Obama Freezes Out FOX News After Madrassah Story (this keeps getting better)

These are chilly days on Capitol Hill ... and on the campaign trail for Fox News journalists -- at least when they're anywhere near Sen. Barack Obama these days.

Sources tell The Sleuth that the Obama camp has "frozen out" Fox News reporters and producers in the wake of the network's major screw-up in running with the erroneous Obama-the-jihadist story reported by Insight magazine.

"I'm still in the freezer," one Fox journalist said, noting that the people at Fox "suffering the most did nothing wrong." (It was "Fox and Friends" host Steve Doocy who aired the Insight magazine piece, which reported that operatives connected to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) found out that Obama, as a child, was educated at a Muslim madrassah in Indonesia.)

Another Fox journalist called the network's airing of the story "unfortunate" for the network's journalists who have to cover Obama and who are being adversely affected despite not being involved in the incident.

Since the madrassah incident, Obama has given interviews to ABC, CNN, CBS and NBC -- pretty much every other network except Fox. Sources close to Obama acknowledged that they're not thrilled to play ball with Fox journalists, but they stopped short of saying they are freezing the network out.

Ingenious, anyone whith FOXnews gear? ---> Take a number...

in some way, since Clark has his foot in the door with those Fox people so much. Together they could make Fox really regret that move, and do a lot for themselves.

Fox "News" isn't news - it's the propaganda wing of the GOP.

"managed."

There really should be consequences, and consequences GALORE, for "reporting" such shlock. Why hasn't this shit gotten anyone sued yet? Why hasn't limbaugh been sued? Why hasn't that-guy-whose-name-rhymes-with-VANITY been sued? Why hasn't ann coulter been sued - MULTIPLE TIMES???

Sitting back and letting these infants vent and act like assholes and repeat (and INVENT!!!) things that hurt and damage people - and not doing anything to check their shitty behavior is simply BAD, NEGLIGENT PARENTING, and it shouldn't continue.

I'm glad Obama is doing this. Or whatever it is that he and his crew choose to call it. I hope other guys on our side do likewise. Freeze 'em out. Show them there are consequences for their bad and evil and misleading "reporting."

then I will feel something good has come out of this. When they start actually reporting the truth and not just republic party talking points then I will believe something good has come out of this. Until then they do not deserve the time of day or any empathy. If the employees there are tired of being dismissed as turd balls, then they should go elsewhere. I am sure they know of FOX and how they work.

syndicates.

TDS actually gets solid information out, unlike Propaganda Iz Us FNC.

I can just hear the taunts from briit Humes,Hannity "Senator Barack Obama has been avoiding FOXnews reporters... what's he hiding? hahahaha......

to Faux News don't want the truth, they want to have their twisted sense of reality reinforced...

Why, why does anyone of any report even entertain the idea that Faux employs even one journalist...

It's like, to put it on a level the typical Faux addict might understand, Sodom and Gomorrah and Abraham making deals with God about finding even one good man in the city... Obama is striking his own deal with God to find even one Journalist at Faux...

I don't know why democrats and other people they regularly lie about and bash even bother to do interviews with them, I certainly wouldn't if I were running for office.

He has no obligation to recognize a faux news organization. Hopefully others in the party follow his lead . . . really, how many times do you have to get burned?
