Reporting from Washington - At least one Democratic political strategist has gotten a blunt warning from the White House to never appear on Fox News Channel, an outlet that presidential aides have depicted as not so much a news-gathering operation as a political opponent bent on damaging the Obama administration.
Political consultants are a staple of cable television talk shows, analyzing current events based on their own experiences working on campaigns or in government.
One Democratic strategist said that shortly after an appearance on Fox, he got a phone call from a White House official telling him not to be a guest on the show again. The call had an intimidating tone, he said.

Of course this will flatly be denied by administration officials, but it seems to fit their MO so far.

I’d like to know which dim consultant it was.

Maybe fox should have it on behind a translucent screen with a voice scrambler. Beck would like that.

This is the second time this article has been posted.
Notice they do not give the name.
That is because it is a ruse.
One designed to get ‘right wing’ nutjobs to spew on about something that turns out to be a lie.
Then it is used later, to prove that censoring of the right wing websites need to be a federal law.

I can only think of Beckel at this moment. I know there are more, but no TV has put a crimp in my memory.
Surely to God this would be a ‘wake-up’ call for them. Can’t they see where these radical fascists are trying to drive the Nation?

This administration is going down the tubes and they know it.
Real unemployment is up around 17-18 percent. Their Islamo-Marxist Kenyan policies are crushing the American dream.

Hey, it’s just the Chicago Way.
The Democrats are the new Communists.
Remember that, and it all makes sense.

Obama and minions are doing a fine job of ruining the office and disgracing this country on their own.
Totally disgusted with his ignoring the horror that took lives in Texas for no good reason.

The question that no one seems comfortable to ask the White House is this.
President Obama is your administration trying to set a tone that All news Organizations other then Fox are actively campaigning for the Liberal Democrats?
