Fox News: Obama Loves Gangsta Rap Headline Pulled

Fox News and Obama haven't been the best of friends. Obama has called the network "destructive" and truthfully the Fox news channel has been a thorn in the Obama Administration's side since the word "go." The network caters to the conservatives, which Obama is not. So it only makes sense that the two just don't jive.

The President had an interview with Rolling Stone magazine in which they discussed, among other things, what music was on the President's iPod.

He has over 2,000 song (who doesn't?) and for the most part the artists on the tracks are somewhat yawn inducing - Coltrane, Miles Davis, classical music - the basic politician stuff.

However, he mentioned that his personal assistant was turning him on to artists such as Lil Wayne. He goes on to say that he was "no expert" in rap music and that "Jay-Z" used to be the extent of his rap offerings.

According to the Huffington Post, Fox News turned that interview into a headline which reads "President Obama Loves Gangsta Rap"

Now, aren't we all closet gangsta rap fans? I wouldn't care even if he did jam out to Lil Wayne and Nas. Maybe Fox News is still upset about Nas' Rap which dissed them?

What do you think about Fox News' Obama Loves Gangsta Rap headline?

Obama: Fox News Destroying America

Obama says Fox News is destroying America. Yes, that's right our commander in chief just happened to say that one of our media outlets practices destructive habits. Fox News and the Obama administration has long been hailed as polar opposites.

Now, in an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, Obama is quoted as saying “I think Fox is part of that tradition — it is part of the tradition that has a very clear, undeniable point of view. It’s a point of view that I disagree with. It’s a point of view that I think is ultimately destructive for the long-term growth of a country that has a vibrant middle class and is competitive in the world.”

In 2009, Obama made the remark that he had "one news station" that was devoted to "attacking" his administration. Later that year, an administration official said that they'd treat Fox News like an "opponent."

The network, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, caters mainly to conservatives. Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, and Bill O'Reilly are among the top opinion personalities on the network.

What do you think of Obama's comments about Fox News? Should a president speak out about a press organization as he did?
