CNN's Ed Henry to Vote for Fox News to get Front Row Briefing Room Seat

TVNewser has learned CNN White House correspondent and White House Correspondents Association officer Ed Henry will vote for Fox News to take over the front row White House briefing room seat vacated earlier this week with the abrupt resignation of Helen Thomas.

Henry is one of three officers on the WHCA, the others being Ed Chen of Bloomberg and David Jackson of USA Today. Other board members include Doug Mills of The New York Times, Steve Scully of C-SPAN, Don Gonyea of NPR, Julie Mason of the DC Examiner and Caren Bohan of Reuters.

CNN only got a front row seat after the renovations of the James S. Brady briefing room in 2007. CNN was awarded the seat due to seniority -- 27 years on the air at the time. We're told Fox News supported the move then. And now, as the #1 cable news network and almost 14 years on the air, this may be FNC's time.

It would be a great coup if this could happen, especially with the mid-terms and the 2012 elections coming up.

Who is the ONLY one who doesn’t have a front row seat?

FOX.

Barry: I just hate when that happens

[Mr. K]

If THE MOST POWERFUL NEWS ORGANIZATION (Fox) does not have a front row seat, then who does?

[Dallas59]

The front will never be called on now.

[Mr. K]

Would that be Major Garret?

This should send the hate-filled liberals in to orbit...

When pigs fly.

Why is it such a big deal to be in the front row?

Do front row reporters get their questions answered first or something?

Wow! what an upgrade! from

It would, in fact, be Major Garrett who currently resides in the second row.

[Berlin_Freeper]

That seat is going to be haunted.

[GonzoGOP]

Hey isn’t there a former governor of Alaska that works for Fox these days. Perhaps they could put her in the front row to ask a few questions.

[Deb]

The White House correspondents for the major TV networks, AP and UPI.

Well, that is pretty cool of him. Fox certainly deserves some props. They TRULY ARE the only "mainstream" cable/broadcast network to challenge Hussein's regime.

NOT ALL FOX AFFILIATES CHALLENGE HUSSEIN. In fact, I've seen some Fox affiliates who bow to Hussein. But the network FOX NEWS does a good job.

Oh the ironry;)

Major Garrett does have a wry sense of humor - perhaps he could wear a Helen T. mask on his first day.
