White House Loses Bid to Exclude Fox News From Pay Czar Interview

The Obama administration on Thursday tried to make \"pay czar\" Kenneth Feinberg available for interviews to every member of the White House pool except Fox News. But the Washington bureau chiefs of the five TV networks decided that none of their reporters would interview Feinberg unless Fox News was included.

I can't wait to see how the Ego-house responds.

here's the story

As much as I hate fixed news, you can't deny the number of people who follow them. I don't like this move of the white house, even though hands down I agree with them that even their news portion is incredibly biased.

In all honesty however, I think this is just a stratigic move to put the spot light on fox news and force them to make more of an effort to actually be \"fair and balanced\" during a crucial health care month.

I agree that Obama went a little overboard in his war with FOX. He just painted a target on himself. But I have a suggestion, maybe Obama should just do what Bushie did, install a party ringer as a 'fake' journalist, like Gannon, in the White House Press Corps to throw nice little softball questions at him.

OR this could turn out to be one of the most incredibly STUPID move they ever did. they are just getting FOX more exposure and this could possible turn out to enlighten some fence sitters that "THOUGHT" they were getting the straight dirt from the networks.

Like I said, Obama painted a target on himself.

Perhaps, but the bottom line is, you and I arn't talking about health care right now. Even better is that its your thread.

They knew fox would be on this story like white on rice.

VALID POINT, distract and deflect from the real issue. anything to push a bill through

So when your exalted leader did something partisan, it was nothing, ho hum. But when the other side's leader does something similar, b*tch, whine, b*tch, whine. When in a glass house.........

nope not at all. but your life is stuck in the last administration, all of the world woes are not GWB's faults, but somehow you always seem revert back to him. he's out of office. and he's not at fault for the things this administration does and you need to start realizing that fact.

Can anyone link the examples of Fox News telling lies about the health care debate, I'd like to compare them to the number of times Obama, the democrats in Congress, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS etc. have done so. Just for a little perspective on this whining Obama is doing right now.
