Obama is being long to bury FOX.



The Brazilian journalist Caio Blinder has been insisting on criticizing Obama in reason of him to react to the republican campaign of FOX:

It is curious to see how the journalistic CORPORATIVISM acts. When some journalists beat in the politicians the others applaud. But when some "partizans" or "chetniks" disguised of journalists take the politicians' blows the other journalists are hispid. The Freedom of Press is a constitutional value as any other. It is not nor above nor below other constitutional values. And as any other constitutional value the Freedom of Press also has limits and it should not be distorted by the journalists. Freedom of Press is not excuse for the submission of the media to a political party.



Caio Blinder can write millions of lines to defend FOX. But this won't demonstrate his exemption and commitment with the Freedom of Press, it will just reinforce his CORPORATIVISM. Besides, for me Obama only deserves to be censured by a reason: he is beating light and slowly in FOX. Obama could be harder and faster. If he buries FOX upside down in a mountain of business garbage he will make a well the American democracy and it will help to pacify the world when reducing the republicans' belligerent influence in the foreign policy of the USA.
