After years of putting up with their attacks,
President Obama is getting his revenge on Fox News by freezing them out
of access and denying them exclusive interviews.
Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace went into full
whine mode because the Obama White House refuses to send guests on to
his show, “We wanted to ask Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson
about the terror threat while the White House put him on another Sunday
show. They declined to make him available to Fox viewers. The White
House has made a number of guests available to other networks this year
while excluding us and you. We did get to interview Chief of Staff Denis
McDonough and DHS Secretary Johnson once this year, but only when they
appeared on all five networks.”
Fox News nuked their bridges with the Obama
administration a long time ago. Before the President first took office,
Fox News was pushing racism and birtherism. Fox’s behavior has only
gotten worse over the years. Fox News has openly tried to get this
removed from office with their constant conspiracy theories and
propagandizing.
President Obama’s White House would be rewarding bad
behavior and inaccurate reporting if they allowed administration
officials to appear exclusively on Fox News. The Obama administration is
paying back Fox News for their years of biased and inaccurate
reporting.
Fox doesn’t get to have it both ways. They can’t be
baselessly accusing the President of illegal behavior on a regular basis
and expect to be rewarded with exclusive interviews.
The problem with Fox News isn’t that they are
critical of President Obama. The problem with Fox News is that they are
deeply partisan, and ignore facts and reality. Fox News doesn’t practice
journalism. They practice partisan warfare disguised as journalism. For
this reason, they should not be surprised that the White House has no
interest in sending officials to appear on their network.
Fox News needs access to White House officials. The White House does not need Fox News for anything.
President Obama is getting his revenge by freezing out Fox News.
