You'd think the president of the United States would be more concerned with destroying those mass-murders that killed 3000 of our fellow citizens on our own soil and are totally committed to destroying all of us in due time than being dedicated to this childish war with Fox. It seems Fox committed the unforgivable sin of doing a fact check after interviewing Tammy Duckworth back in Augest:

QUOTE (Fox story exerpt)
The White House stopped providing guests to "Fox News Sunday" after host Chris Wallace fact-checked controversial assertions made by Tammy Duckworth, assistant secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs, in August.

Dunn said fact-checking an administration official was "something I've never seen a Sunday show do."

"She criticized 'Fox News Sunday' last week for fact-checking -- fact-checking -- an administration official," Wallace said Sunday. "They didn't say that our fact-checking was wrong. They just said that we had dared to fact-check."


Imagine - fact checking gets you labeled as a "non-news organisation" - see story. A couple of the usual White House clowns have even approached their favorite news orgs and recommended that they shun Fox! laugh.gif How infantile! This non-sense is very good for Fox's ratings but makes the president and his staff look like petty dufusses. Hmmm...

Hey Mr President - how about defending the republic - forget fact-checking news organisations for a while. Go destroy the Jihadists and get past this crazy anti-Fox fixation. Fox doesn't intend to kill us all, OK? If you're worried about fact checks then maybe you and your minions should be truthful - duh. Did you really expect all the news orgs would bow down and worship at your feet? Grow up!

Hey Fox - keep up the good work. Apparently, you're the only cable news organisation that remembers what journalism is about. You're certainly the only one that bothers to look behind the veil of BS that clothes this White House.

I bet Al Qaeda shakes in their robes as they see the American president in action against Fox laugh.gif

Fox has a news channel? unsure.gif

ArchAngel
Sure do, Idmeister.

It's not the Communist News Network (CNN)
All Barack Channel (ABC)
Notable Barack Channel (NBC)
Clinton-Barack System (CBS)

The ones you are used to.
Idiot

Bush? I don't recall his staff ever going to war with a news organisation, slandering them as non-journalists - even those whose major career impetus was to ridicule him daily. The letter you quoted was respectfully pointing out what the White House viewed as inconsistencies and bias in NBC's portrayal of the news. The White House didn't launch some inane war against NBC and petition the other news orgs to shun them.

Don't get me wrong - George Bush did make it pretty easy for his opponents to ridicule him, but when he yelled into the megaphone to the New York rescuers at ground zero, "... the people that knocked these buildings down will hear from all of us soon!" he wasn't referring to CNN or MSNBC rolleyes.gif And those people he was referring to did hear from us, too!

Ya freek! biggrin.gif
