What was that GOP staged organization? Jeff Gannon of Talon News? FAUX was just as phony.

If they continue to ignore them, they will go away. They are nothing but phony noise anyway.

What a bizarre site. This string of comments has as it’s genesis the mirror image of the place on the bell curve occupied by Fox News. Irony is so excellent.

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.

Oh happy days!

I think they should treat Fox the way Bush has treated Helen Thomas the last 8 years. Give them a question every three years or so.

Payback is indeed a b*tch.

I’ve noted that so far Obama has identified reporter by both their full name and which news organization they represent. rather than calling on “Stretch”.

I hope this continues as that such information is transferred to the WH transcripts which otherwise under Bush have simply attributed questions to “Q”

( the onl;y reporter I’ve ever been really able to identify from such transcripts has been Les Kinsolving, because he asks things that no-one lese gives a damn about)

Once Fox News get’s real Journalist then they will be questions asked. Right now Fox News has drunks, insane people and even drug addicts posing as Journalist. BillO is the insane fake reporter and needs medicial help fast. Beck is a drunk/druggie faking his way on air.

What’s the matter with this new elitist President elect? Is he too arrogant and high and mighty to allow the lowly, meek, and mild FOX News people to ask a question ahead of all the hundreds of other, obviously liberal elitist media types?

I commented on the Obama website, change.gov that I do not want Obama to snub anyone. We have had enough of news coverage directed by the decider. Obama is big enough to face the issues and questions head on. We don’t expect Obama to have all the answers yet, but we expect him to face all the questions. Change is the message, change from the last eight years.

Obama is actually being Kind to Fox News Reporters.

He is very well informed on the issues, he thinks fast on his feet, and he listens carefully to the questions.

If Fox News asks a Dumb or Loaded Question, he is Very Likely to Embarass them with his answer.

Gibbs:

There is nothing “nefarious” about not taking questions from Fox.

He’s still in Chicago and I don’t think Helen Thomas is here. He has been calling on many Chicago reporters while he’s here since some of them won’t be moving on to DC.

Dumb Question:

Out of all the reporters there, what are the odds that any one reporter gets to ask a question. And then as a lot of smaller papers were snubbed in the past, doesn’t it make sense to give them a chance to ask a question.

I’m just saying that it sounds more like Faux is whining that they aren’t getting more than their fair share any more. No evidence of snubbing (although they would deserve it).

An overinflated sense of importance
