White House's Fox News Boycott Attempt Prompts Network Revolt

White House's Fox News Boycott Attempt Prompts Network Revolt
The White House attempted to block Fox News from a round of interviews with "pay czar" Kenneth Feinberg Thursday, but the Washington bureau chiefs of the five TV networks included in the White House pool refused to interview Feinberg unless Fox News was included.
Fox News says that the White House "failed in its attempt to manipulate other news networks into isolating and excluding Fox News."
The attempt to shut Fox News out was the latest move in the administration's ongoing battle against the cable news channel, which several senior administration officials have claimed is not a legitimate news organization.
The decision by the network bureau chiefs to stand with Fox News is one of the first instances of the mainstream media defending Fox News against the White House's claims.

3. Then the White House should shut them all out.
Seriously.
If the white house is freezing out one network and the other networks don't like it, fine.
:whatever: Yea the Whitehouse should only talk to Rawstory and Michael Moore.
There is nothing really surprising but this is interesting..

18. OK, so here's what I think.
I don't think Obama necessarily wants to ban Fox. He is just trying to make it clear to viewers that they shouldn't believe what they hear there.
Yea because we all need Obama to tell us who to to listen too.
Just like we need Obama to tell us who to talk to, who our doctors should be, how much money we should make, how we should educate our children.
It really is sort of pathetic that they think so little of themselves.

First of all, DUmmies don't think, they only parrot what they are told to. Secondly, Lord Zero was hoping for a different outcome. He thought the others would toe the line, now he's just hoping they got the message to not oppose his agenda and to not cover stories that Fox breaks.

I gotta know. Has ANYONE asked these folks why they don't like Fox News? I know they hate it but I can't figure out why.
Fox is more centrist than the rest of the media but they still aren't 'right'. I see both sides of issues presented on Fox more often than I see it presented on any other channels ....
Can any of those folks cite specific instances of things Fox has done they don't care for?

They hate Fox News because Beck, Hannity and O'Lielly have shows there. They can't distinguish between "news" and "commentaries"

They didn't worship the Obamessiah like the DUmmies wanted them to.
And don't forget that anyone not as leftist as Chairman Mao is on the "right" to them. That is, anyone who wouldn't let them beat up people who have more than them and steal their things.

Stay with me here. Fox doesn't demonstrate an open liberal bias in its reporting of the news. Therefore, Fox is incredibly biased and not really a news organization. The end.

Simple.....FOX's MO generally centers around having an issue put forth with a member of both sides participating in the debate........often the Democrat is made to look foolish in these situations, due to the fact that they are accustomed to stating their case in a vacuum, without opposition, as the rest of the MSM allows them to do, "interview style".
Democrats do not enjoy public debate, and generally prefer that it be done behind closed doors.....one would only have to look at the relative IQ of the Democratic members of congress to see why they dislike this format.........

Basically y'all are saying if they don't have a John Stewart or Steven Colbert aire about them then it isn't real news?! LOL
Seriously. I never could figure out why they hate Fox News so much. Hell Fox does stuff that pisses me off but the bottom line is; It is what it is. The news isn't created (I mean SHOULDN'T be created) by the news orgs .... it is simply supposed to be reported.
I just wondered if any of them ever cite specific examples.
They are such a bunch of frickin' cry babies.

You have to realize that these clowns think NPR is a right leaning news outlet. :mental:

Neither can Obama....he only considers it "news" if it's in his favor.

This all goes back to what we've known all along: Liberals want no opinions voiced except those that agree with them, and the only media they want are those who will report as fact what they want presented and in the way they wanted it presented. If there were any opposition opinions voiced -- that's a big IF -- their first choice would be to have them summarily executed. Seeing as they aren't quite to that point, then they might be willing to have conservatives voice their opinion provided that a liberals could immediately follow behind their comments with their counter argument, but that would be the end of the discussion.

For the most part, the only segments on any of the news channels that are actually 'news', are the second string folks manning the anchor desk between the A list personalities who have shows.
The shows are commentary.
And that's what the White House doesn't like. Fox News' commentary folks are good at what they do, they attract a large audience which generates revenue for the parent company, and unlike all the other stations they don't swing left (for the most part). Therefore, center-right viewers tune in to get what the other stations don't offer.
So, when people watch news, the left tend to favor CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, Etc etc. Everybody else goes to mainly one place for television news. Obama drowns Fox, and he wins.

If not for the day we would not know what night was.
Fox along with Rush and Internet sites have opened up the public debate that was completely owned by the left for generations.
They hate that they have lost that and Fox is just a name and entity to focus that hate on.

Wow. New York must start deer hunting season early.
Ours here in Nebraska doesn't open up until mid-November.....although due to the surplus of deer, this year Nebraska had a special one-time one-week deer-hunting season in early October.

NY has a convlouted system of a northern zone/southern zone with bow and muzzleloader seasons attached.
Northern zone starts in October,southern late November with the other stuff intermixed.
Go figure huh? :whatever:

Actually, and I'm pretty sure that Carl knows this (but didn't mention it, because a microscopic number of hunters actually bowhunt the Northern Zone), bowhunting season for deer begins at the end of September, but only if you've not killed one in bow season the last year. If you have, it starts October 1st.
It's "convoluted," "twisted," etc. All I know is that I'll probably need a SCUBA tank to hunt tomorrow, as the camp I belong to is supposed to get an inch or so of rain tomorrow. Got all my raingear out, ready for then.
To go back to the OP . . . Yes, the newsies actually did their job, which is to remain dispassionate and report the news. They all know that if FNC is excluded, they could be next--for reasons that will not be explained to them, or explained very vaguely. For once, they showed a spine. They deserve this:
