White House vows to play nice with Fox News

WASHINGTON — White House advisers pledged on Sunday to book administration officials on Fox News despite claims by the president's inner circle that the cable network is a GOP mouthpiece whose programming “is geared toward making money.”

Last week, White House communications director Anita Dunn said Fox News operates “almost as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party.” On Sunday, Rahm Emanuel, President Barack Obama's chief of staff, said, “It is not a news organization so much as it has a perspective.”

In response to the criticism, Fox News executive Michael Clemente on Sunday accused the White House of continuing to “declare war on a news organization” rather than focusing on issues such as jobs and health care.

Oh Rats! They finally figured out that they were increasing Fox News ratings! And here I was so hoping they would continue with the drive bys about Fox!

Fox News needs to press onward and increase their truth broadcasting about the Obama Junta.

I hope Fox News has not been forced into drawing in their horns! We will see over the next few weeks!

I agree 100%. I couldn’t care less if anyone from the administration goes on Fox or not. In fact, I’d prefer to just get factual reportage of their activities than to have to hear from them. In fact, I usually change the channel when one of them is on.

“whose programming “is geared toward making money.”

As opposed to CNN who put on Larry King because he’s such a hard hitting journalist.

I’d rather them stay the heck off FOX. Heck, FOX is who helped to get the POS elected with O’Reilly running around claiming Obambi is a “stand up guy”.

I agree 100%.

And after I heard Hill maybe two times, three at the most, I sped the recording up past him every time. We don’t even watch when Axelrod makes the occasional appearance and usually end up speeding the recording up when anyone from the administration is on because I can’t stand to listen to their lies.

The only purpose bringing them on accomplishes is to see them squirm on the ropes and be exposed as the liars, schemers, scumbags and hypocrites they are.

Exactly! I read the headline and then the whole article at the site — all I could think of is once again a copy editor loyal to Obama stuck the headline on the article and it went to the wire. People that add headlines could care less as they didn’t write the story.

seems the white house is afraid of fox telling viewers what is really going on.

I suspect that they have an idea that Fox is working on something and are trying to discredit fox as much as possible before the report comes out.

BE AFRAID WHITE HOUSE BE VERY AFRAID

You may have ALL the other parts of the media but FOX is reporting on facts and not shying away from facts.

I know and the funny part is that the comments of Axelrod seem to be even more of the top and then AP slapped on this headline. I am so happy you posted this and allowed us to rip it apart that they did not vow to play nice with Fox News only they would give them a few guests.

That has been their MO from Day One and they get by with it from the Obama loving media — it is the rest of us that can spot it a mile away! :)

said the same

If FOX is an opponent then doesn’t it make all the others proponents?

So what we have is the white house admitting that they have all the so called media except fox.

Notice they appointed one of their radicals to the FCC, is this the beginning of them not renewing their license?

note how his wife is wearing the curtains again.

Does she ever do any work? I mean she is always on vacation, swanning around on our dime or having bands etc at the white house.

When will someone ask her what her charities are and when will she start doing some work and I mean not just for the black community either

fox is the only one where they have on the left and the right .

The left hate being questioned on their statements. For instance ever noticed how the left always and I mean always try to run down the clock with their answers or never let the other person speak.
