Maybe Fox News should hire Van Jones to be its White House correspondent.

This is great...this will have the independents and “moderates” saying to themselves:”Hey...those right wingers were right—he is a tyrant.”

Well I guess anything is possible. I wonder if the other medias' standing up for FNC was something the pool members themselves decided to do on their own, or wwas it a corporate decision.

I tend to believe the former.

If the rst of the media gives a merry rip about it’s responsibility to the constitution and it’s duty to the truth they will boycott Obama press conferences until they recant this nonsense. I know, wishful thinking.

According to Krauthammer in this article, War On Fox Alters Checks And Balances, the WH has backed down and allowed FoxNews to be present.

An administration, confident in their vision, doesn’t seek to aggressively supress criticism at every single turn. This administration wants so desparately to preach down to feeble minded sheep that need tending.

The other networks told the White House if Foxnews is not allowed in, none of them would participate. The WH capitulated and allowed Major Garrett to do an interview.

Barack and Rahm are pretending to be the “little guy” who is being bullied by the big mean Fox News. Only problem with the strategy is that Barack is the President, so they just come off as pathetic. While they should be worrying about the issues, they desperately grasp for a common enemy hoping to unite the masses. These guys only seem to have a skill-set that was useful for nitpicking Bush, but are lost at sea at getting anything positive accomplished now that they’ve attained power. Feels like it’s 1976.... amateurs.

Fine with me, I wanted Bush to kick all the liberal hacks out of the press room and off the jet for years.

Let him give speeches to the fawning idiots to dumb and scared to say he has no clothes.

Over the past two weeks, three White House officials have publicly criticized the Fox News Channel by denigrating its status as a news outlet - White House Communications Director Anita Dunn, Senior Advisor David Axelrod and Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. And even the president himself commented on his opinion of Fox News.

One, or many, of Odumbo's advisors, sat around and decided that this was going to be their plan of attack. Attack FOX News in a concerted way. Attack them from all angles. Since the President has the same talking points, he is in on it, too.

FOX isn’t going to get anything but lies from the White House.

All this publicity and controversy will probably increase Fox’s rating by about 25% within a few more weeks.

The MSM is feeling the chill of State Controlled Media - they're smart enough to know that if this mob in the WH will do this to FOX then they are either, heretofore, owned by the WH - else, if they anger the tyrants, they too will be in the cross-hairs.

They're realizing their profession is under siege - the WH gang, like the Chicago thugs they are, figured the MSM media would gladly climb aboard against their competitor that is taking the ratings from them -

wrong calculation. The MSM media doesn't want to play with the snake in the sand box.

I kinda find merit in that age old expression,,,

you can be thought a fool and an/or idiot or you can prove it by opening your mouth....

and that is where the Obama House is taking themselves.

The THUGOCRACY of 0bama and his Politburo of Czars.

You had better not say anything that could make them look bad or you will absolutely be next.

This creep is a paranoid as they come.

BTW - if you think that this display is bad just IMAGINE what he will do to ensure his re-election bid when it comes up and he’s got an approval rating hovering above 30%?

It will be the greatest scorched earth campaign since Hitler invaded Russia.

For any of you oltimers who remember “Peanuts” Carter’s `braintrust’: Hamilton Jordan, Jody Powell, Griffen Bell, Zibignew Brzinzski, etc., all of this going on now has to be familiar. These Chicago yokels are completely out of their depth.
And Obama is the worst, in terms of experience and savvy. He reminds me of Hillary on health care, especially when he tries to `break bad’—but she had bigger `nads and still crashed & burned.

Fox should set up a press room and put an Obama dummy and teleprompter in it. I hope they ridicule him and make him look like the crybaby he is.
