Shortly after the White House declared "war" on Fox's news division last month, calling it an arm of the Republican Party and attempting to freeze it out of a pooled press briefing, pundits on both the left and the right cried foul, summoning up comparisons to Richard Nixon's paranoid, vindictive presidency and based on the transcript of a Nixon tape below that comparison is very justified.....
The White House has not been happy about Fox's relentless pursuit of the truth, unlike the rest of the mainstream media Fox has covered ALL the news including tea party rallies, anti-health care reform town halls, ACORN's missteps and White House adviser Van Jones' unveiling as a radical Marxist 9/11 "truther."
In September, Obama froze out "Fox News Sunday" with Chris Wallace after appearing on five other Sunday shows to tout health care reform. Then, on Oct. 11, Anita Dunn, White House Communications director, went on rival cable news channel CNN to declare "the reality of it is that Fox News often operates almost as the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party," a sentiment echoed by presidential adviser David Axelrod, who said "they're not really a news station."
Recently there have been rumors of a pending truce, but the White House seems to be ratcheting up the battle. There are reports the White House is telling Democratic Political Strategists do not appear on Fox--or else:

They’ll have to lock Beckel in a White House closet to keep him off TV.
You mean to tell me if I watch Fox I won’t have to deal with any of their b.s.?
Does this mean Geraldo has to go?
Yes. It makes you look down right stup-id when you have a (side by side) comparison with Conservatives and all you have is that you can’t have a logical thought process without talking trash, without bringing in race, intelligence, heritage and other forms of bigotry.

Bob Beckel is one of the least successful Democrat ‘strategists’ there is. I swear the Dems just let him prattle on to throw off the Republicans.
I guess its War on Fox II
For Beckel, it would take a garage, not a closet...
I think I heard Jessie say, “Keep out da foxes!”
Watching and listening to Bob Beckel is like watching your dog eat his own vomit and roll in poop.
“Theyll have to lock Beckel in a White House closet to keep him off TV.”
Lock him up and throw away the key!!!!
Great Strategy here by the WH. America is a mostly conservative and FOX is the highest rated cable news channel. Libs can stay on the rarely viewed channels and talk to themselves and be out of touch. Sounds good to me.
I am all for conservative thought purity on Fox. The White House isn’t thinking, is that really want they want?
lol
Could it be...no Juan Williams and Maura Liasson on the Panel...be still my heart!!
Not having to listen to Beckel and that other sniveling weasel of Democrat whose name I can’t think of BSing every time you watch a Fox show ought to send their ratings even higher.
So that being said, the next time that FOX needs a "Liberal Democrat" consultant, they should hire someone like Rarel Koveski (pictured), to speak for all liberal Democrats:

I can’t believe that Fox & Friends had on that lying mouthpiece from CAIR this morning. What were they thinking?
Ugh! Now there's a visual I won't soon rid myself of whenever I see this hack on Fox. Rather fitting and funny, actually. LOL!
Didn’t Clinton get Brit Hume (ABC?) bounced off White House Press Corp after he asked a tough question - how he got to Fox.
Wait a minute..hold the phone...have you NO respect..Bob Beckel is no longer a “Democratic Strategist”.....when he puts out babble on Fox News, he wants to be called Professor. He thinks he’s some kind of a big deal at George Washington University...
Anybody seen Doug Schoen on Fox lately? I haven’t.
He has been critical of some Dhimmi legislation.
