A recent commentary by Clarence Page (“Hannity is right about Team Obama on this one,” Oct. 27) correctly states that the Obama administration’s feud with Fox News is enhancing the cable network’s viewership.

But Page’s clear intent is to take every opportunity to marginalize and ridicule Fox News, simply because they have uncovered legitimate concerns about events and advisors within the Obama administration.

Fox News is currently the only major news organization asking tough questions of this administration and holding them accountable, which historically, has been the role and responsibility of the free press.

Personally, I am thankful that Fox News pursued the Van Jones story, as well as the ACORN scandal.

Had Van Jones, a self-proclaimed socialist, not been researched and reported on by Glenn Beck and Fox News, he would still be advising the president today. If two freelance filmmakers hadn’t had the courage to expose the corrupt activist group ACORN, it would still be conducting its illegal and corrupt business-as-usual. Fox News was the only news outlet to report either story.
