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.

It still hasn't stopped the flow of FoxProp. It's just denied them a source.

Life is sweet in the new world!

When has Fox ever been a news channel , I always thought they were an offshoot of the Comedy Channel ?

[SatinPanties]

Are you serious?

The Comedy Channel has integrity!!

Thank you again.

Fox News ran anti-Obama propaganda "documentaries" in a primetime spot (hosted by Sean Hannity). They are not a news station at all. I hope they don't get a single second of access for the entire time Obama's in office.

lol, i think it's funny that obama has given more press conferances since the election than bush has given his entire presidency.

WAY TO GO !!

I was so sickened by the rabid anti Democratic and anti Obama views exhibited by Fox during the campaign, that I actually thought Fox was part of the RNC. It is poetic justice that they should be shut out....temporarily to give them an opportunity to rehab.

[treetracker]

They were...are - who do you think they get their talking points from?

I hope President Obama keeps the shut out going throughout his ENTIRE presidency (both terms!).

[bachmantsk]

WOW! Justice.

GREAT!! Obama didn't shut anything out. FOX IS NOT a news, plain & simple.

If Fox had any journalists on staff, maybe O would let them ask a question.

One could argue that, even though Fox leans a lot to the right, it should be given the same access as any other legitimate news organization. But the point is that they are not a legitimate news organization. And, even though Barack Obama does not seem to be the type of person to hold grudges, or at least not in public, Fix News continued to paint him and his wife as terrorists or terrorist sympathizers throughout the presidential campaign. That behavior deserves no access whatsoever.

that incident in the diner where people were asked who was for obama and everybody raised their hand and when it was asked who is voting for mccain and no one raiesed their hand. brian wilson said the room was split . it was a obvious lie. that should have been on the msm other chat shows and the pundits should have crusified fox over that bald face lie. but no one did. if msnbc had done the same it would have been on fox alllllll day.

Faux News crossed the line from right leaning news agency to reicht wing propaganda machine. A uninitiated viewer would have thought Obama was out to dance on the constitution and burn the American flag listening to those guys. I have NEVER seen a news agency work so hard to get a politician (McCain) into office, no news agency should blatantly attempt to influence elections. MSNBC and CNN were left leaning, but it was moderate and pretty balanced, the same from fox would have been fine but the tards outright demonized the man and went after his wife……. C’mon, “Obama’s baby mamma”, the man is married with two kids and a loving wife.

Outrageous! They sleep with the fishes as far as I’m concerned! Black them out for 2 years before you let them see the light of day…. better yet, compile side by side video of msm vs fox coverage for the last week leading up to the election and let them figure it out!

Obama 5, Fox News 0.

So far, a perfect game. :)
