Perino: It’s ‘Awkward’ Having ‘Other Channels’ Besides Fox News At White House Parties
Perino: It’s ‘Awkward’ Having ‘Other Channels’ Besides Fox News At White House Parties
Last night, the White House “threw back-to-back holiday receptions for the news media” with over 500 guests attending. At the “early one” for print and radio journalists, conservative talk radio hosts like Neal Boortz and Hugh Hewitt “dominated the place.”
On Fox and Friends this morning, White House Press Secretary Dana Perino said it “was a great party” and that she loves “having everybody there.”
Host Steve Doocy asked if it was “weird” to have “people who appear on other channels, who bash the president all the time” at the party. Perino responded by criticizing the non-Fox News members of the press, saying “it’s a little awkward” and “audacious” for some of them to “ask to be invited”:
DOOCY: [H]ow weird is it to have, Dana, people who appear on other channels, who bash the president all the time, and then, one night a year, they come into the White House, they bring their kids, and they say, Hi, how are you, as if they haven’t been bashing the president all year long?
PERINO: It’s a little awkward. And it was amazing to me, being in charge of taking the requests for invitations this year, how audacious some people are to call and ask to be invited to the president’s Christmas party.
Watch it:
With President Bush’s approval rating at 28 percent, the White House is turning to friendly outlets. Last month, Bush recorded back-to-back interviews for Fox News and the Fox Business Channel, one of which was for “a documentary” that Fox’s Bret Baier is producing.
In 2006, after Vice President Dick Cheney shot a friend in the face while hunting, he agreed to “only” speak to Fox’s Brit Hume though “every news organization was hotly pursuing” interviews. When he travels, Cheney requires that all televisions in his hotel rooms be turned to Fox News.
Earlier this week, Fox’s Shepard Smith reminded us that Fox is Bush’s “network after all.”

December 14th, 2007 at 2:25 pmI agree, dana. It IS audacious for more or less responsible members of the press to be asked to be treated with respect by this administration.
It’s actually a little bit delusional.
After all, they’re not the guys who keep Bush’s approval rating out of the teens, are they? What right do they have to be invited to te president’s house?

What a shame to wasting it all on pure unadulterated evil. Eva Braun will have a beer with her in Hell, commisserate a little, I’m sure.
Meanwhile, here’s a novel idea: No reporters should ever ask for, nor should one receive, an invitation to go to the White House for an informal function. They should only, always be there to report. This way, something close to objectivitiy twixt the news and their reporting of the White House might finally come back.
December 14th, 2007 at 2:29 pmHow dare these “other” media channels think they have a right to be at a party for the news media.
December 14th, 2007 at 2:29 pmBrain?

Of course, since you don’t know jack about history yourself, you’d never hold it against her.
Only looks and money count, right Frank?

She has brains she married an Englishman
December 14th, 2007 at 2:30 pmNOT “bash the president”.
Ask the questions that make them JOURNALISTS, the ones they are SUPPOSED TO ASK of their ELECTED OFFICIALS.
Bush may be a TRAITOR, but he still WORKS FOR US, not vice-versa.
People like Bush and Cheney and Perino are TRAITORS to the USA.
Perino’s husband is “lucky”?
Yup, he probably gets to bvfckver her like Gannon does to Bush.
They are, however, all WAR CRIMINALS, and God SEES their evil.
I wonder if her husband feels “lucky” about BURNING IN HELL for ETERNITY.
Since they are Satan-worshippers, I guess so…

December 14th, 2007 at 2:35 pmAs nice as it is to hear Doocy admit that it is the “other channels” that are bashing Bush - implying that Fox is Bush’s lapdog - the other networks suck up almost as much as Fox.
Take Glenn Beck, for example, whose ratings are dead last, but CNN persists in propping up this under-achiever despite his being an enduring loser.

Comment by Frank M
Frank, frank, frank…Didn’t you hear how well she answered the question concerning the Cuban missle crisis? She didn’t know what it was. For a loyal bushie, I guess stupidity passes for brains now, huh?
Plus, she had to marry a guy who reminds her of her father. Yep, she’s a republican alright! Incest is best!
December 14th, 2007 at 2:42 pmWell, you know Dana, the White House belongs to ALL of the people. Besides, it would do the conservatives good to stop being such partisans if they really wanted to raise the presidents horrid approval rating.
December 14th, 2007 at 2:45 pmYeah, the President, like his staff, is only comfortable being around those who think and believe exactly like he does. Must be why his foreign policy is such a doggone success story.
The nerve of people who disagree with a public official wanting to be invited to a public funded function celebrating the joy of Christmas and all that Christian talk of togetherness. How weird indeed.
December 14th, 2007 at 2:46 pmPerino and Doocy seem to forget that this is the people’s house [White House] and the party is paid for by taxpayers and not the Republican party or Fox network.
Doocy admitted that other channels criticising Bush,but not Fox,and Perino seems to agree….!!
December 14th, 2007 at 2:48 pmJust as well that those “other channels” stay away. There has to be someone left to air the war crimes trials–and it’s clear the FOX staff will be in the docket with the rest of the Misadministration.
December 14th, 2007 at 2:49 pmAll these radio propagandists should be supporting Dennis Kucinich. His health care plan covers mental illness.
December 14th, 2007 at 2:50 pmI know this is hard for Dana to accept, but politicians are SUPPOSED to be criticized not blindly followed.
December 14th, 2007 at 2:52 pmIt’s had to have that Caligula-like orgy with all those prying eyes.

Comment by slappy magoo — December 14, 2007 @ 2:29 pm
I couldn’t agree more. In fact, Walter Cronkite has complained about this for years and agrees with you, too.
December 14th, 2007 at 2:56 pmI used to think that Bush administration insiders privately laughed at the hollow propaganda on Fox News, just as we do. But I’m beginning to understand that they actually believe it. They need it like a drug. They need their warped view of reality reinforced all day long. As if they’d disintegrate upon hearing the truth. Like a young Hollywood starlet needs sycophants surrounding her all day telling her she’s beautiful. Like the Wicked Witch of the West. Throw some water on her and she’ll disappear before your eyes. That’s some scary sh*t.
December 14th, 2007 at 2:57 pmLet’s be fair, TP — your headline is misleading. While Ms. Peroxide didn’t handle these questions with a lot of grace, she didn’t actually say what your heading implied she did (that it’s awkward to have other channels besides Fox News at White House parties).
What she said was that it’s “awkward” to have to deal with uninvited people asking to be invited to a party. Which is another matter, and suggests that she might not be the person to be in charge of the guest list.
First, if the party is especially for members of the news media, then representatives from EVERY medium that does political reporting should be invited. If you want to have a party for only Fox News, have it — but be advised that it’s bad PR to show favoritism, even though we all KNOW that Fox News is the teacher’s pet.
Second, once the guest list is set and vetted, any uninvited parties trying to wangle an invitation should be dealt with politely but firmly.
Apparently Perino finds it difficult to manage either of these.
December 14th, 2007 at 2:59 pmWhy do almost all the Republican women in the news look like trophy wives at the country club?
It’s weird.

When you’re THE PRESIDENT and you throw a party for the Press, you invite all the people who cover the White House, whether they have criticized you or not.
December 14th, 2007 at 3:00 pmHeh…. well, let’s encourage them all next year to just boycott it and let Dubya, Dick and Faux News celebrate all by themselves. God knows the rest of us will be busy celebrating the election results and preparing for a Democrat to take power in January 2009.
December 14th, 2007 at 3:00 pmRe 33
Bush isn’t criticized, it’s the decisions he makes. I guess that’s too difficult a concept for you to grasp. Who said they would criticize him at the party? They’re sure going to criticize him now. And bush may be throwing the party, but he’s not footing the bill, we are. as usual.
December 14th, 2007 at 3:02 pm#30: When you throw a party, you’re ot supposed to be criticized by the guests.
Comment by Frank M
But then their behavior and judgements should be such that no critisism is warranted. It’s their behavior which generates the critisism. They invite it. It would be impolite for us not to call them on it.
America is much stronger and much braver than the current squatters in the WH.
December 14th, 2007 at 3:02 pmFox “news” = the Joseph Goebbels Memorial Ministry of Propaganda.
December 14th, 2007 at 3:04 pmGlad to see Frankie weigh in on the substanitive issues of the day.
December 14th, 2007 at 3:05 pmAlso note that the Fox hack used the wingnut codeword “bash”, rather than “criticize”. “Bash” has all the connotations of thuggery and clumsiness that they like to associate with anyone who dares point out the emperor’s new clothes.
I do have to wonder what the fate of all these Fox hacks is going to be after January 2009, when they’re no longer the Official White House Network.

Zooey is our own Lisa Simpson, and Frank - our Smithers.
December 14th, 2007 at 3:11 pm#30 - missmolly - Your interpretation is not correct.
Perino responded directly to Doocy’s comment about how weird it was to have people at the White House who have bashed the President by say that “It’s a little awkward.” She then went on to add her impression of critics who asked for invitations.
Also, these events don’t have set guest lists. It is common practice for media figures, or their employers, to call for invitations. That’s how most of the guests get there.
December 14th, 2007 at 3:11 pmThe Bush administration keeps forgetting that they’re the administration for the entire nation, not just for the 28% who kiss their ass. Otherwise we’d have two presidents: one for the 28% and one for the 72%.

As taxpayers, they paid for the party. That gives them the right. If Bush threw a party out of his own funds, then you’d have a point.

You’re right — I reread it and I did misinterpret her remarks. And I see that my misinterpretation gave her more credit than she was due. So much for giving people the benefit of the doubt.
WHY is this bubblehead in this position? She proves her ineptness on a daily basis!
December 14th, 2007 at 3:18 pmTradionally and historically, the media main function is to protect the public and the masses from the abuse of government,and exposing that government wrong doing to the public.
But recently,some media establishments are behaving as if they were part of the government.
A big risk to the public is when the media gets in bed with the government.
Fox network is acting as the voice of the government,instead of acting as the voice of the people which Fox supposed to protect.
December 14th, 2007 at 3:18 pmHey, family gatherings at the holidays are most oftentimes awkward. Lots of differing views on politics and religion (the two most contentious topics). Why can’t they just behave like grownups and leave the job behind for a night of fun and frivolity? My advice: grow up! You’re not in High School any more!
December 14th, 2007 at 3:20 pmHer comments prove exactly was the left has been saying for years. That is Fox Noise Channel is a lap dog to this President and the Republicans party. The press Sec. stated that is was weird having people who think for themselves at the Party rather than those who agree with what ever happens regardless. This proves that the President is only the leader of the 32 percent of the people who agree with him. He doesn’t even have a majority in his own party, but yet he’s right about everything.
December 14th, 2007 at 3:21 pmIts that ‘club mentality’ they practice in all parts of government and the press. If you aren’t on board and part of the club, then you are out.
No wonder they are such dismal failures at diplomacy.

It’s the male ego, some men think having a beautiful woman makes them more manly than other men. Fred Thompson’s two youngsters reinforce this point, showing that a trophy woman can help an old man’s virility.
Then there’s the Larry Craig type who settle for not as pretty to “prove” their not being gay (a beautiful woman might be too obvious by having affairs to satisfy their own needs).

December 14th, 2007 at 5:59 pmPeople think we hate Dana because of how she looks? I thought it was the garbage that comes out of the sh!t-hole she calls a mouth.
Plus, if these idiots want to make “awkward questions” go away? ANSWER THEM! Bushco reminds me of the kid in a very cruel joke. Long story? Short: he’s afraid to tell his parents he broke his bedroom window. On his deathbed (Hypothermia/Pneumonia. Very sad.) his little brother asks him why he didn’t tell and, with his last gasp says, “Dad would have killed me”.
If these asses would just tell appropriate authorities what they’ve been up to; the world could continue along it’s un-Merry way. So long as they keep up the stubborn pretense that they’ve done nothing wrong, and don’t need to prove it, nothing substantive can happen.
It’s a race between “showing loyalty” and “retiring to the embrace of family”. We can only hope the desperate survivors can’t juggle things indefinitely. A few “awkward questions” are still our best defense against these guys.
It’s going to take a near miracle to retrieve anything useful out of the current government. And we better find people who are willing to take personal responsibility for screw ups. We don’t need perfection. Just accountability.
December 14th, 2007 at 6:01 pmBush is a COXUCKER punk TRAITOR to the USA and can do nothing but
LIE.
So, you can’t have reporters who would ask him questions that SHOW he is a LIAR and a TRAITOR to the USA, can you, Drano??

OK little Frankietroll. Are you aware of all the documents that W had stacked on pallets (from his term as Gov. in TX) and shipped to his father’s library so they would not be available for the public to examine? And this is just the beginning! It is well known that this is the most secretive administration in history.

Hey Dana, step down from the WH podium, where you daily hand out your flimsy air-headed version of the news. Go fight the War or shut the hell up.
December 14th, 2007 at 9:33 pmPerino should start filling in on the Factor for O’Reilly, you know, when he’s busy fact checking or something.
December 14th, 2007 at 10:08 pmPerino said, “I was in charge of taking the invitations this year.” WOW! Perino is IN CHARGE of taking invitations! Whoa, DUDE! Perino also said(admitted) “There wasn’t a lot of work done where I was.” Gee, NO SHIT, SHERLOCK! WINDOW DRESSING IS

“Such a beautiful woman and with a brain, too. A rare combination. Her husband is a lucky guy.”
Don’t intelligent women know what the Cuban Missle Crisis is? You know, that time we were pretty close to being blasted into oblivion? Ferret-face, you have low standards…but I quite understand why.
December 14th, 2007 at 11:46 pmPERINO: It’s a little awkward. And it was amazing to me, being in charge of taking the requests for invitations this year, how audacious some people are to call and ask to be invited to the president’s Christmas party.
Perino chooses to forget, the White House is the people’s house, not Bush’s. Journalists, no matter how much they antagonize the president, do so on behalf of the people.
(Bush antagonizes the people, do we seek to evict? . . . Not so long as Pelosi is in charge.)
The press represents the people . . . FOX, as a member of the press, does represent a minority . . . but when the White House holds a party for the people . . . we’re paying . . . we expect to be represented. . . . After all . . . It’s our House. . . we are “the people.”
How rude, Perino, that you would call “the people” unwelcome house guests. . .

I’ll be in the Lincoln bedroom . . . aaah, you are a dear . . . oh . . . Mr. O’Reilly, Britt always lingers, could you possibly carry me? . . . feeling so faint after all . . . and it is sooo…. far.”
December 15th, 2007 at 4:59 amPERINO: “Oh, your hip . . . kind of like Dick’s . . . forgive me, I must have lost my mind to have forgotten . . . you guys have been here since Nixon . . . I can walk, just take the elevator. . . Britt’s bound to rediscover the bar any minute.”
December 15th, 2007 at 5:03 am“DOOCY: [H]ow weird is it to have, Dana, people who appear on other channels, who bash the president all the time, and then, one night a year, they come into the White House, they bring their kids, and they say, Hi, how are you, as if they haven’t been bashing the president all year long?”
Translation for non-fascists: The Whitehouse is uncomfortable with the truth, the shadow of the truth, and anyone that dares report it.
December 16th, 2007 at 2:53 pmI agree, it’s positively scandalous. Remember when the indy media got loose and ORGIED in the Lincoln Bedroom? Had to steam the goddamn carpets and repaint the ceiling!
