No You Can't
Barack Obama took his first concrete shot at isolating Fox News today by attempting to shut the network out of a round of interviews between the White House press pool and his new so-called "Pay Czar" Kenneth Feinberg.
Soak that up: Obama calls out his network pals to intimidate a fellow American broadcaster from exercising its First Amendment rights.
In response to this outrage, the Washington bureau chiefs of the 5 networks sided with Fox. Faced with this revoltin' development, Obama was forced to back down, as all bullies do when their bluff is called.
It's refreshing to see the first evidence that the networks may, just may, be waking up to Obama's inner fascist. If that is so, he could be losing them just when he most needs their cover.
Uh Oh.
