Faux News treated like the crazy uncle at a family reunion during Obama news conferences
:nopity:


from ThinkProgress:



Fox News shut out at Obama press conferences.»

Fishbowl DC notes that Fox News has not been allowed to ask a question at any of the four press conferences that Barack Obama has held since winning the election.

.....................................................................................................

Update Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs insists that there's "nothing nefarious" going on. "I would tell them, get a good question and stay tuned," Gibbs said of Fox News.

.....................................................................................................

Update The Washington Times reports that Obama has granted "an unprecedented bit of access for reporters who have grown accustomed to President Bush's infrequent moments taking questions and already surpassing the last four presidents-in-waiting."

1. If Faux was a legitimate news outlet it might be different.



But seeing as how they are merely the propaganda arm of the RNC ...

10. Faux is entertainment, not news.
They're lucky they're allowed on the premises.

12. "I would tell them, get a good question and stay tuned," Gibbs said of Fox News.
TRANSLATION:
Form a coherent non partisan question, and get back to me.

Of course Fox has never heard of such a thing, they have a team combing the the internets trying to find out if such a thing exists.

14. Fox doesn't know what a "question" is
They confuse it with angry ranting monologues

17. Obama should make faux sit behind Helen Thomas, and make
them watch while he answers a dozen questions for her in a row. Then he should turn and wave goodby.

21. All I can say to FAUX Noise is
something Grandma used to say, you made your bed now go lay in it. They spent the whole time the campaign was on shilling for McSame/Palin, so go talk to them the ones they spent so much time favoring.
