Obama Fox News Shut Out Continues

Patrick Gavin at FishbowlDC has been documenting who Barack Obama has called on for questions at his transition press conferences, and notes that the President-elect continues to sideline reporters from Fox News. Fox has gone 0 for 5 "since the election." Of course, news of who got the privilege of asking a question today sort of puts this in hilarious perspective:

UPDATE: Questions went to Liz Sidoti (AP), Caren Bohan (Reuters), Jake Tapper (ABC), Peter Baker (NYT), John McCormick (Tribune), Tribune, Dean Reynolds (CBS).

Wow. So Dean Reynolds, the "whiny-whinerpuss" diva who famously complained about how bad the Obama plane smelled and how rotten he was getting treated on the trail by the Obama campaign, gets to ask a question and Fox doesn't? HA HA BURN.

Fox is NOT NEWS - it is right wing infotainment. Period. He is not required to answer their questions.

When they aired fake documentaries claiming he was a terrorist - they crossed a line. It should be a complete shut out for the next 4 years.

8 years.

TOO FUNNY...I HOPE JOHN STEWART GETS A QUESTION BEFORE FAUX NEWS....

[njborne]

Remember, Obama granted several interviews to the Daily Show. I believe he gave one interview to Fox (???) and they hosed that one.

Fox News? Reporters??
Sounds like an oxymoron to me.

If we take the bold step of lifting up the media it will return the favor.

This is SWEEEEEET!!!!!

Rupert and the gang will do their "Aesop's Fables" sour grapes thing which will include the wailing and gnashing of teeth for 6 -8 weeks until they realize that they have NO voice when commenting on the new direction the country will be heading.

They will be forced into either covering "human interest" stories or substantially curtailing the vitriol coming from the empty (albeit, attractive) talking heads at Faux...

I just may watch in a couple of months to witness the humble pie eating contest...­...HA!!!!

If they did get to ask a question it would go like this;

Faux Noise: "...Presid­ent elect Obama; is it true you are not really an American citizen as proven by what that guy wrote in that book...and that you are a closet Muslim extremist who will excercise the power of the office of the President of the United States suddenly in an act of terrorism so ghastly that it would put the evils of the Nazis to shame...if we only knew what they were for sure...and is it also true that you will take my 401K and give it to crack whores?"

Obama: " next question..­.you from the boyscout troop 1022"

[GoogleMaster]

or

FAUX NOISE: President elect Obama I was wondering if ..

OBAMA: Yes. Next question? Andrea?


FAUX .. they distort the news so YOU don't have to !

Why give Fox a question? No serious person who wants serious unbias reporting watches that show anyway. Obama would be wasting his time and our time by letting them ask a question.

[SENATORCALLENBOWE]

SO MAKE UP YOUR OWN NEWS, YOUR USE 2 IT, RIGHT?

Thanks Obama, Screw Fox Noise!
