Anonymous Democratic Strategist Claims White House Discouraged Fox News Appearances

LA Times:

At least one Democratic political strategist has gotten a blunt warning from the White House to never appear on Fox News Channel, an outlet that presidential aides have depicted as not so much a news-gathering operation as a political opponent bent on damaging the Obama administration.

This Fox news dispute has become the Hatfields and McCoys 2000+-

Yeah - I am REALLY going to trust Faux News when they cannot even show someone's face. Total BS...propa­ganda at its finest!

[HHarvey]

But Patrick Caddell, a Fox News contributor and former pollster for President Carter, said he had spoken to Democratic consultants who said they were told by the White House to avoid appearances on Fox. He declined to give their names.

Consider the source for this article. I call BS.

Just more WH thuggery

[kcmookie]

Just more dumb@ss's willing to believe anything put out there by Fox.

[John Russell]

You just described yourself perfectly.

[angelrubes]

This is just ridiculous. Since you believe this, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you. hee, hee

I'd rather cut off my arm than appear on the Fox News Propaganda Channel--Home of Traitors to America. They make only Tokyo Rose proud.

[angelrubes]

You're so right regarding the comparison. The sad thing is that they are against their own government. But I guess it's not "their" government as long as an Af. American is President. Yelch!

GOP Pravda.

Roger Ailes, is the president and founder of Fox News. He was a veteran Republican operative long before he was a news executive, having worked as a media consultant in the presidential campaigns of Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and the first President Bush.

Fox lies. They even defended their right to lie in court.

[wyldthings]

I saw O'Reily tonight with Goldberg and they both said the story was B.S so it's not fox spreading this!

[ReMarker]

Anonymous? Right. Probably just a neo-Foxi plant.

[Kevin Ehsani]

i think its just a plant by fox news to try and scare people into thinking that the white house is actually threatening people not to go on the network. as if the white house is controlling the media and telling people what to do... its such BS. knowing fox news, they will try and everything to scare people and turn them against the white house for daring to call out the network.

[groucho]

Anyone can see the outline of the guy, it's Steven Colbert.

[liberalOrgonian]

Probably it was a Fox employee.
Don't believe anything Fox says.
They are deplorable.

[miriamfl]

Exactly, they are experts at lies and deceits, they are not a news channel they are 24 hour propoganda channel.

[gas123]

sounds like MSNBC as well

[menmykoko]

Crappy gossip from a crappy journalist from a crappy paper.

[HHarvey]

You said that right!

[Sing Out and Slap Iron]

Oh Boy, anonymous comments on Fox? I can taste the truthiness all the way down here in Miami.
