Thank Goodness The Other Media Was Willing To Take A Stand

Fox News today posted the story on what happened at the White House yesterday when President Obama tried to exclude Fox News from a briefing by “pay czar” Kenneth
Feinberg.  Mr Feinberg was going to be available for interviews to every member of the White House
pool except Fox News. The pool is the five-network rotation that for
decades has shared the costs and duties of daily coverage of the
presidency.

The Washington bureau chiefs of the five TV networks decided that if Fox News was not included, they did not want to do the interviews.  Because the other networks took a stand to defend Fox News, the White House backed down and gave Fox News access to the “pay czar.”  The Obama Administration has been at war with Fox News for some time now; when President Obama made his rounds of the Sunday talk shows recently, he omitted Fox News.  This is very petty behavior on the part on the President.
