The White House's feud with Fox News has caused an irresistible buzz in Washington, but many are wondering precisely what prompted President Obama and his advisers to go ballistic against the network.
Here's the answer: Team Obama was pushed over the brink by a growing list of what it considered outrageous anti-Obama conduct by Fox that showed no sign of stopping. Obama's advisers say that they seethed while Fox commentators used their shows to encourage protests against Obama's healthcare proposals last summer. Team Obama fumed as Fox personalities tried to pressure some controversial Obama advisers to resign. White House officials say that Fox has continued to stir the pot against Obama in a regular pattern—raising a criticism, having Republican congressional leaders comment on it, and then using those comments to keep the criticism alive.
A break point came when Fox tried to create the impression that angry anti-Obama protesters at congressional town hall meetings last summer signaled that Obama's healthcare proposals were dying, a story line that other news organization picked up. White House officials say this was untrue, that those proposals were not dying at all.
Another break point came when Fox commentator Chris Wallace called White House officials "crybabies." A senior Obama adviser tells U.S. News that White House staffers developed "a growing realization" that the president would never get a fair shake from Fox.

Obama wants 100% media compliance to kiss his butt.
Poor little baby White House. :-( NOT
That there is quite an alphabet soup.
A new verse. No longer is is Bush’s fault:
It’s Fox’s fault!!!!!!
Translation: They reported the news.
Pray for America and Our Troops
That’s funny.
He’s rattled.
He’s gonna do something really stupid.
Keep it up!
Ridiculous! They should try to emulate Bush’s stoicism in the face of a far worse media onslaught.
I think it was all Glenn Beck. He’s exposing threat after threat, lie after lie, and he comes on strong and informed. So to undermine Beck, in my opinion, the White House is diverting the smear to the entire network, MSNBC is attacking Beck every chance it can, and the satire machine is hard at work against Beck from Hollywood to the New York elite.
Awwwww, can you hear the violins?
They were “over the brink” before they were elected.
So far Left that if the world was flat, they’d fall off.
All duly reported in reverential terms by one of the 99 percenters in the mainstream media.
Can any one tell me where Fox News actually fabricated any story about this White House?
These thugs are crybabies. And this guy should turn in his credentials.
As Michael Barone said these people live in upscale urban areas that are overwhelmingly popoulated by people who think like them. Or they live in Academia or minority areas and the media is just an echo chamber for them. They do not know how to deal with people who disagree with them other than like hard core lefties usually do. That is scary.
I’m sure the fact that Glenn Beck is getting inside info from an apparent mole in the white house isn’t helping much either. LOL
So, I guess this makes this “administration”....crybabies??!!
And after seeing their list of *concerns*, that's EXACTLY what they are.
Translation: Fox News was turning on the lights and the cockroaches didn't like it.
Terrorists and other enemies of America have to be licking their chops after seeing what little it takes to get inside of Obamas head. His skin is far too ‘thin’.
He and his administration have very low emotional intelligence. Their buttons are easily pushed. Stupidity of this magnitude will eventually lead to a disaster for our nation. It sucks that he’s going to take the rest of us down with him....
“We are not going to allow people to misrepresent the president or his program,” a White House spokesman warns.

Zero needs to put some vagisil on it.
Nothing drives the left more crazy than truthful criticism
They are used to a big circle jerk of mutual adoration
They don’t know how to handle adversity
As a result, FOX IS ENJOYING TREMENDOUS RATINGS while the com symp propagandists are laying off staff by the THOUSANDS.
OoOoOoOo....... We’re scared. We’re just waiting for a fight, bring it on, shut them down, watch what happeneds.
The truth can often push one over the brink.
They had the nerve to question things that “Mack Daddy the Zebra” had said (lied about) done (lied about that he would not do) and even considered that he was a liar who NEVER, EVER tells the truth.
This attempted snub at Fox may very well be the tipping point...I hope the attacks by the WH continue. They really are showing an anti-constitutional face to people who may not have been paying attention before.
Oh, poor babies. They just can’t stand people exercising their God-given rights to free speech and free press. Obama’s iron fist must stomp out all dissent... or he will throw a tantrum. What a sick excuse of a petty tin-pot tyrant.
Hey, Obozo,.....eat me,... you prick!
“Frank Marshall Davis works closely in communist causes with Vernon Jarrett in Chicago. Davis moves to hawaii where he eventually meets and mentors a young Barack Obama. Then Obama moves to Chicago where his career is promoted by both Davis’s old colleague Vernon Jarrett and the Communist Party. Vernon Jarrett’s daughter-in-law employs Barack Obama’s fiance, befriends the family and becomes one of President Obama’s most trusted advisors. The Communist Party throws its entire weight behind Obama’s presidential campaign.
Are we expected to believe that this is all mere coincidence?
Would there be an Obama/Jarrett relationship today, if there had been no Frank Marshall Davis/Jarrett connection through the Communist Party of post war Chicago?
What role, if any, has the modern Communist Party USA played in fostering that relationship in more recent times?
The Communist Party USA continues to back their “friend” Barack Obama.
How deeply has the Communist Party been involved in advancing Obama’s political career-through the Jarrett family, or by other means?
The answers to these questions will have major implications for the future of what’s left of the free world.”
Well, thank God it was an American news outlet and not a foreign nuke-armed enemy to push the WH over the brink.
At least we can keep our dirty laundry onshore /s
These cry babies ragged on Pres. Bush from day one, but now they are whining that ONE news outlet isn’t fawning over Barack Hussein Obama...mmm...mmm...mmm.
They look weak and foolish.
FWIW, in June of 2008 Al Sharpton was booked for Greta's "On the Record". He was a no show. Instead, he appeared on CNN opposite Greta. His excuse was that the Obama campaign told him to do it. This was more than four months before election day.
odumbo said,let me be perfectly clear, fox is what we inherited from Bush
And that whole alphabet slavishly wallows in the tank for the P.O.S.
I do not understand why America is permitting this arrogant administration’s operating completely outside the Constitution of the United States. Why is B.O. above the law?
So all that crap about “no-drama Obama?” Just another element of false image-making.
they are unhinged..treasury dept tried to claim that fox made all of this up..but CBS has confirmed that they did try to freeze out fox.
How stupid do they have to be to lie about what happened. It is a bald face lie ..that is so easily caught.
“We are not going to allow people to misrepresent the president or his program,” a White House spokesman warns. “We won’t allow people to attack the president and his programs without making sure the president’s voice is heard in the process.”
Tough job putting down critics when the Kenyan is a psychopathic liar. Every word out of his mouth is a lie.
SOOOOO! Do you think that Bush liked what was being said about him by the MSM for eight years? GEEZ grow up folks and get over yourselves! Did it not occur to anyone before running for President that perhaps the free press might question you everyday for the decisions you make? Or question the company you keep? You are living under a microscope get used to it or give the job up.
KEEP UP THE PRESSURE FOX AND BECK!!! IT’S WORKING!!!
It doesn’t take much to push Chicago thugs over the brink.
Excuse me, he was fine with stations consistently going after Bush. He** he is still attacking Bush.
Hey Obama if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!
another words chairman zero and his disciples in the WH were concerned because Fox spoke truth to power and the truth was winning out.....
The answer, of course, is "NO!"
Chris Wallace nailed it - - these Ubama scum are a bunch of crybabies.
Ironically, all of those Democrat newsrooms had to use lies and spin to defame Bush whereas Fox merely has to tell the truth about Ubama and the communists he has surrounded himself with for them to get their panties in a bunch.
Its just a matter of time before they pull a Waco on the Fox building in downtown Manhattan.
