Time For Obama Administration to “Grow up!” They Are Trying to Punish Fox
Greta Wire ^ | Tuesday, November 20, 2012 | Greta Van Susteren

Posted on 11/20/2012 5:48:24 PM PST by kristinn

The Obama Administration is playing dirty. Trying to put a price tag on access — either a news organization plays ball and accepts what they dish out without challenge, or the news organization is excluded, punished...

...and now the latest…. DNI Director James Clapper told Capitol Hill last week that the DNI did not know who took the term Al Qaeda out of the talking points that was given to Ambassador Susan Rice. It turns out that is not true and the DNI released a memo to the media last night indicating that DNI Director James Clapper was wrong last week when he said that (incidentally two plus months after the murders.) The DNI / Intelligence removed Al Qaeda from the talking points memo given to Ambassador Susan Rice. But that’s not all – it isn’t just the “who is on first” at the DNI, it is also what the DNI did to Fox last night. The DNI LEFT FOX NEWS CHANNEL OFF ITS DISTRIBUTION LIST last night when it released this new memo to the media.

You know why Fox is left out 3 out of 3. We at Fox are not simply accepting what they say, what they dish out. We are looking for facts and corroboration when there are inconsistencies and discrepancies. To the extent we get anything wrong is because the Administration is doing whatever it can to thwart us getting the facts – or even to exclude us.

They are trying to punish us into going away — hoping we get their message that we will never have access to them as long as we dare to challenge what they put out. And guess what? What they have put out and what we have challenged shows they are cagey and not giving the straight story...

This is like the Nixon administration excluding the Washington Post from Watergate spin briefings.

In the run-up to war, I remember Peter Arnett explain that he had to spout Saddam Hussein's party line, or he and CNN would be kicked out of Iraq.

As for FNN, after Hussein won the nomination in 2008, it was kicked off the Obama campaign.

IOW, this column merely clarifies and emphasizes that any network with access to the Obama White House is not a news organization, but rather a propaganda mill.

It’s not childish, if they could imprison Greta and block Fox from the air they would do it. It’s Fox and idiots like O’Reilly that need to grow up.

Well maybe Fox should count their blessings.

In Russia pesky reporters are frequently found dead if they ask the wrong questions about Putin.

I think the word Obama used during the campaign was “revenge.”

Fox should scream bloody murder, not say the WH should “grow up” or is “acting chhildish”. These are gulag tactics and teh left will gfet worse and worse. Fox needs to demand that it stop, taht it is a scandal, that it means the Obama administration does NOT represent all Americans.

They also should protest every day on every show.

And that is just for starters. They are bringing a water pistol to the gunfight. The left intends to put them out of business.

There is not a single government official in this country right now that is speaking factually or truthfully.

Exactly. Acting “childish” is nonsense; acting like commie revolutionaries is more accurate.

Exactly!!!!!!!!

I love Greta, she is madder than a hatter over the “murder” of 4 citizens .. and I hope she doesn’t relent until we know ALL THE TRUTH.

And .. I love how she always refers to the event as “murder”.

Well .. without FOX and O’Reilly, the rest of the country would not know anything about the mess in Benghazi, or the fact it was a TERRORIST ATTACK against the USA.

“out of business” REALLY ..??????

Do you know what the viewership is of FOX ..??

On the 3rd night of the debates - FOX was at 29 million.

The other networks - all added together - didn’t get that much viewership. THIS is why they HATE FOX.

The other networks (who support Obama), are only too willing to bad mouth and smear the name of FOX - just for their own petty, juvenile selves.

I called this one months ago. The MSM velvet glove treatment of Obie has always been about access.

It’s more than just sucking up for access. They’re almost all avowed leftists POSs.
