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.

Fox is geared toward making money? Unlike the other networks, who need a bailout from Obama.

I dont know if anyone noticed, but Axelrod and Emmanuel made almost identical statements at two separate places.
Isnt it nice having an administration that thinks for itself? (Sarcasm)

LMAO, and the other networks are geared towards losing money for their parent companies?? Yeah, that's what they're in business for--to not make money. I guess CNN, MessNBC, etc. are going to cancel their advertising so they lose money.

Anita is probably afraid of the videos of her praising Mao appearing on Fox ... she’s not done.

Are they saying Axelrod and Emmanual’s attacks on Fox News this morning on ABC and CNN backfired with this now coming out?
