Greta Van Susteren Goes After Obama For 'One-Sided' Slam On Fox News

Earlier this morning, we reported that President Obama lamented to The New Republic that Fox News and Rush Limbaugh have a hand in upholding partisan gridlock by attacking Republicans who work with the other side. Fox's Greta Van Susteren took issue with the comments, and wrote a blog post decrying the president's 'one-sided' view of the media.

'President Obama names Fox? And what does President Obama think happens when Democrat works with Republicans? What happens to that Democrat in the left leaning press?' Van Susteren named the post.

In his TNR interview, Obama blamed Fox and Limbaugh for Republican reluctance to work with Democrats; but, conversely, he said that 'left-leaning media outlets recognize that compromise is not a dirty word.'

Van Susteren called the president out for what she sees as a one-sided analysis. 'Some Democrats have told me that they want to come on Fox to discuss issues but they get heat from their Leadership for appearing on Fox. Does President Obama know that? So which Party is intimidating its members?' she wrote.

The On the Record host continued: 'And to say Senator Harry Reid is willing to compromise is just wrong. He has not allowed a budget to get to the Senate Floor for years to even begin a discussion. The budget process is where all compromise begins and ends and ended it before it even got started.'

'Apparently President Obama wants his usual media pass and Fox challenges his policies ' which happens to be the media's job,' she added.
