Producer of Obama Video on Fox News Loses CNN Job Offer

By JEREMY W. PETERS

The Fox News producer behind a provocative four-minute anti-Obama video that aired Wednesday and caused the network considerable embarrassment has found his career on ice.

The producer, Chris White, had been offered a job by CNN before the video was broadcast. But on Thursday, a CNN spokeswoman said that the network would not be hiring him.

Mr. White’s fate at Fox News is unclear.

The video, which aired twice on the morning show “Fox & Friends,” was widely criticized as a thinly veiled attack ad. In it, President Obama is depicted as a failed leader who has not delivered on his 2008 campaign theme of hope and change.

Fox News tried to distance itself from the video on Wednesday, saying that it was not authorized at the senior executive level.

“Fox & Friends,” which walks a tricky line between news, entertainment and commentary, has been a source of ridicule by the network’s liberal critics. Its hosts, Gretchen Carlson and Steve Doocy, have been satirized on “Saturday Night Live.”

The program is overtly hostile to Mr. Obama and Democrats. But Fox executives have said they do not consider it to be — or to hold the same standards as — a news program.

Charlie Rose had a very interesting interview on the 2012 race with John Heilemann tonight, 5/31.

Heilemann co wrote "Game Change".

Very worth a watch...

It is getting serious.

realclearpolitics.com

At first, when you look at 237:170, it looks ominous for Romney. But when you look at the battleground states/toss ups, Obama is clearly very vulnerable.

FL - leaning Romney (29)
AZ - leaning Romney (11)
MO - leaning Romney (10)
NC - leaning Romney (15)
IA - Tied or leaning Romney (if you exclude the PPP, a democratic-leaning poll) (6)
OH - Most recent poll is leaning Romney (18)
NV - Moved hard toward Romney in the last money, still slightly leaning Obama (6)
CO - Even CO is trending toward Romney, Obama maintaining a 1 point lead (9)

That's it. And VA is is barely leaning Obama. All these polls were before last week's horrible job #s. And before the Supremes through out Obamacare as unconstitutional.

This is a landslide in the making.
