Is the White House playing favorites again with media outlets?
There has been a back-and-forth between Fox News and the White House ever since President Barack Obama took his oath in 2009. And the latest episode appears to have occurred on Sunday after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates made the rounds on the Sunday morning talk show circuit to discuss Libya, appearing on ABC’s “This Week,” NBC’s “Meet the Press,” and CBS’s “Face the Nation,” but not “Fox News Sunday.”
That drew a response from Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace, following his interview with potential 2012 GOP presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich.
“Of course we wanted to get the White House view on Libya,” Wallace said. “However, they chose to offer Secretary of State Clinton and Defense Secretary Gates to ABC, CBS and NBC, but not to Fox. Despite the fact that we routinely have more viewers than two of those Sunday shows, the Obama team felt no need to explain to the millions of you who watch this program and Fox News why they have sent U.S. servicemen and women into combat. We thought you’d like to know.”
Wild Thing’s comment……..
It is amazing how afraid Obama is of FOX. Hahahahhaha
Too bad people that work in his administration are not allowed to think for themselves.
Thank you Chris Wallace and Fox News for having a spine and the courage to call out the White House.
We are becomming more and more like Russia.
People who watch Fox News, the Conservatives, Republicans, and Independents aren’t Obama’s people. He’s already refereed to us as the “enemy” and said we should be punished when he was speaking to Hispanics. Obama doesn’t believe he’s president of the whole United States, only the portion of the US that believes in him.
Bob, well said, thank you. He does not even try to hide how he feels about this, amazing how he can be that way and not be called on it by even those elected on our side. I guess they just prefer to let it slide. deep sigh
“Let me be perfectly clear” this walking piece of excrement is not my president.
Eddie, mine either, I hate him!!!!!!
Thank you Chrissie.
