Just when you thought the White House couldn't possibly do anything to make their bizarre feud with the Fox News Channel an even larger spectacle - the administration manages to take it to another level.
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. However, that pales in comparison to the latest petty stunt.
On the Oct. 22 broadcast of Fox News Channel's "Special Report," host Bret Baier revealed a White House pool announcement was offering Kenneth Feinberg, the "Special Master for Compensation," better known as the White House "pay czar" for interviews - all except for one network - Fox News.
"Today there was an announcement by the administration," Baier said. "They were putting out the pay czar, Kenneth Feinberg, as we showed you earlier for the White House pool - that Feinberg would be doing a round-robin interviews with the five-network pool that covers the White House - basically shares the costs and the daily coverage duties of covering the president. Fox News has been a member since 1997."
The press pool is comprised of the five major TV news organizations - CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox News. However, according to Baier, the other members declined to participate unless Fox News was included.
"When they put out that message, they specified that all members of the pool were welcome except Fox News," Baier said. "Well the other members of the TV pool said, ‘Well we're not going to do the interview unless Fox News is included."
Baier also pointed out how disproportionate the White House press pool's access to the president has been. According to the "Special Report" host, NBC has conducted 12 interviews, CBS with 11 interviews, ABC conducting nine interviews and CNN with seven interviews. But Fox News - a total of two interviews.

If they didn't do that, they'd look like part of the "government approved" media, and I doubt they'd like that very much.
I have to agree with you here
Thu, 10/22/2009 - 23:45 ET by sozinhoI think they're more concerned about their own image than whether FOX News gets a fair shake on this.
Unless the other nets report widely on this, nothing improved...

Thu, 10/22/2009 - 23:54 ET by TexasMom0517I would never have believed it possible, but this administration combines the worst characteristics of both the Nixon and Carter presidencies- paranoid and vituperative like Nixon, obdurate and narrow-minded like Carter. If the country survives, it will be a miracle.
Don't be dumbfounded
Thu, 10/22/2009 - 20:33 ET by Tim GrahamI thought that if Obama's people got this petty, the other nets would object. If Gibbs had offered Feinberg live on all the others' morning shows, that would have been accepted, but not this way. It's way too clumsy and censorious.
I hear ya, Tim

Nothing like a pool to bring folks together, I guess.
agree
Thu, 10/22/2009 - 21:47 ET by mom_roxThe previous spat was just the White House sniping at Fox News. Had the other networks acquiesced to the 'exclusionary' request, it would have made the networks complicit in censorship. Even they knew not to cross that line.

Sad
Thu, 10/22/2009 - 20:25 ET by srqvetWhat a sad commentary on the media today when we are actually shocked and heartened by the MSM doing the right thing. Nice they stood by Fox, but Fox had been paying into the pool. Don't see much of a change in their other news programs (except for the one brave NBC reporter asking BO about the attack on Fox).
Shocked that they would do
Thu, 10/22/2009 - 21:32 ET by ThisnThatShocked that they would do the right thing, yes. Heartened, no. They may have done the right thing, but only after a lot of soul-searching first, I'll bet.
Hey, WH. We ain't gonna participate without Fox News. Take that!

Thu, 10/22/2009 - 20:59 ET by SlyrrPres. Bush kept liberal reporters around and didn't freeze them out - not even that withered old hag, Helen Thomas. The worst he did was ignore them when they got all snitty, but he didn't try to ban them.
This administration is truly terrified of answering tough questions. You can tell at every appearance, at every event. They're scared to death of coming face to face with a protestor, or someone who asks them a difficult question. Because they don't know how to answer.
This administration is used to staged events, paid rent-a-mobs, sicophants, softball treatment, cream puff interviews and MSNBC style slavishness.
The American people are used to a free press, and Obama's cowardly attempts to silence his critics are something that the people can plainly see. This is only going to make voters madder and madder at this churlish administration and it's gutless puppets.

Thu, 10/22/2009 - 22:33 ET by Georgia GirlWell, there you have it. If CNN, ABC, NBC and CBS are wisely standing up for the rights of FOXNEWS, it's over. The silly "let's get FOXNEWS" bit is toast.
This mindboggling temper tantrum (brought to you by the White House) has done nothing but make the administration look even more like children. Let me be more specific: ill-behaved, very spoiled children. Let's not give children a bad name. ^_^
I didn't think the public would buy this con job (attempt) to muzzle FOXNEWS. It's backfiring -- no shocker. But the press pool not buying in (kudos) should speed things along; it's insanity for the WH to keep this desperate, obnoxious, undignified "coup de main" going. This has been so incredibly base that it's equal parts sad and humorous.
We Americans like our freedoms. We don't want the WH telling us what to think. We're funny that way.

Clinton's idiot liberal gang was gung ho in '93 but they knuckled under. Obama and his crew seem not to know they're playing with fire, or not to care. I think the best they can hope for is to back off and let the story go away.
As for the other networks, their hand was forced - stick up for Fox News or they could be next.

'Doubling down on stupid is not a particularly good idea'~Breitbart
The problem with doubling
Fri, 10/23/2009 - 08:02 ET by dscottThe problem with doubling down is you risk loosing everything. Obama in going too far may have blown their whole strategy of managing the news. If the rest of the MSM make the reality check that their ratings are dependent on reporting both sides of the story, then Obama can't manage the story line. It's ironic that Axelrod and Emanuel claimed FNC was only giving a view or perspective of the news, when in fact they were the ones who are PROJECTING their own attempts to manage the story line to distract the public from seeing the other points of view.
Obama and his buddies can pretend all they want that FNC (or the rest of us) doesn't exist or isn't relevant, their problem is they can't smother the story anymore because the majority of the public has learned to get their news from more than one source. That in a nutshell is why the libs are having such problems passing ObamaCare, it's like Bernie Madoff trying to sell shares to investors in his guaranteed income fund with Adam Smith heckling him saying there is no such thing as a sure bet.

Wise Guys Don't Tell Lies
Thu, 10/22/2009 - 23:26 ET by AbraxosThe veteran WH pool reporters know each other pretty well, and I think there's a lot of mutual respect among them. They've all got the same enemy. The Fox guys, Garrett, Angle, and previously Baer, are all superb professionals and the pool knows it. I've never seen a single biased report from any of them.
So, personally, I think it was the reporters who got together and said "no more," not the network execs. Those are the pimps in bed with the Obamas.
The pool knows what's going on. Who knows what they talk about when the Rahmbo gestapo isn't watching them.
I just hope the WH continues pushing this stuff further and further because most Americans, regardless of party, are fair people, and not as gullible as the Dems think they are. No one believes anything that BS artist Gibbs says anymore. Obama's electric kool-aid acid is wearing off.

Another Lie from Barack Obama
Fri, 10/23/2009 - 01:35 ET by Retired Geek"I will listen to you, especially when we disagree."
Barack Obama
Victory Speech 2008
Barack Obama is exposing his childish, petty and weak emotions and leadership every time he goes against his own words.
The entire Barack Obama Administration claim that Rush Limbaugh and Fox News are insignificant, that they only give opinions rather than 'Real News' - why then is the entire Barack Obama administration being sent out to attack them?
Why, because Barack Obama is a 'Narcissistic Megalomaniac', who suffers emotional torture every time someone disagrees with him or his 'Special Anointing' of the 'One the World is waiting for'.
Barack Obama actually believes there is 'No Higher Power' than Barack Obama and his 'Cultist Followers' agree.

Grateful~
Fri, 10/23/2009 - 09:08 ET by Georgia GirlWhen the press pool stood up for FOXNEWS, they stood up for the Constitution -- and whenever that happens, we are all winners. I'm grateful.
Speaking specifically about the press pool, I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt. The press pool operates a little differently, in that the members usually have pretty good repore with each other and operate on mutual respect -- they are generally more "buttoned-up" and earnest in applying the real principles of journalism. I don't think of that group as the usual monkey business going on; I expect more from them. I think it's entirely possible it really was a matter of principle for the members of the press pool (not necessarily the network big wigs) -- and that the conviction and follow-through of those members made a difference.
But whatever the motivations may be, they did the right thing -- and I think they deserve credit for that.

Fri, 10/23/2009 - 08:54 ET by Prester JohnThey are not acting on emotion and they are not particularly acting out of a sense of entitlement.
They are acting out of ideological certainty and are simply showing their frustration that not all the MSM and the unwashed masses share that ideology.
In one sense they were rather stupid in that they assumed they would face no serious opposition to what they want to do, on the other hand they were smart enough in 2008 to figure out a way to convince the traditional Dem base and independents to vote for them.
Now the question is whether or not their arrogance and ideological purity will cause them to dig in their heels and fight even harder as opposed to the Clintons who learned from their mistakes and changing their tactics so they could win a second term.
We all know that for the Clintons it was all about them, but for BHO what is it all about?
Is it just about him or his ideology?

Fri, 10/23/2009 - 09:45 ET by Sestren_NKA lot of people I know are sick of Obama being everywhere they just turn off the TV whenever he pops on. That said, less Obama = higher ratings for Fox News? Just a lil' thought.
Scary indeed!
Fri, 10/23/2009 - 11:04 ET by StogieGuyAbsoulutely no doubt that this stuff comes from the very top. Obama is clearly an admirer of Hugo Chavez, as he's borrowing all sorts of strategies from this "mentor" - including how to clear the playing field of broadcast "enemies" (enemies, in this case, meaning those who relay the ugly truth). Chavez successfully yanked the license of his biggest broadcast critic, threatened the rest (causing all but one to get in line) and is working toward yanking the license of the last one (Globovision). Why do I tell you this? Because the tactics are the same. In this case, BHO can't yank a license - so he's using a different strategy to eliminate the 'threat': by marginalizing FNC.
If you look at a lot of other stuff Obama is doing, it also bears a lot of similarity to the way Chavez has "reformed" Venezuela - especially since 2003. Only Obama is being more aggressive than Chavez was. HC has been tremendously successful in enforcing a socialist/communist revolution and I have absolutely no doubt that his actions are a model for BHO. These are truly scary times and we - as a nation - need to wake the Hell up as to what's happening.
Another successful tactic of the ultra-left is to accuse the right of doing the exact thing that the lefties are doing. Fine example: that hag Joy Behar accusing FNC of "lying"! If there are any liars out there in the media, they are surely working for the MSM (especially NBC). How they continue to get away with it is amazing.
The only reason this particular trick didn't work is that the others in the MSM know that they could be next. So, BHO and his thugs will think of another way to silence Fox. If only we had more than one Obama critic among the networks, it would be so much easier to keep the information flowing.
