It has been a long time since I had reason to send Kudos out directly to the US news agencies....

But this definitely deserves it.

The Obama administration on Thursday failed in its attempt to manipulate other news networks into isolating and excluding Fox News, as Republicans on Capitol Hill stepped up their criticism of the hardball tactics employed by the White House.

The Obama administration on Thursday tried to make "pay czar" Kenneth Feinberg available for interviews to every member of the White House pool except Fox News. The pool is the five-network rotation that for decades has shared the costs and duties of daily coverage of the presidency.

But the Washington bureau chiefs of the five TV networks consulted and decided that none of their reporters would interview Feinberg unless Fox News was included.

The administration relented, making Feinberg available for all five pool members and Bloomberg TV.

The pushback came after White House senior adviser David Axelrod told ABC News' "This Week" on Sunday that Fox News is not a real news organization and other news networks "ought not to treat them that way."

Media analysts cheered the decision to boycott the Feinberg interview unless Fox News was included, saying the administration's gambit was taking its feud with Fox News too far. President Obama has already declined to go on "Fox News Sunday," even while appearing on the other Sunday shows.

Goebbels? Seriously? I mean, I cam see why Republican types would get upset about their network being called out, but defining down the absolutely horrific shit that Goebbels is responsible for to excluding a FOXNews reporter from an interview is disgraceful. Get a grip.

only an obama lemming would consider fox not news, but the other lefty news sites news....that is simply pure hackery, not based in reality, truth or logic....

i guess cnn and the other news agencies that said they would all boycott unless fox NEWS was included are only fucking partisan hacks unable to think for themselves....:rolleyes:

Wrong.

Goebbels would have DESPISED Obama simply simply based on his skin color.

Goebbels being a NAZI who believed in a "pure" race.

But to admit that would expose the stupidity of your comparison.

"I'm really cheered by the other members saying "No, if Fox can't be part of it, we won't be part of it,'" said Baltimore Sun TV critic David Zurawik, calling the move to limit Feinberg's availability "outrageous."

"What it's really about to me is the Executive Branch of the government trying to tell the press how it should behave. I mean, this democracy -- we know this -- only works with a free and unfettered press to provide information," he said.

W.H. attacks worry moderate Dems

Jonathan Allen Jonathan Allen – Fri Oct 23, 5:47 am ET
A White House effort to undermine conservative critics is generating a backlash on Capitol Hill — and not just from Republicans.

“It’s a mistake,” said Rep. Jason Altmire, a moderate Democrat from western Pennsylvania. “I think it’s beneath the White House to get into a tit for tat with news organizations.”
