Barack Obama has apparently set a new administration boycott of Fox News with this week's twice snubs of the news network.
On Sunday, the administration sent the duo of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates to the Sunday morning talk shows of ABC, CBS and NBC. Fox was excluded even though, as anchor Chris Wallace noted, the Fox show has more viewers than two of its three rivals.
Monday evening, CBS News White House reporter Mark Knoller posted on Twitter that Obama will be in New York City tomorrow for two Democrat fundraisers, the dedication of the U.S. Mission to the U.N. in the name of the late Clinton administration Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown and a round of network TV interviews.
Knoller reports that Obama will "(sit) for interviews with ABC, CBS & NBC." Unmentioned by Knoller but notably missing is Fox News.
GOOD. I can watch Spongebob Squarepants instead. He makes more sense than Obama and Biden combined.
That’s because his boss, GS has initiated a war against FOX thru media matters!
I’d like to see the viewership ratings on Drudge.
IMO, this WH boycott of Fox is because Hannity has been turned loose on the missing BC!
Our next president, a Republican, should return the favor, and ignore the liberal media. It’s a good way to get viewers who can think.
I see George Soros Media Matters does control Obama...
That’s OK, I don’t watch him anyway.
FOX could run Aflack Duck interviews and get a bigger audience
In fact, they should
For those cruising the networks It will be nice to have one “no lie” zone sans the fresh prince of DC
What a baby! He needs to man-up!
I GUARANTEE the White House is coordinating with Media Matters and its attack on Fox News.
NO LFBC NO JUSTICE!
Don’t the sycophants at ABCNBCCBS realize what this says about them?
At last a channel without obama spouting off!
When he comes on the TV I either change channels or turn it off!
That’s good, because if obama was on FOX all the time like he is on the alphabet networks, I wouldn’t watch. I can’t stomach listening to him for any long than it takes to dig the remote out from between the sofa cushions and change the channel.
Obama’s going to be on TV tomorrow? Really? Gee, I never would have thought . . .
Now, wait just a minute. Sure, you can call him “petty” if you want, and even call him “little”, but... uhhh... what was that third thing you called him?
He is a child in a woman's body.
If he’s only going on the 3 broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) and not the 24 hour cable news nets like CNN, MSNBC... I don’t see how it’s a specific snub of Fox. If he were also going on CNN, MSNBC but not Fox then, yes, that would seem like a deliberate snub. Does anyone know if he’s going on any of the cable nets?
Yes. That their FCC licenses are secure.
