It’s a short trip from the current level of criticism to the revocation of White House press credentials. The Fox war is about government control of the press.

Exactly. Thank god someone else gets that this is not just a snarky skirmish. The Obama regime is setting the table for followup action, based on planting the meme that Fox isn't news media. And if they are not news media, then they are not eligible for certain priviliges, and they are not protected by certain rights.

These rat-bastards are not just playing footsie. They want Fox off the air.

Correct. If there are bailouts for journalism Fox won't get them. Nor any Fox News radio station or other kind of affiliate.

There will be other losses, too, that we don't even know about but that the FCC will dream up out of whole cloth.

I agree with you that this is not just an arbitrary hissy fit.

They have plans. They always have plans (except for Afghanistan and other proper work the POTUS is supposed to do.)
