White House Surrenders To Fox News

[red states rule]

What kind of deal was made?

Is Fox News going to become more like MSNBC and NOT report the truth? Or is the White House fed up Fox News ratings are up by 10% since Obama declared war on Fox?

Obama surrenders in war on FOX

The White House is tapping out in its war with Fox News Channel. Obama's press secretary Robert Gibbs met with FNC senior vice-president Michael Clemente today, and agreed to call a truce. The White House will no longer criticize cable's top-ranked news channel.

President Obama, chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, senior advisor David Axelrod and communications director Anita Dunn all publicly criticized Fox within the past three weeks. The attacks backfired. Fox's ratings grew by 10 percent since Dunn fired the first shot, four other networks pushed back against Obama's bullying, and CBS exposed the White House for lying about excluding Fox from a network pool interview.

The winner of the war, by far, is the Fox News Channel. If this were a UFC fight, Fox is Brock Lesnar, the undisputed champion that gets better with each fight. The Obama administration comes off as Kimbo Slice, a hyped-up bully who is beaten down and revealed to be a rank amateur.

The real losers are the American people, who expect results from their taxpayer dollars. The White House wasted countless time and effort preparing a strategy against Fox, instead of preparing a strategy in Afghanistan, where our troops are in harm's way. However, do not expect the truce to last long. Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity have plenty of ammunition left to fire at the most liberal President in U.S. history.

Score one for the little guy - the American people who want a venue for getting the unvarnished truth.

The Whiye House was humilated when they said Fox News was not a news organizatiopn, and the peple turned around and got their news from Fox in even greater numbers

They just don't get it. Criticize Fox all you want. Just understand what actual free speech means. You can make any assinine statement you want in this country but they all come with consequences. In this case, the administration looks like fools for trying to attack a legitimate news organization.

Liberals never really understood what Free Speech is. They just think you can say what you want as long as it agrees with what they are thinking.

This surrender may be a preview of what Obama will do in Afghanistan. While Fox News will not change, Obama will simply stop whining about Fox News

But the Moveon.org and Media Matters crowd will continue
