Looks like the Obama administration takes their 'war' with Fox News pretty seriously.

This certainly contributes to legitimizing the 'transparency' promised during the 2008 campaign.

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.

About time the good guys started hitting back at these knuckle draggers. I hear Faux News is interested in getting Fat Lou Dobbs.

Except for the glandular satisfaction that one may derive from it, I don't think that any virtue accrues to going after a media outlet. Spiro Agnew tried it during hte first Nixon administration and the payback was Watergate. We all know how that ended. I hope that the President has enough sense to not repeat that mistake.

Going after the press or committing numerous crimes?



Long as I remember The rain been coming down.
Clouds of Mystery pouring Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun;
And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.

I don't think he will. He already admonished Governor Paterson here in New York for blaming the media (actually the moron blamed the white media) for his troubles. And while I agree that, thus far, Obama has been ineffective to a degree, I don't think he's stupid enough to go down the road of taking on the media. Call him what you want (if you must), but he's far from stupid.
