Fox help needed...

[tyne]

Anybody know a good way to get clarification from CNN regarding a Fox charge?

I'm talking about the assertion made by Fox that they were excluded from a WH briefing and the other cable networks came to their rescue. As far as I can tell, there has been no confirmation of this...besides Fox. All the blogs (including the NYTimes) are running with it...again, based on Fox's "good" word.

Is it true? Could be.

But, what if it's just another made-up story from Fox? And what would that mean? That would drive home one of the WH's main complaints...that the friggin media follows Fox around and prints their stories without any fact-checking whatsoever.

So, how can we get clarification from, at least, one member of the media who supposedly came to their rescue?

Thanks.

1. they weren't excluded from a briefing, it was a sit down 'pool' interview

just like fox doesnt interview the president when someone else does, they weren't allowed access to someone that was doing sitdowns with a number of organizations...

2. And is there

any proof of this besides Fox?

3. Nobody from Faux REQUESTED to be there. They weren't denied.

Savannah Guthrie reported that this morning from a message she got on her Blackberry from the admin. on the air while Joe Scarborough was saying Faux was excluded.
