Mod note: The headline originally read: Fox News to move to Thomas' front-row briefing room seat
The White House Correspondents Association voted unanimously Sunday afternoon to move Fox News to the front row of the White House briefing room.
The seating change was prompted by the resignation of veteran UPI reporter Helen Thomas.
According to Ed Henry, the senior White House correspondent for CNN and member of the WHCA board, the Associated Press will move to the front-row middle seat formerly occupied by Thomas.
Fox News will replace the AP in its former seat, also in the front row, and NPR, which lobbied for Thomas' seat along with Fox and Bloomberg News, will take Fox's former seat in the second row.
The 2010-2011 WHCA board includes representatives from USA Today, Reuters, C-SPAN, the New York Times, Politico, Time Magazine, NPR and the DC Examiner.
Thomas, a longtime critic of Israeli foreign policy, had resigned in late May after a video clip in which she said that Israelis should "get the hell out of Palestine" and "go home" -- to Europe, the United States and other places -- surfaced on the internet.
Liberal groups had lobbied for NPR's placement in the front row over Fox, which one petition called a "right-wing propaganda outlet."

The actual title of the article is "Fox News to move to front-row White House briefing room seat".
Why was the wrong title used here?

It is their rightful place they were next in line as the TOP RATED network. Absolutely.

"...the Associated Press will move to the front-row middle seat formerly occupied by Thomas." The preeminent propaganda outlet worldwide front and center.

Fox News will replace the AP in its former seat, also in the front row...
Headline is misleading if story is true...

Good! It’s about time they got their rightful place in the front row.

I guess this blunts the criticism that FNC is not a “legitimate” news channel.
That is, if ANY of them are legitimate anymore.

Headline does not agree with the body of the article. Headline is wrong, it seems, but let them all have their glee while it lasts.

>sigh<
Maybe that will do it.
