We must admit a bit of discombobulation this morning. Just as Captain Renault was shocked (shocked) to find out there was gambling at Rick’s Cafe Americain we are shocked – shocked, we tell you – to find out that the White House has an anti-Fox News bias.
Fox reports, we deride:
Internal Obama administration emails obtained by Judicial Watch provide evidence that FNC was specifically singled out for exclusion. According to one October 22, 2009, email exchange between Dag Vega, Director of Broadcast Media on the White House staff, to Jenni LeCompte, then-Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs in the Treasury Department, Vega informs LeCompte that “…we’d prefer if you skip Fox please.”
Regarding general anti-FNC bias within the Obama White House in an October 23, 2009, email exchange between Jennifer Psaki, Deputy White House Communications Director and LeCompte, Psaki writes, “I am putting some dead fish in the fox cubby – just cause.” In an email on the night of October 22, 2009, commenting on a report by Fox News Channel anchor Bret Baier noting the exclusion of the network from the pool, Psaki writes to Compte and fellow White House colleagues, “…brett baier just did a stupid piece on it — but he is a lunatic.”
Guess we now know why Obama never funneled any TARP funds to Fox’s parent company and even expected them to pay their taxes last year.
