I mean ... you just can't make this up.
Huckabee: Without Fox News, Americans would assume Obama ‘doing a great job’
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee (R) had an oops moment on his radio show (http://radio.mikehuckabee.com/) Monday, and this one’s going to leave a mark.
Speaking about America’s media landscape in general, Huckabee suggested that without Fox News acting as a counterweight to “mainstream media,” most Americans “will assume that Obama really is just doing a great job and he just can’t get those crazy Republicans to help him out.”
Huckabee’s guest, former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu (R), who’s now gone to work for the Romney campaign (http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/05/30/romney-surrogate-cnn-should-be-embarrassed-for-covering-birther-story/), added that the major news networks defend President Barack Obama from negative economic news, calling the president America’s “whiner in chief.”
“I think a lot of people, if all they do is listen to conservative talk radio and maybe watch Fox News, they assume that all of America is getting what I would call at least a balanced approach to understanding that there are a lot of real problems going on that Obama could do better on,” Huckabee said. “But if people only watch the three big networks and BS-NBC, as I like to call them — MSNBC — if they watch BS-NBC and the three networks, then I think sometimes we may be kidding ourselves because a lot of people will assume that Obama really is just doing a great job and he just can’t get those crazy Republicans to help him out.”
