They just can't quit talking about Jeremiah Wright and his inflammatory comments. Why didn't Fox News give President Bush a hard time about speaking at Bob Jones' segregationist and prejudiced university?
 
Fox News is playing to their audience.

While Fox News should be "fair and balanced," rather than just claim it; they only make money if they keep people watching.

Their audience doesn't like Obama, so they play things that make Obama look bad.

But to be fair, if they want to play one side or the other they should toss the title of "News" and the slogan of "fair and balanced." That's false advertising.

It is an opinion channel. They should be truthful about that. But since when did truthfulness matter in politics?
 
It appears that the Media has an agenda. They continue to show the clips of Pastor Wright, but they have not acknowledge that they cut and spliced the passages...one of the complete sermons was posted on youtube and it was not at all in the context in which the media keeps presenting. I can't remember any other Presidential candidate being scrutinized for something someone else said.
 
The whole purpose of Fox News is to spread the conservative right wing agenda. They think that they can smear Obama by using Wright's comments. I doubt that they have changed the minds of any of Obama's supporters.
I would rather drink kerosene than watch Fox.
