In what must to the far-left seem like adding insult to injury, Fox News could end up with Helen Thomas's vacated press briefing room seat.
What's more, rival network CNN's senior White House correspondent would be perfectly okay with it reports the Huffington Post:
At least one competitor is backing Fox News for the newly vacated front-row seat in the White House briefing room: CNN Senior White House Correspondent Ed Henry.
Henry, who is on the White House Correspondents Association board, told the Wall Street Journal that he thinks Fox News should get Helen Thomas's seat now that she has retired.
"When CNN bid for the front row in 2007, Fox could have challenged it and had a knock-down, drag-out fight like the one we might have this time," Henry said. "But they did the gentlemanly thing and said CNN had more seniority. I've got to honor that commitment."
