In White House Vs. Fox News War Of Words, Who Gets Your Vote?
The stories about what the Obama White House has to say about Fox News Channel keep coming.

There was White House communications director saying telling Howard Kurtz of The Washington Post and CNN "let's not pretend they're a news network the way CNN is."

Also last week it was NPR's David Folkenflik reporting that "the White House is taking direct aim at Fox News, the news organization that is the home to the most potent collection of its conservative critics."

This week it's ABC News' Jake Tapper asking why the Obama team was treating one of the "sister organizations" so badly -- and the news that the White House had tried to block a Fox News reporter from interviewing the so-called pay czar. (After all the networks objected, the White House relented.)

It seems like time for a survey:

IMO the vote has been skewed by freepers. It has the WH at 18% and Faux News as fair and balanced at 80% So it needs normal people voting. HEAR YE HEAR YE Go vote

1. Don't bother. You can vote multiple times and Freepers are using a bot.

3. How ridiculous.
No one with a speck of objectivity could imagine Faux News to be unbiased. The problem is with Democrats that lend credence to Faux by appearing on their station. Faux should be strictly boycotted by any and all moderate to liberal anyone.
