New White House Comms Director Takes Same View of Fox. ‘We Don’t Feel an Obligation to Treat them Like we Would Treat a CNN or an ABC or an NBC’ Fox News Responds

By Chris Ariens on Jan 18, 2010 11:51 PM

The White House has a new communications director — Dan Pfeiffer — but the message is the same when it comes to Fox News Channel.

During a video interview today with The New York Times’ The Caucus blog, Pfeiffer was clear about the White House position on Fox News:

“I have the same view of Fox that Anita [Dunn] had, which is that Fox is not a traditional news organization. They have a point of view. That point of view pervades the entire network both the opinion shows, like Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly, but also through the newscasts during the day,” Pfeiffer said.

“We don’t feel an obligation to treat them like we would treat a CNN or an ABC or an NBC or a traditional news organization. But there are times when it would make sense to communicate with them and appear on the network.”

Fox News responded tonight: “Obviously new to his position, Dan seems to be intent upon repeating the mistakes of his predecessor... and we all remember how well that turned out.”

These idiots fail to mention the two NBC commies olberman and that carpet-chewing maddow
freak. If they were not so stupid, I would blame it on arrogance.

I pray that Scott Brown wins today.

So in a couple of sentences the lie is stood on its head.
Fox is not "a traditional news organization" (a liberal news organization) yet the admission is that they have actually do have newscasts which makes them a news organization, traditional or not.
That's pretty pathetic.

MSNBC’s Ed Schultz: “I tell you what, if I lived in Massachusetts I’d try to vote 10 times,” said Schultz on his Friday radio show. “I don’t know if they’d let me or not, but I’d try to. Yeah, that’s right. I’d cheat to keep these bastards out. I would. ‘Cause that’s exactly what they are.”

MSNBC’s Olbermann: “in Scott Brown we have an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude-model, teabagging supporter of violence against woman and against politicians with whom he disagrees.”
