In White House E-Mails, Staffers Wrote of Delivering Dead Fish to Fox News, Blacklisting Network

In e-mails obtained by Judicial Watch, Obama White House staffers wrote of their contempt for Fox News, including efforts to blacklist the network from coverage.

Deputy White House Communications Director Jennifer Psaki sent an e-mail on October 23, 2009, to Jenni LeCompte, then-Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at Treasury that said, "“I am putting some dead fish in the fox cubby – just cause”.

In another e-mail on October 22, 2009, Psaki calls Fox News anchor Bret Baier a "lunatic."

“…brett baier just did a stupid piece on it -- but he is a lunatic”.

Other e-mails show the White House lied when it denied trying bar Fox News from a round of media interviews with Kenneth Feinberg, Treasury's 'executive pay czar.'

One e-mail from the White House to LeCompte at Treasury is explicit in their desire to blacklist Fox: “…we’d prefer if you skip Fox please,” wrote Dan Vega, Director of Broadcast Media.

When you’re insane, reasonable people seem like lunatics.

A dead fish from a democrat is a badge of honor.

I’m reminded of the official portrait of Lester Maddox,
He’s standing in the entry hall of the Governors residence
and on the hall table behind him is a dead fish wrapped in
a copy of the Atlanta Constitution.

Love how liberals go on about how mature and serious they are - have all the answers for everyone, while in reality the are petulant children unable to resolve the paradox of desiring to control everyone whilst outwardly pretending to be all about individual freedom. I swear to God, liberals are borderline schizophrenic.

Gee, I'm so glad we've got people of this caliber and maturity running the White House.

Yes. That is why Western Civilization has to be destroyed—it is the creation of the greatest geniuses in the history of the world because it has embraced the greatest freedom for the masses and Capitalism (Marxists loath freedom and Capitalism!!!)

Add zero’s blackness which is full of jealousy of the white man. He reviles the genius of Thomas Sowell and Clarence Thomas because they adopt the ideology that made America superior to all (evil white man ideology) and it makes Africa seem so worthless when it comes to great ideas throughout history.

That country still has slavery and severe poverty and that Marxist/fascist/tribal ideology that dominates Africa is the philosophy of our so called Commander in Chief. His dysfunctional thinking will destroy America which we are witnessing. Marxism is evil and he “seems” to not understand that it is just a failed white man’s ideology. But he knows alright!

So, why does he embrace it? Because it is a failed ideology....he wants America and Western Civ to be destroyed and then maybe “Africa” can rule over the world. At least they won’t appear so backward in comparison to the destroyed West.

As with all evil people....they have to tear down and destroy the good so they don’t feel so inferior.

Of note, Fox is center left.

As far as I’m concerned, any White House skirmish with Fox News is about equivalent to Jimmy Carter feuding with Bill Clinton.

“At least they won’t appear so backward in comparison to the destroyed West.”

Good analysis. Chilling in its implications.
