Apparently the infants over at the White House are trying to intimidate democrat operatives into boycotting Fox News.....
From SwampPolitics -- At least one Democratic political strategist has gotten a blunt warning from the White House to never appear on Fox News Channel, an outlet that presidential aides have depicted as not so much a news-gathering operation as a political opponent bent on damaging the Obama administration.
Political consultants are a staple of cable television talk shows, analyzing current events based on their own experiences working on campaigns or in government.
One Democratic strategist said that shortly after an appearance on Fox he got a phone call from a White House official telling him not to be a guest on the show again. The call had an intimidating tone, he said.
The message was, "We better not see you on again,'' said the strategist, who spoke on condition of anonymity so as not to run afoul of the White House. An implicit suggestion, he said, was that "clients might stop using you if you continue.''
What a bunch of cry-baby ass-wipes this administration is! Every time they whine, complain, and now threaten and intimidate people about Fox News, it only makes Americans watch Fox that much more. Fox is the lone critic of the Obama administration, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid. Of course they want to silence dissent. It'll make it far easier to pull the wool over the eyes of Americans as they rail-road us into universal health-care, cap-and-trade, higher taxes, etc., if our only source of information is the obedient, Obama-suck-ups in the main-stream-media.
If anything, this hard-balled, anti-American, Chicago-style tactic should back-fire as all journalists, pundits, and strategists should be shocked, appalled, and pissed that any, ANY administration would threaten them for covering the news. This sort of thug mentality Obama and Emanual brought from Chicago will only make Americans more resolute in their opposition to being rail-roaded by them.
Keep it up, Obama. See how far it gets you.
