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.
CNN is not based in NYC.
For a while this evening it seemed that every channel except the Weather Channel was carrying Obama's speech. Well, there were some basketball games on, but I'm not a big fan of televised basketball games, and besides I know that the Final Four will be Obama's picks because he is so brilliant.
So far he has the Nobel Peace Prize. Any year now he should get the Nobel Prize for Literature for the book that Bill Ayers ghost-wrote. Then maybe they can give him the Nobel Prize in Mathematics for his NCAA playoff predictions.
Probably!
Wouldn’t he get the Nobel Prize for Imaginary Mathematics, since none of his picks survived the competition.
not even a "reach around".
there, I fixed it. / sarc
Yes, they should use it as a selling point. “We’re Obama-Free!”
The jerk is just afraid that Fox will not keep its word on not asking the “restricted” questions. He has no original thought and the worst president EVAH!
My suggestion is to do a 60 second spot on "all" the screwups of the regime, play it in about a year when the election heats up and use "their screwups" to win an election.
