http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/23/white-houses-fox-news-boy_n_331437.html UPDATE: Politico reported this afternoon that it was primarily the Treasury Department that was in charge of arranging whether or not Fox News would attend the round of interviews with "pay czar" Kenneth Feinberg, as opposed to the White House. And according to Mediaite, the Treasury Department has denied any attempt to exclude Fox News, saying:
There was no plot to exclude Fox News, and they had the same interview that their competitors did. Much ado about absolutely nothing.
As for Fox's claim that other Washington bureau chiefs came to the network's rescue over the alleged snub, TPMDC reports that it spoke with one of the other network bureau chiefs, who apparently was surprised to learn that Fox was describing the situation that way.

So with that said, is there any surprised that Murdoch came out and agreed with Glen Beck that the president made racist comments?

Bad blood? No, that is what you have between equals.
The crass partisanship exibited by the fiction writers at FAUXNEWS at the direction of the Austrialian fascist at the top and his minions proves that network is not a legitimate news outlet but a propaganda manure spreader.

In a parting shot at Fox News, White House Communications Director Anita Dunn mocked the conservative-leaning network on Friday and laughed off its controversial host Glenn Beck for calling her a Mao enthusiast.
The outgoing administration spokeswoman took a clear and enjoyable dig, first at Sean Hannity for recently airing spliced footage designed to make a crowd of anti-health care protesters seem bigger than reality.
"A fun fact from this week is that an opinion show on a certain news network was using edited footage to make it appear that a rally last week, and political opposition to the president, was much larger than it appeared," said Dunn, during her appearance at the Bloomberg News Washington Summit. "Some of you may have heard about it. The people who went in and did fact checking on that, and actually exposed the spliced edited was... Jon Stewart of the 'Daily Show' on Comedy Central. Well that is where you are getting fact-checking and investigative journalism these days folks. It is a different media environment."

Do her comments confirm that bad blood between the White House and the news outlet?
Will it continue with her replacement?

Kinda like back when Bush was in office and Hillary screeched "I believe it's our patriotic duty to question this administration." Oh wait, that was an anti-Republican tantrum so it's OK.

I'm cool with Obama's re-attack on the Rebublican bluster machine, which as "sentient beings" (at least) know includes FUX News, among many other pseudo-democratic fascist outlets too numerous to list.
I'm actually kind of proud of the shavetails for at least seeming to grow a pair (we'll see how that "develops" over the next few weeks/months), even as I remain unimpressed at the "NewNazi" party's feeble attempts to rebuff their attacks.
Ah well! American politics. IT'S ALL THEATRE!

Host Jim - Thinly veiled?? I think not.
While I agree with the WH calling out the lies and misinformation that is regularly provided on Faux Noise, I think this battle is neither worth their time nor winnable. The result of anybody calling out Faux Noise is that the network smiles all the way to the bank. They dig their heels in and become even more vitriolic and their viewers wouldn't listen to a disenting view anyway. But as far as doing anything in a nuanced manner, that's not their style nor their strong point.

Subtlity is not a noted feature of FUXNEWS' broadcast.
They are biased, but unconvincingly claim to be "fair and balanced," when they are really "foul and batty."

The Obama White House has, for the past few weeks, waged an informal war on Fox News, lashing out against the network for its conservative bias and blacklisting it from interviews with high-ranking administration officials.
So what type of counter-punch did Fox have to offer?
On Sunday they handed over the first half of their hour-long Sunday show to an interview with bombastic radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh
A hard-hitting interview it surely wasn't.

Is this a thinly veiled response to the White House?

You didn't read it, did you?
It says absolutely no such thing...doesn't even insinuate it.
