White House Cock-Blocked on Fox News Freeze Out (VIDEO)

Well, the White House war on Fox News has been going on for a while now, and today it was going to continue. The Obama administration was making the “pay czar,” Kenneth Feinberg available to all members of the White House press pool for round-robin interviews, but specifically said “everybody but Fox.”

FINALLY the other media outlets found their testicles and said basically ‘if you don’t include Fox, then we won’t play either.’ So the White House relented. However, I’m not sure it was completely altruistic on their part.

So to the network execs I say… GOOD on ya! ALL journalists should stand in principle for an open and free dialogue, including those with opposing views. That’s the way it should be – the press should stand together to ASK the tough questions; not be in the tank for any political person of power.

Major Garrett did get that sit-down, but the White House pared the interview time for each reporter down to 2 minutes from 5. Personally I think it was a ‘warning’ shot across the bow to all the other news organizations not to over-step their bounds, but if the White House REALLY wants an enemies list, all they need to do is piss off the ENTIRE press corps. The press will only ingest so much Kool-Aid before they have to throw it up and realize they’ve been poisoned by the server.

Final observation: The White House “pay czar,” Kenneth Feinberg, took umbrage at being called a “czar,” saying the word ‘czar’ had a negative connotation. However, according to the chyron and his WikiPedia page, his official title is “Special Master for compensation.” Does anybody else besides me have a problem with the term “Special Master?” I guess it fits if you’re deciding what someone’s work is worth, but then I guess those over whom you are a ‘master’ must indeed be your slaves.

    This is no worse than when George Bush was ignoring Helen Thomas and calling on White House male prostitute Jeff Gannon for softballs at his press conferences.

    This is exactly what liberals stand for. I actually felt a tinge of sympathy for you when I read this. It quickly passed. Ms, you are now past the point of compromising your ideals, you are officially into the "hey liberals, we agree with you now, are we good?" territory.

    Conservatives never actually thought the shoe may be on the other foot some day. Liberals always knew it would. You have completely sold out your principles. Lucky for the rest of the country, it's too late for you to have a say in what we do next.

    Bush had more czar's than Obama has. You are worried about their qualifications? The fact that Bush put Alberto Gonzalez in charge of the DOJ is enough to make us just laugh at your concerns about the qualifications of Obama's policy "czars".

    Fox news sold out credibility for ratings a long time ago. Expect no sympathy now. You can have your high ratings. You can also dominate talk radio. No one under the age of 30 with a college level education (above the mason dixon line) watches Fox news or listens to talk radio for their facts.

    Also, did you see the 25%ers are now officially at 20%? That's right, when asked their political party, only 1 in 5 American citizen now responds with Republican - the lowest number in over 25 years. Conservatives have not adjusted to the realities of the last ten years. You are against every group that is increasing in size in America.

    Conservatives are the dinosaurs. Progressives are the meteor.

    ka boom.

    sleep tight red states, you better hope us elites in the northeast and on the west coast keep federal dollars flowing to your states. economically, you stopped pulling your own weight a few years back and if you don't step up, you may find yourself living in a consolidated state called Oklahansas.

    over and out.

    have a great weekend.
