Holder Mocks Fox News for Hyping Islamic Extremism [Full Presser]

Eric Holder says Fox News spends too much time discussing terrorism terms (The Washington Examiner)

Attorney General Eric Holder told a National Press Club audience Tuesday that Fox News’ intense focus on the Obama administration’s refusal to use the term “radical Islam” results in the right-of-center cable news network spending more time on White House terminology than on terrorist violence itself.

“Whenever you’re getting criticized by both sides, it probably means you’re probably getting right. We spend more time, more time talking about what you call it, as opposed to what do you do about it, you know? I mean really. If [Fox News] didn’t talk about this, they would have nothing else to talk about, it seems to me,” Holder said in response to a question about how the White House goes about dealing with terrorist violence and how they label terrorist acts.
