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 !
We’re better off without him-—he never says what he means anyway.
I can’t recall the last time I bothered watching a presser with the Dear Leader. If its not found here on FR I really don’t need it!
THE COMMIE MUSLIM BASTARD DOESN’T WANT TO ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT WILL EXPOSE HIM FOR WHAT HE IS!!!
Looks like Soros and his armies of mediapuppits are gathering to storm Fox today and the world tomorrow.
This is probably a good thing for FOX. If they start pandering to Obomba every time he opens his mouth, I’ll stop watching them as much as I do. I’m sure I’m not alone. The past year has made FOX look too much like The Won’s cheerleaders anyway. I watch “Our Fearless Leader” when he is giving a “major” speech, but that’s about all I can handle.
I think FNC should wear this slight by ozero as a badge of honor!
George Soros has given his marching orders to Media Matters and “The Won”. They will both carry out their orders.
I wonder how many millions of people watch Fox because of this WH boycott? I’ll bet it’s a lot. Best thing he could do for us.
Even after O’Reilly has bent over backwards to suck up to Teh One? What an ingrate!

Fox should ban him.
Okey Dokey!! Just get Trump to fill the slot and announce the heck out of it. I'm sure Donald would "Love to!!"
They should make a big deal out of this. Seriously. I’m thinking a large segment of the show dedicated to why the administration won’t talk to Fox News.
Our nation is being led by women and weak-kneed sissies!
I guess you aren't familiar with Bill O'Reilly, or Shepard Smith.
If Fox banned Obama, their ratings would shoot through the roof.
“Fox should ban him”.
Excellent idea!
No more boring news conferences, pressers and BS.
