Trying to get Fox kicked out of the WH press pool, which they’ve been members of since 1997 goes far beyond anything even Nixon attempted. Obama’s attempt was a for-real Fascist-style operation. Single one entity from the herd and see if the rest let you destroy it. If so, repeat process until all are destroyed.
Fortunately, it doesn’t look like kindergarten-level Fascism yet works in America. I wonder if Obama will give up kiddy Fascism, or if he’ll try to take it to the next level.
He may have just singled himself out from the herd.
