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.
ROTFLOL!! That would be ‘must see’ TV!!
Hang on ... do they mean the front row itself, everyone shifts a bit and FOX finally gets its due or are they saying that whatever FOX newsie (Garrett right now) will get the front row center spot that Thomas wallowed in simply because she was the oldest hag of the bunch, courtesy?? Seriously?? FOX could be right in the press secretary's mug day in and day out??
Will the FOX reporter get hazardous duty pay for having to sit in the front row and stare up Gibb’s nostrils?
Status, pure and simple. Thomas had that particular seat because she was the longest-serving WH newsie on the premises.
Oh well. I was hoping for at least one briefing where the hag was back in her old seat and everybody around her was squirming to make some distance, like she ripped a nasty one.
Thank you. You gave me one of today’s few chuckles.
I’d demand a new chair... lord knows how many depends Helen may have wet through over the years.
Yep.. MM is pretty hot and smart as hell.

It’ll probably be Obama drooler Shepard (Maybelline) Smith.
I’m torn...I don’t know what should be done first, fumigation or an exorcism.
Mark Steyn for the vacated seat.
The Messiah will not let that happen as it stands now Major is in the second row I think.
