The New York Times has a piece on what they characterize as "intensifying feud" between Fox News and the administration.
“We’re going to treat them the way we would treat an opponent,” said Anita Dunn, the White House communications director, in a telephone interview on Sunday. “As they are undertaking a war against Barack Obama and the White House, we don’t need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organizations behave.”

Fox enjoys more viewership than all the other news outlets combined only because they (at least more than the others) still do investigative reporting on our (We the People's) behalf.
“We’re going to treat them the way we would treat an opponent,” said Anita Dunn, the White House communications director, in a telephone interview on Sunday. “As they are undertaking a war against Barack Obama and the White House, we don’t need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organizations behave.”
It sounds to me like they are declaring war on the curiosities and interests of We the People. To Anita Dunn I would say if you label us an opponent and force us to fight back ... we will.

we don’t need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organizations behave.” How would they recognize a "legitimate news organizaiton" if they saw one??

Does the White House not realize that them coming out solely against FNC as their only critic just exposes the bias of all the other news outlets?

Bingo ... every other news organization should be deeply ashamed that they aren’t on the White House’s “media enemies list”.

"I would love to know what was said in the meeting between Axelrod and Ailes." The way the White House is screeching these past days it appears that Ailes told Axelrod to go hump himself.

Liberal journalists now think that "speaking truth to power" consists of -- "Oh, Mr. Obama! You are the greatest leader this country has ever had! I can't believe how biased those meanie heads at Fox are! They just don't know you like I know you!"
MSM has no shame at all.

I said the same thing this morning.

Correcting:
"As they are undertaking a war against Barack Obama and the White House, we don’t need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate captive leftist news organizations behave.”

If BO can't handle a journalist asking questions harder than "What's your favorite color?" ....
....then how can he be expected to negotiate with Iran, or N. Korea, or China?
I guarantee that their expectations will be a little higher.
