Is the White House playing favorites again with media outlets?
There has been a back-and-forth between Fox News and the White House ever since President Barack Obama took his oath in 2009. And the latest episode appears to have occurred on Sunday after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates made the rounds on the Sunday morning talk show circuit to discuss Libya, appearing on ABC’s “This Week,” NBC’s “Meet the Press,” and CBS’s “Face the Nation,” but not “Fox News Sunday.”
That drew a response from Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace, following his interview with potential 2012 GOP presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich.
“Of course we wanted to get the White House view on Libya,” Wallace said. “However, they chose to offer Secretary of State Clinton and Defense Secretary Gates to ABC, CBS and NBC, but not to Fox. Despite the fact that we routinely have more viewers than two of those Sunday shows, the Obama team felt no need to explain to the millions of you who watch this program and Fox News why they have sent U.S. servicemen and women into combat. We thought you’d like to know.”

Just following their orders from Soros and his campaign to shut Fox down.
I assume it’s because no other Sunday Show played the Joe Biden clip calling for impeachment and they would.
But they didn’t! Idiots.
Every talking head on Fox news should routinely say;
“We called the white house, but nobody seemed to know which golf course the president was playing today.”
Again? When did they stop?
At least the White House didn’t threaten to lock Chris in the closet!
That was one of the first responses. lol
From what I saw on MTP and ThisWeek, Hillary defended Obama. While SecDef Gates was not happy with this unconstitutional intervention and use of force. This is not America's finest hour.
we can out number soros, exile him from this nation and confiscate his money. He is a jerk.
I completely believe that the WH held off saying anything until Monday because they wanted to see what people were saying before they wrote the speech for the President. The speech will be formed around what people are saying, not the truth. What should be included in this speech is “What will the President do if the wrong people, like terrorists, take over Libya?”
The administration finally found somebody they don't want out of the closet. Amazing!
That is why most democrats and liberals hate Fox and talk radio since they used to be able to get away with not answering tough questions since the liberal friendly media would ask softball questions to them. So they avoid them when they can. Great leaders LOL
Chris, I’m not sure whining about it helps.
Good for Fox News.
It sounds like the Ubama regime is in cahoots with that faggot company, Media Matters.
I'm sure that cluelessly accusing somebody of "whining" doesn't help.
“We made a list of every single person who works for Fox and tried to figure out who might be disgruntled and why, and we went out to try to meet them,” Media Matters executive vice president Ari Rabin-Havt told Politico. “Somebody in that organization is giving us primary source documents.”
.............
Now just why would they want the names of Fox employees?
Intimidation.
Ofcourse we probably could make a list of on-air people that are leaking Company Docs. Starting with Shep and Jamie Colby the weekend WH cheerleader.
LOL. Well, let's hope that your cluelessly accusing me of cluelessly accusing somebody of "whining" does some good, somehow.
Fox is counter-revolutionary. That’s doubleplus ungood.
I wouldn’t care if Wallace had to do this on a weekly basis. He might as well hold up a sign saying, “This administration is indefensible.”
Fox taking a shot at Obama? WOW!
IMO, Chris Wallace is whiner!
