The Obama Administration was setting up it's White House Press Conference schedule and invited ABC...NBC...CBC...and CNN to cover the events. The Administration when asked, said Fox would not be invited.

ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN , after a joint meeting, told the Obama Administration, "if Fox wasn't allowed to participate, then they would not cover the events either".

The Administration...after further review, and under threat of mutiny...felt it might be better to allow Fox the right to participate.

Can you just imagine the Bush administration telling ABC that they would not be allowed to cover a conference because they were not in lock-step with the administration.

This elitist bunch of socialist are right on the brink of being tarred and feathered...and run out on a rail.

Even our resident Country Tab socialist will agree it's not good to silence the press....it tends grows little Adolph Obamas.

It may be extreme... But Fox is the only one crying about it.

I was wondering when you were going to open the river up.

Kris...how about protection of the 1st and 14th amendment for all citizens. If the government can squash dissent...then we're all screwed.

Who do these elitists think they are ?

I never said I agreed with it...

While I agree that Hannity and Glen Beck are extremists, It would be no different than the Bush administration telling MSNBC that they couldn't cover them because they have Keither Olberman and Rachel Maddow.

I think it was a rather stupid move myself.

Too bad it couldn't have been handled differently to bring awareness to media biases from ALL news channels.

Yes, I can.  He was a f-ing Nazi.

Now Aaron ,Bush didn't...the socialists would have revolted.

Chavez is shutting down newspapers and TV stations. Quesion: Was the book Chavez handed to Obama a blueprint on setting up a dictatorship ?

Why would Obama he want to silence the press ? This is your guy.....you defend his actions, if you can.

I am sure TMZ wasn't invited either, same quality of journalistic integrity. I don't agree with banning the press at all but when it comes to Fox News, I can understand the desire. Whole thing was handled badly.

Since 1997 Fox has been apart of the White House Press Pool...come on Calve, it's a little different than TMZ. For Obama's boys to exclude Fox was a direct slap in the face to America's press.

Obama didn't want Fox News there because He simply cant blow smoke up America's a*s, without fear of being questioned. Hell Chris Mathews still gets a tingling up his leg when Obama speaks. Now that's being a journalist...isn't it.

I think it's great.  FOXNews is worthless, all they do is SPIN everything and try to scare everybody.  It's laughable to consider them real news.

Bush was very controlling of his press conferences as well.  You had to tell him what you were going to ask before hand.  He only wanted the easy questions, nothing too tough because his little head would explode and no teleprompters could save him.

What I'm saying is, Bush controlled the press and you didn't seem to mind.  But then it was OK because you were down for the cause.  Now, that Bushy is out, it's a problem.

Name a time that Bush proposed a lockout of a member of the Press Pool ?

Giving interviews is different...Obama has given Fox less interviews than the Late Night Talk Shows. What were talking about is the general Press Pool.

If CNN.,ABC ,NBC, and CBC all said Obama was wrong...you damn sure know it was wrong.

Here's an array of instances where the Bush administration went after your precious "free press".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4JaxJ0uXME  (MSNBC denied by Bush administration)

In 2001, DeLay reportedly boycotted CNN

In 2002, GOP leadership reportedly threatened or engaged in Crossfire boycott

In 2004, NY Times reporters were excluded from Air Force Two

In 2006, GOP House members sought punishment, possible prosecution of NY Times

In 2008, Bush counselor Gillespie attacked NBC

In 2008, McCain campaign repeatedly attacked press, banned or threatened to ban journalists from campaign plane and bus

In wake of Dunn comments, conservative media attack Dunn, White House

What "controlling the media" really means

Federal Source to ABC News: We Know Who You're Calling

FBI Apologizes to Post

U.S. Bombing Raid Kills Three Journalists in Baghdad

Journalist-detainee at Guantanamo.

Boo Hoo - Obama didn't invite Fox to the game - but tapping journalists phones is all good!

We had an 8 year dictatorship...still, Obama is the bad guy, give it up.

It's amazing that you would try to equate the Fox event with "Times Reporters left off of Air Force One plane".

Aaron, the Democrats can't give you any "proven report" of a wiretap on a reporter during Bush's presidency......that's bullshit.

Bush didn't own the Senate, Congress, and Presidency...so let's not talk dictatorship, unless your referring to our current situation. Just because you and the DNC say he acted like a dictator, doesn't make it so.

By the way...when is Obama gonna take responsibility for his own administration. It's now been 10 months.

If you blame Bush for 9-11...then you can blame Obama for the unemployment of a million of your Michigan residents and the bankruptcy of California...don't you?

What is fair ?...can't use one set of rules for the "Anointed One" and one set of rules for Bush.

Sometimes you just uses crap to support your points.

"FBI Apologizes to Post"
"GOP leadership reportedly threatened or engaged in Crossfire boycott"


Stuff like this has nothing to do with an established "White House Press Pool" .

Trying to legitimize this crap by the Obama White House...By saying the FBI did it to the frickin' Post....Come On !!!

You reply

"Keep your head in the sand"

Prove your statement, and I'll concede on all points, if you can't prove it with facts (not innuendo) , then you concede that all your points above are pure garbage
