What’s the significance of this, aside from it being your daily reminder that Wallace was right? Go watch the clip of Anita Dunn whining on CNN or just skip ahead here to 2:25.
Kurtz specifically asked her whether The One would sit for an interview with one of Fox’s news shows this year.
Her weaselly response was to say that he would — eventually — while neglecting to mention one tiny fact revealed below by Rosen: She’d already given Fox a hard no for the remaining three months of this year and pretty obviously didn’t want to acknowledge it on CNN lest it show just how petty The One is.
In fact, so coincidental is Kurtz’s question in hindsight that I wonder if some Foxie didn’t tip him to the freeze-out before the interview so that he could put her on the spot about it.
Although if that were true, why didn’t he follow up and reveal the freeze-out when she declined to do so?
As for Rosen’s assertion that no administration officials have done Fox News Sunday since last August, I’m assuming he meant this August.
Gibbs appeared on the show in late July, although maybe Rosen was referring to policymakers/cabinet officials, not the White House press department.
Wallace did interview Geithner just a few days ago, but that was for an event at the Newseum, not for FNS.
Who knows if the White House knew who the interviewer would be.

This war against Fox should double their ratings within weeks....what a dumbass!
so Fox needs to report without their input.
fair and balanced as always....
Reminds me of Hugo Chavez and his battle with the Venezuelan media.
Sounds good to me. I turn Zero off the minute his Socialist face appears or I hear his Socialist voice. I refuse to watch him, listen to him, or look at him in the newspaper.
Being an “obama-free zone” is a real plus in my view.
If this means that FOX doesn’t have to “balance” its discussion of issues by dragging in those adminstration dumasses with their fake plastered smiles and repetitive canned talking points....so much the better!
All Fox News has to say is: “And the President still refuses to talk to us. What is he a afraid of?”
What ever happened to the President treating all the same?
Nothing says kowtow like CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS and every other media outlet willing to follow orders to get an interview. Especially since the questions and answers came straight from the WH.
January 26th is coming up fast...
No questions please...
CNN et al can be relied upon to pretend theres no trial about his BC...
Wow, woo hoo. I will be watching FOX, except Shemp and Whoraldo.
I see so much of the 'Bamba on all of the other shows, Fox is my oasis!
who the hell wants him....he’s a liar
I’m glad he won’t do any interviews on Fox. That much less face time on TV, and no chance for him to put his message out to the millions and millions of Fox viewers.
In other words, Fox is the NoBama network. How sweet is that?
THANK YOU GOD!!!! A place that is OBOMBA FREE!!! YIPPEE!!!
They certainly know with as many viewers that Foxnews has, compared to the alphabet channels, they’ll lose any support they might have. The current administration is not only a bunch of whining cry babies, they are also a bunch of cowards. This is no more than a distraction.
Good! And I hope they don’t cover any of Bozo’s speeches too!
Can they please tell Fox no more interviews with that dumbass Mark Lamont Hill too?
Chicken!!
That going end up sting in Obama butt
Dissing highest rating Cable news network combine ratings of MSNBC and CNN you don’t like one of their reporters
Bowing to Sheiks and meeting with Iran without precondition, but Sissy Barry is afraid of Brit Hume? Huh? Should I call Barry out as a wimp? He is getting all wee-weed up, acting stupidly, and is a jackass. Now where’s by White Crib beer?
Sign seen outside New Hampshire auto shop: “IF OBAMA IS SO AFRAID OF FOX NEWS; HOW CAN BE FIGHT THE TALIBAN?”
What a bunch of titty babies.
So O'Reilly kissed his arse for nothing!?
Priceless!
Exactly, he’s over exposed so ‘landing him’ for an interview is no coup anyway.
Promise?
Whatever czar he intends to hire, whatever policy he intends to implement, he and his democrat accomplices intend to shove them down our throats no matter how much we protest or what it will cost us or our nation.
Depriving Fox News or us of himself - you can't help but wonder if it was his advisors or he, himself, who dreamed up that kind of "punishment" ?
Why not a new messaging; a bumper sticker. . .(don't let the sockpuppets get you down/watch Fox News!/Watch the station they fear the most. . .Fox News!) Dare to go where 'they' tell you NOT TO!/Fox News!) (Fox News; are you brave enough to hear the truth?) There are a gazillion possibilities, no doubt, to agitate these fools to the max.
Fox News, of course, speaks the truth; but think a more 'biting truth' should be ordered up if even per a small campaign to annoy the hell out of them. After all; they have chosen to make Fox the butt of their jokes by their petty vitriol and no question; they want results here, for their efforts.
That said; do have a 'Fox Nation' bumper sticker on my car; but really would like an upgraded message with some punch behind it/lol. . .
Need a Photoshopped chicken with an Obama head, running from a fox.
Fox News - pissing off the right people.
Who cares I myself have had enough of Blue lip.
Childish isn’t he ... The Obama thinks every one is as dumb as the shoeless Kenyans his cousin Odinga had him over to incite. An illegal act for a sitting Senator in itself.
I am sick of FNC whining about this. I don’t even want to see them interview Odumbo. I’d switch to a re-run of I Love Lucy to avoid watching.
Why would Fox News care about interviewing 0bama?
He doesn’t do anything for ratings, and the pinhead who would likely interview him would just be a kiss ass, again.
To anyone that gives this story the slightest thought, it is much more an indictment of all the other news outlets than it is a condemnation of FOX.
They are afraid of FOX. Why?
They aren’t afraid of the others. Why not?
Guess Axelrod’s threat to Ailes came through. (”If you don’t put a stop to the criticism - aka opposing questions, exposing THE TRUTH - of our Obammy, we’ll come out swinging. Whaa, whaa, whaa.”)
Guess Ailes said, “Do it!” and “Own it.”
Maybe Glenn Beck can hang up an empty suit or a cardboard cutout of Dear Leader in the corner of his set.
And here I was peacefully, relaxingly watching Monday Night Football and Zero comes on there!!!!
I always turn the channel too - but this time I watched....and as I posted over on the thread about this....notized that Zero’s neck is even THINNER than it used to be. He appears to be shrinking.
Could it be that all that “bad press” he is getting from the meanies at Fox and from Rush and Levin are getting to him???
Could it be affecting his digestion?
Is he down to living on pills (ala Michael Skinny Jackson?)
I’ve just never seen a man with a neck so skinny and he appears to not even fit into his skinny suits any more.
But, then, megalomaniacs have physical reactions to criticism I’m told.
Cool, lines drawn in the sand, a real man worthy of the PEACE initiative.
Finding things wrong with Obama is just too easy.
I rather enjoy not seeing any of that evil administration on Fox. Good riddance, I say.
Just continue reporting what needs reporting, Fox. Your ratings will not suffer.
I say WONDERFUL. At least there will be one channel with that piece of scum not on it.
Who cares I myself have had enough of Blue lip.

Yeah....I’ve always thought of him as the CIC (Cadaver in Chief). He really needs some oxygen! Must be the ciggies.
I like what the guys on Pardon the Interruption do: hold up a popsicle stick with a face picture on it and pretend to interview. Since everyone knows what he’s going to say on any subject, who can’t be a sub.
I guess we should cancel those plans for freeper interview of the communist in chief...
If these pussies can't deal with Fox news, how are they going to deal with Iran and other real threats?
God, help us?
Fox News has the ratings that equal all competitor networks combined.
The Obama Administration "blacklisting" Fox News will cause their ratings to grow even more.
The Scoreboard: Tuesday, Oct. 6
