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.

I fought Fox News and Fox News won,
I fought Fox News and Fox News won.
I don’t believe it.
G-d forbid that they should be doing something smart.
Now is the time Fox needs to watch their back.
More free publicity for Fox
Keep it up Obama
The other stations are into spreading the Democrat propaganda and advancing it’s agenda whether they make a profit or not.
IMO they were just playing to their lib base. Now that Bush is no longer in office, the favorite libtard boogieman is Fox News - and the lib hatred of Fox is palpable. Since the base largely isn't getting their way on health care and global warming so far, the Obama Admin just got 'em stirred up a bit by a halfhearted bash of Fox. I don't think it's much more complicated than that.
Nope, will be a winner for Obammy in the end.
"Its Foxes job to hold them to the truth and nothing but the truth. We will see how Fox handles this one."
Expect betrayal...
Did hell freeze over???????? LOL!
I'm sure you'll see your work around a lot.
Blown up, I see Barack is actually hiding behind Michelle.
Michelle has this "Man-up Barack!" look on her face.
When all is said and done any RESPONSIBLE news company wouldn’t even care whether or not the WH plays nice. There are always sources and commies are among the most corrupt of the corrupt—intellectually and moneywise.
The real story line, I hope, is the the WH is throwing Fox some crumbs to get it to stop asking inconvenient questions.
Why should Fox care what Onada and his band of angry thinks when it is killing all the other network and cable faux news programs?
Shows the commies’ bias toward earning money—at least more than they deem appropriate for the proletariat.
[[almost as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party.]]
as opposed to the main stream media beign the left arm of Soros? Golly- I wonder which news outlets are more intellectually honest?
That was said by Chris Matthews, though he said "my job", not "our job".
SO GLAD HILL IS GONE!!!!! O’REILLY ought to be canned for for so Long and probably enabling the Fraud to move on to Columbia University!!! Thats GOOD because now he isn’t A CURSE AND BLIGHT on TEMPLE UNIVERSITY’S GREAT NAME AND REPUTATION!!
Its unimaginable that We have alleged Doctorates thrown out willy nilly to people alleging to be Experts in “HIP HOP!!!”
No ..I understood exactly what you were saying. But you did sound reeeeeaaalllly PO’d. LOL
Did everyone hear John Stossel on Fox this AM. He has joined FOX and everyone made a point of saying FOX was about NEWS.
Anyway...Stossel said that he had several news packages about HCR that ABC REFUSED to air.
Well he made it official. ABC is filtering the news to ONLY air PRO DUM Stories.
I fear we have lost, as a nation, a love of freedom and exchanged it for a desire of creature comforts.....glad to exchange that precious gift of freedom bought by the blood of patriots for a government provided security, as long as we behave as they require. That is not the basis of this constitutional republic. I think most freepers get it. I think most Americans do not get it.
