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’m missing how several slams and one statement that WH personnel would appear on Fox is blinking? They will send third and fourth level people and claim they ARE, in fact, working with Fox.
First up, Anita Dunn on Glenn Beck. Hahahaha hahaha hahaha :)
I think Beck made them blink, Hannity, too. And Cavuto in his quiet way with his deadly interview techniques. The thing is, they did it by revealing the truth, not through smears as used by Odorman and the Tingler over at msnbc against Bush for eight years.
>> So they stab Fox in the back and offer up a band aid.
They’re stabbing critical opinion through the veil of FOX.
That I'd like to see.
“think Fox should invite these scumbags sparingly. ...And be sure to dictate the time and format, take it or leave it.”
Or,
Fox could play it in reverse. ‘Gee, we’d like to invite the W.H. officials and even the President, but then our ratings would tank and we’d lose money, so, thanks but no thanks.’
lol
Well folks. FOX should tell them to kiss their rectum.
But....I am not bitter.
My casual observation is that Anita Dunn is a Maoist pig.
I don’t trust the admin as far as I could throw it, and neither should anyone, especially Fox.
Fox hasn’t backed down. The WH backed down, looks like to me. Fox seems to just be doing its usual reportage. The only difference between Fox and the all the others is that they don’t selectively report. They report it all. It’s not Fox’s fault that most of what comes out about this administration is bad and often downright frightening. That’s on the administration, not Fox. Sure, most of Fox’s opinion stuff is pro-America, anti-Marxist, so again, any criticism of the administration arising from the administration’s agenda and policies is also on the administration. It’s not the fault of Fox commentators when the administration’s actions, statements and policies diverge from America’s interests, which is pretty much all the time. Besides, Fox commentators always have some lefties on spewing and spinning their absurdities so I hear both sides.
I watch Fox because they don’t squelch stories.
Maher is a pig. I missed that though.
Huh? Fox has already shown them. The video was on Glenn Beck last week.
a GOP mouthpiece whose programming is geared toward making money.
That would be in contrast to the state-run media, which is a DNC mouthpiece whose programming “is geared toward losing money.”
Anything that comes out of Axelrod's mouth has the stench of lies.
This administration is completely out of touch with mainstream America. How about all those pictures of Dunn and Chairman Mao? Did they really think we'd just swallow the line and the sinker?
LOVE IT! Excellent advice...totally agree with you.
Heh, fine wit me, the lil gansta wo-MAN o da house would run like all the other gangsta when their friends abandon them. Then again you have a point, she looks nasty...scare her though the extentions go flying, the white tetff turn to cheap gold Mike Tyson caps, all her tatttoos will be readable again and she probably fires her weapon gangsta style like a punk a##ed mama banger. What DOES scare me is she's played as THEE model of womanhood in America after all the bad things she said during the election...yep, she's running the country, only person that could spank }ahlovRham, Porky Gibbs, Mr Rorschack axelRod and the homosexual SuhartObamaHusseinAbuLimpDinkus with his 100 czars.
