s policy to send boat people to Indonesia:
Silence.
Activist Julian Burnside on John Howard’s policy to send boat people to Nauru:
The Howard government ... forever sacrificed any claim to moral decency. The insidious thing about the Pacific Solution is that it preys on impoverished countries who have no real choice whether to lend themselves to the wishes of an Australian government willing to throw millions of dollars at them. I heard someone not so long ago draw an analogy with prostitution… These people are being held unlawfully… This is a staggering enterprise, on any view: about 1500 people have been hijacked at sea and transported against their will to a pile of bird-droppings in the Central Pacific.... To perpetuate this system of state-sponsored piracy and kidnap, the government has committed Australian taxpayers to a staggering $1.2 billion over the next few years. Moreover, the Pacific Solution is a fraud on the Australian people.
Activist Julian Burnside on Kevin Rudd’s policy to send boat people to Indonesia:
I would be interested in looking at the idea of processing in Indonesia with a couple of reservations though… Now, you know, both conditions and legal remedies to ensure the fairness of the process are extremely important in solutions like this and it only takes a slight shift in the attitude of the government for a solution like that to get out of hand utterly the way the Pacific solution did.
Amnesty International on John Howard’s policy to send boat people to Nauru:
In summary, Amnesty International believes that the motivation and rationale for the ‘’Pacific Solution’’ is inherently flawed because, purportedly to combat the crime of people smuggling, it spends more time and money punishing asylum seekers (many of whom have been found to be refugees) rather than smugglers themselves. Some of the penalties for such asylum seekers include arbitrary and indefinite detention, effectively a custodial sentence without charge, trial or other safeguards.
Amnesty International on Kevin Rudd’s policy to send boat people to Indonesia:
Meanwhile Amnesty International Australia’s refugee coordinator, Dr Graham Thom, says if the Government is going to intervene to stop boats it must ensure Indonesia treats the asylum seekers humanely.
Phillip Adams on John Howard’s policy to send boat people to Nauru:
It was only a few years ago that we started to extricate ourselves from the shame of the White Australia Policy in which, like South Africa with apartheid, we’d enshrined bigotry in legislation… Yet while we prepared to celebrate our centenary of Federation, while putting out a welcome mat to the world with the Sydney Olympics, we turned our back on tolerance… Australia’s reaction to refugees, ranging from the so-called Pacific solution to the detention centres, is characterised by hypocrisy and humbug.
Phillip Adams on Kevin Rudd’s policy to send boat people to Indonesia:
Nothing yet.
Professor Robert Manne on John Howard’s policy to send boat people to Nauru:
...unprecedented in its ruthlessness
Professor Robert Manne on Kevin Rudd’s policy to send boat people to Indonesia:
If one talks about the political dimension, which I don’t think one can leave out of the discussion, it is clearly a big problem for the Rudd Government because there is a strange thing in Australian opinion, which I don’t understand but I acknowledge, that 10,000 refugees brought in by the Australian Government doesn’t cause a problem for the Government. One thousand or even fewer arriving without authorisation, particularly by boat, causes an incredible sort of ruckus and political problems and I think we have, so I think somehow you have to balance the political and the moral in this.

Rudd spun even Afghanistan
Andrew Bolt
More Rudd spin unravelling.
Here’s what Kevin Rudd promised when there was an election to win and ne needed to seem tough:
We are there for the long haul when it comes to Afghanistan, and we will look at reasonable requests in the future for military commitments, including the hard edged stuff.What he’s planning now that he’s won:
Defence Minister John Faulkner says he is exploring options to get Australian troops out of Afghanistan earlier than expected.The Rudd Government in less than two years has already proved itself to be the most deceitful since the Whitlam Government.
UPDATE
Faulkner rephrases:
DEFENCE Minister John Faulkner says he is not planning to draw down the 1,500 Australian troops in Afghanistan earlier than expected.
Comments by Senator Faulkner earlier today were interpreted as indicating the government planned to draw down troop numbers in Afghanistan as soon as possible.
He told a Senate estimates committee that wasn’t what he meant.
“My comments very much go not to whittling away the cap of 1,550 but ensuring, giving anyone who like to hear, absolute assurance that we are focused on that critical objective we have set ourselves in Afghanistan,” he said.

The 42 dead that Gillard can’t see
Andrew Bolt
THE Rudd Government can’t be trusted to tell the truth about the boat people it’s lured when it refuses to admit even to the dead on its doorstep.
Last week I warned that at least 25 boat people had died this year in trying to sail here, after the Government weakened our laws on illegal arrivals.
How many were drawn to their deaths by the Government’s “compassion”?
On Friday Nationals leader Warren Truss repeated my point, goading the Government into a furious response.
Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard savaged Truss for his “vile slur”, which she said was one of the most “dangerous”, “irresponsible” and “despicable” she’d heard in politics.
She falsely claimed Truss had blamed the Government for “causing” these 25 deaths, and on Channel 9 added this: “There is no evidence to support this figure.”
Pardon? No evidence?
How can Gillard deny any knowledge of the people who are even dying in full glare of our television cameras? Can she really not see those corpses?
Are the dead really to be hidden in another blanket of government spin?
But steady. I know Gillard as an honourable politician and am sure she did not deliberately lie. So I ask: what information is this Government keeping not only from us, but from the Prime Minister’s own deputy? Julia, here are just four tragedies in which boat people have this year died.

Trioli puts her finger on the ABC’s problem
Andrew Bolt
ON Monday Barnaby Joyce found himself on the end of a typically hostile interview from the ABC.
Typical, because Joyce is a conservative leader of the Nationals in the Senate and a global warming sceptic.
What! A denier? Well, of course, an average ABC journalist would think him a hick, a baboon, a madman.
The difference this time is that this average interviewer, ABC2 breakfast show host Virginia Trioli, made not the slightest effort to keep her ideologically fueled contempt to herself.
As Joyce ended one answer, the camera switched abruptly to Trioli in another studio, catching her in the middle of pulling a face and twirling a finger around her temple to suggest Joyce was stark-staring mad.
Trioli later rang him to apologise, naturally, but only for her rudeness, and not for her bias. She informed Joyce that she still thought his ideas crazy.
But are they? On global warming, thousands of scientists and hundreds of thousands of the taxpayers who pay Trioli’s ABC salary would disagree.
And here’s the real problem that Trioli so precisely fingered. Why is it that views widely held by viewers are so contemptuously dealt with by the ABC when they challenge the standard Left position? Why is there not a more even debate, and the plurality of views among ABC hosts that would best enable it to flourish?

We may even have had cooling for 22 years
Andrew Bolt
A new study by Craig Loehle of the US National Council for Air and Stream Improvement warns that most globel warming models didn’t predict this cooling::
Global satellite data is analyzed for temperature trends for the period January 1979 through June 2009. Beginning and ending segments show a cooling trend, while the middle segment evinces a warming trend. The past 12 to 13 years show cooling using both satellite data sets, with lower confidence limits that do not exclude a negative trend until 16 to 22 years.
