Obama’s war on Fox escalates

Pundit & Pundette have the story. Obama is desperate here. And, in my view making a huge mistake in the long run. Of course, he might be and likely is, trying to distract from other issues, like health care…

Unbelievable and chilling. Any guesses on what they might do next?

Unprecedented: White House tries to ban FOX from press pool

Today the White House stepped up its attack on Fox News, announcing that the network would no longer be able to conduct interviews with officials as a member of the Press Pool. The Pool is a five-member group consisting of ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News and NBC organized by the White House Correspondents Association. Its membership is not subject to oversight by the government.

Before an interview with “Pay Czar” Kenneth Feinberg, the administration announced that Fox News would be banned from the press pool. This marks the first time in history that an administration had attempted to ban an entire network from the press pool.

It is of note that the other networks protested this. Credit them for that! I wonder if Obama pushes TOO hard on this, if the other networks might, turn on him, make him pay? HMMMM
