Unprecedented: White House Tries to Ban Fox from Press Pool

Interestingly, this behavior completely contradicts an opinion rendered Tuesday by White House spokesman Robert Gibbs when questioned by ABC's Jake Tapper

Dan Riehl: "For the first time in my life I'm actually uncomfortable knowing that this guy has control of our military and Federal police forces. If he thinks he can simply shut down a member of the press on a whim, how long before he goes full Chavez?"

To their credit, the other networks objected. They told the White House that if Fox were banned, none of the other networks would participate. The White House relented, but in an apparent act of petulant retaliation, it restricted each network to a two-minute interview instead of the standard five.

You have real problems when you are unwilling to take on the viewpoints of your rivals.

It's unfortunate that they were unsuccessful.

Yes, yes....we know how Democrat's loathe thier dissent.

Why should something that's not news get a seat with other news organizations?

Re: Barry tries to bounce Fox News
 

I don't think they have issues with dissent. They have issues with a political propaganda outfit masquerading as a legitimate news organization.

You guys don't seem to understand that the news outlets that share your viewpoints are viewed in the same light as those form the other side.

It's just that simple. Truth is in the eye of the beholder. Those other news outlets no longer hold any more credibility.

Tip: news outlets shouldn't have viewpoints.

Certainly not.

Really? That's not how I define truth. You can't just make **** up and expect me to believe it.

There are a lot of failings with major media outlets, but to say that the ones that are not Fox News are less credible than Fox News is through the looking glass.

Remember, Fox News went to court in Florida to defend its right to broadcast things that are not factually true. It is not news.

We are past the point of unbiased media in this country. Well past it. Also, back on topic. Why fear differing views? If I believe whole heartedly in what I am doing, I welcome challengers. Welcoming differing opinions could be a powerful tool for this administation, but they stiffen up at the slightest bit of criticism. It's a sign of a lack of confidence.

I'm glad the other news organizations objected and they obviously disagree with your contention here. You can't simply make declarations to suit your bias. It was attempted censorship plain and simple. It’s a little scary to see so much acceptance….no approval of this by the crowd that pretends to own and champion the notion of a free press.
