Quote:
"What I think is fair to say about Fox -- and certainly it's the way we view it -- is that it really is more a wing of the Republican Party," [White House Communications Director Anita Dunn] said on CNN. "They take their talking points, put them on the air; take their opposition research, put them on the air. And that's fine. But let's not pretend they're a news network."
To protest their biased coverage, Obama will not appear on FOX news for the rest of this year.
I'm sure some of you will say "wow this is dumb, the president has more important things to do."
Maybe so, but frankly I hate FOX News with a passion, and I'm glad to see the White House backing me up on this. Also: it's not like the president only gets to do one thing per month. Yes, he's spending some time protesting a media outlet, but this is definitely not consuming a majority of his attention.

Obama just started boycotting Fox?
Wow. Took him long enough. I've been doing that for years.

Fox news is definitely crap, but I don't think the Pres should be able to choose which news channels he appears on.
Whats he going to do, not invite Fox to all the press conferences he's going to be in?
From now on, is he just going to invite news agencies that portray him in a good light? Doesn't that... bother anyone?
Woot, government controlling the media, one step closer to making it official.

You know, I actually hadn't thought about it in that light.
As an isolated event, I support this boycott ... but as a precedent ... it's kind of bad news.
Thanks for raising that point ... now I'm not really sure how I feel about this.
