The Obama Administration has attacked Fox News on numerous occasions.  In October, Fox News<\/a> reported on an effort by the White House to prevent Fox News from being included in news interviews of “pay czar” Kenneth Feinberg.  <\/p>\n

In case you have forgotten:<\/p>\n

“The Treasury Department on Thursday tried to make “pay czar” Kenneth Feinberg available for interviews to every member of the network 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 and other Washington institutions.” <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This effort was unsuccessful.  The Washington bureau chiefs of the five TV networks decided that none of them would interview Kenneth Feinberg unless Fox was included.  They stood up for the freedom of the press and refused to be bullied into excluding Fox News.  <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/span>The President has made numerous comments ragarding Fox News during his time in office, but the network’s ratings keep rising, and the organization is respected by its colleagues.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, Ed Morrissey at Hot Air<\/a> reported that Fox News will be moving to the front row of the White House briefing room.  Helen Thomas’ former seat (front row center) will go to Associated Press, and Fox News will get Associated Press’ current front row seat.  These seating changes were voted on unanimously by The White House Correspondents Association.<\/p>\n
