White House communications chief : Our favorite Fox News reporter is…

…not whom you would expect.

Anita Dunn, the communications director, who is leading up the White House’s rapid response effort, did point out to me that there was at least one Fox News employee who she considered an upstanding member of his profession. Did she call out Fox News Sunday’s Chris “Biggest Bunch of Crybabies” Wallace? Or Shepard “Public Option” Smith?

No and no. “We think Major Garrett is a legitimate reporter,” Dunn told me, referring to the network’s White House correspondent. Sorry Major, if that hurts your rep among certain parts of the Fox News viewership. I would add that I personally have a professional affinity for Major, since we are both alums of Mother Jones magazine. (Note to Glenn Beck: Mother Jones magazine is named for Mary Harris Jones, who was a socialist. Put this fact up on your chalkboard and I am sure you will quickly conclude that both Garrett and I constitute a KGB sleeper cell with White House press credentials–a clear threat to the republic. Or maybe not. Nothing wrong with asking questions. Etc.)

Ping.

FWIW ping.

The more they attack, the morte people watch Fox News.

Same with Rush.

WE HAVE A KINDERGARTEN OPERATING IN OUR WHITE HOUSE.

[Carley]

The entire WH is filled with psychos.

I have no problem with Garrett but then again, I actually know the difference between straight reporting and commentary.

[Nachum]

I am watching the video on the link right now. Major Garrett showing just how big a lefty he is.

[gusopol3]

They must have something incriminating on him.

I like Major well enough, but I wish he could get through one report without asking and answering his own questions.

Garrett a cnn cast off.

The entire White House press core is a commie sleeper cell.

Yeah, you could count on this White House's favorite reporter being a guy...

Garrett a cnn cast off...but actually before he was at CNN Major was a regular on Paul Weirich's (sp?) conservative channel NET during the bleak days of the Clintons in the 90's - so many established names now - Kelly Fitzpatrick Conway, Stuart Rotherberg, Charlie Cook, Stephen Moore, Dan Mitchell, Armstrong Williams, Phyllis Schafly, and I believe a young lady named Ann Coulter - were first seen on that channel and helped a lot of us survive the Clinton era - Major seems to be returning to his roots at FOX......

Note to Glenn Beck

Is it just me, or is Allahpundit slowly wandering off the reservation?

[Fu-fu2]

According to another freeper, Garrett is now listed as a Congressional reporter on the Fox site—not at the White House any longer.

Major Garrett is not a part of the solution, he is part of the problem! When he can develop the gonads to ask tough questions, then and only then will he have earned his FNC credentials. This is not about a good old boys club Major, this is about the future of our country! The future that your kids and grandkids will be living with! Are you OK with that with that considering your suppressed reporting of this corrupt administration??????

[Karma Police]

I met Major on the campaign trail, he’s a nice guy who takes his job seriously. He and ABC’s Jake Tapper are pretty much the only 2 out of the entire WH press corp who give Gibbs a hard time during daily briefings too.

These people makes the Clinton team in 1993 look like grown-ups.

They have no idea what they’re doing.
