'We better not see you on again,' the strategist says he was told by a White House official. Obama aides have taken an aggressive stance against the network and may be seeking to isolate it.

Reporting from Washington - At least one Democratic political strategist has gotten a blunt warning from the White House to never appear on Fox News Channel, an outlet that presidential aides have depicted as not so much a news-gathering operation as a political opponent bent on damaging the Obama administration.

Political consultants are a staple of cable television talk shows, analyzing current events based on their own experiences working on campaigns or in government.

One Democratic strategist said that shortly after an appearance on Fox, he got a phone call from a White House official telling him not to be a guest on the show again. The call had an intimidating tone, he said.

The message was, " 'We better not see you on again,' " said the strategist, who spoke on condition of anonymity so as not to run afoul of the White House. An implicit suggestion, he said, was that "clients might stop using you if you continue."

Wolfpack, stop making sense.

In fact I was shocked to learn from listening to the Michael Medved Show that the left-leaning Pew Research Center listed Fox News as the fairest and most balanced of the major networks. I mean, stop and think about that.

A lot of people here, out of habit I suspect, reject Fox News and conservative news outlets like Matt Drudge and Michelle Malkin. It seems they're standing on thinner ground.

I googled it and apparently it's true: The Color of News | Project for Excellence in Journalism (PEJ)
