Perfect example of why Obama WH went after Faux last year was just on CNN. Story on NBPP.

CNN has totally bought the Fox crap and mainlined it into the other channels.

Of course, the WHPC and all the villagers (even those on the Left) got up in arms about the WH going after Faux and defended Faux.

Disgusting.

edit to add - if you had only seen that story and didn't know anything else then you would think there is a good chance the Obama Justice Dept is refusing to prosecute African Americans and only going after White people. Way to go, CNN. :eyes:

2. Yep, from last October:

'“We simply decided to stop abiding by the fiction, which is aided and abetted by the mainstream press, that Fox is a traditional news organization,” said Dan Pfeiffer, the deputy White House communications director. Later that week, White House officials said, they noticed a column by Clark Hoyt, the public editor of The Times, in which Jill Abramson, one of the paper’s two managing editors, described her newsroom’s “insufficient tuned-in-ness to the issues that are dominating Fox News and talk radio.” The Washington Post’s executive editor, Marcus Brauchli, had already expressed similar concerns about his newsroom.

White House officials said comments like those had focused them on a need to make their case that Fox had an ideological bent undercutting its legitimacy as a news organization.'
