Not when it came to Kenneth Feinberg.

That fellow journalists don't view Fox journalists as right-wing propagandists. At the end of the day, legitimate journalists have a better feel for their colleagues than the WH ever could. You're sorely missing the point if you don't understand the camraderie that comes with a special assignement in the WH Press Corps. It's not just anyone's gig. It's regarded as a coveted assignment, an "I have arrived" moment for journalists.

I thought she was being a bit toooooo kind.

Sanrene, that is. Not Helen Thomas.

LOL - are you sure the message wasn't an acknowledgement of "length of service and commitment"?

Are you sure it was a statement from individual journalist about individual journalist?

The people at the WH Press corp aren't the ones people accuse of being right wing.

The idiots on fox and friends, those guys are biased.

There you go again. One day you're trying to side-step blanket statements, and the next you're all of a sudden trying to make it appear that Fox News isn't castigated in totality for its right-leaning bias. LOL

Lets be clear about this: Fox News is regularly assailed by the Left for its conservative bias. 9 times out of 10, no one on this forum is differentiating between the different reporters, commentators, and journalists. Its all or nothing "Fox Lies blah blah blah." Myriad posts and threads are available in the Search function if you disagree.

Nice try.

Yep, you completely missed the point.

The regular hosts of fox and friends usually have a very clear conservative Republican bias.

Is that better?

She was known for being a crotchety old woman that wore her politics on her sleeve. She's certainly not in any way objective. She hated Bush, loves obama.
