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.

This is but a distraction for Fox News. Just like the NFL thing was intended to distract Rush. The NEWS is the health care legislation that the White House is trying to force on the USA. It doesn’t matter if administration officials come on FOX News or not. What matters is that FOX News reports on what is in the legislation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And a steady drumbeat needs to continue as the communists in the White House are exposed.

In order for Ubama and the rest of the sick scumbags in this White House to be able to exert “pressure” in the first place, they need leverage. Are people actually clamoring to see these freaks and communists on their TV sets? I mean, if Fox’s audience changed the channel when Mark Lamont Hill came on (as many claimed they did), then imagine how quickly they change the channel when a sleaze bucket like Emanuel or Axelrod comes on.

I think Fox should invite these scumbags sparingly. ...And be sure to dictate the time and format, take it or leave it.

As opposed to MSNBC and CNN whose goal apparently is NOT to make money...

And this (profit) is where the employees paychecks comes from, and this is where the government gets it's revenue from....
