The White House tapping FOX News on the proverbial shoulder and asking them to “step outside” is more about shaming all the other news outlets who from this point forward proceed to regurgitate their horseshit smears as if it were legitimate news. It’s an extremely smart tactic. I can totally imagine, after 6 more months of saying that FOX “isn’t really a news network”, some White House official sarcastically prefacing their answer to someone at CNN with, “Wow, that’s a FOX News question..” Its a great way of marginalizing FOX while rhetorically wrapping legitimate news organizations on the wrists for clumsily reporting smears. This is a brilliant strategy, please keep it up.

The Humanity Critic, Why the White House is Smart to Take on Fox (via soupsoup) (via noahkai) (via ericmortensen) (via tedr) Sawickipedia: It’s an idiotic strategy. Do NBC/MSNBC reporters still get access despite shills like Maddow, Olbermann and Matthews? Of course they do. The British press is way more partisan then Fox and somehow PM’s and the Parliament manage just fine. Grow some skin. Oh and by the way - Fox’s ratings went up as a result of this silly street fight. Rise above, Rise above. |
