It is an odd, and we'd say regrettable, pattern of this White House that it lets itself get dragged down into fights with specific media outlets.
George W. Bush experienced acrimony with the New York Times, but for the most part, other than general frustrations of a conservative administration, complaining about a liberal media, it was no big deal.
But in addition to Fox News, now The White House is going after highly-respected and influential car site Edmunds.com.
They're actually using The White House blog to dispute the site's analysis of Cash-For-Clunkers (via Detroit News).
The post is snarkily titled: "Busy Covering Car Sales on Mars, Edmunds.com Gets It Wrong (Again) on Cash for Clunkers"
Harsh!

Rule One: When you enemy is jumping up and down on a land mine, don’t tell him...
They are letting us ALL know who is in charge.
Don't argue, just accept it and prosper.
Come on, admit it... you wrote this article.
Edmunds is an incredible site. I’ve used them for everyone of my car purchases. They have great info, explained well. And a sense of humor to boot. This is getting fun now.
You’ve definitely got a point there. As bizarrely as this regime continues to behave, the lines between extreme radical and just plain crazy continue to blur...
All the ammo given the RNC and all they do is sit with their thumb up their arse.
Ping.
Oh. Yeah. I forgot about them.
obama and his commies are thin-skinned whiners. Just keep hitting him with stuff and they'll be so busy refuting it, they won't be able to get anything done.
When Obama says "jump", they're surprised we don't ask "how high" or at least salute with a hearty "Heil Obama".
The list, ping
Yeah - citizens’ gridlock! I like it.
I’m of the opinion that the RNC agrees with Obama and would rather lose than win with a conservative platform.
They REALLY think they can own everybody and silence naysayers don’t they?
RNC and DNC: Two sides of the same coin.
These media wars have all the earmarks of Rahm but Obama doesn’t have the sense to reign him in.
For a long time, I've thought that the purpose of the Republican Party was to maintain the pretense that there was opposition to socialism, while never really trying to be effective.
You go, Mr. President! Whack their pee-pees!
ROFLMFWAO

Next thing you know!... The Obama White House will be criticizing Church Bulletins.
According to Alexa, Edmunds has a hire stars rating, and more traffic than the whitehouse. Edmunds is number 397 in the US, while the whitehouse site is rated at 1,226 in the US.
