How about offering round-robin interviews with Feingold to the press corps, and specifically excluding Fox? Snubbing Chris Wallace on "Obama Sunday".
What better way to silence than to minimize access? Didn't work of course, but they tried.

How would that "silence" them?

Why would I defend Fox? Its not like I think they are honest. What I am pointing out is that liberals don't mind liberal slanted media while they simultaneously go nuts because Fox is slanted to the right.

You said earlier that Rachel Maddow lies; could you give a link to Rachel Maddow lying about something?

Also, Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow both constantly criticize Obama and the Obama Admin, and Democrats in Congress.

Do you not really see the connection? If you're interested in what Feingold had to say, would you prefer an original interview, or a second-hand recap from a reporter who wasn't even there?

News is all about access. The WH is making a concentrated effort to minimize Fox's access.

I agree it's unbecoming for the WH to play games like that, but restricting access to an interview isnt the same as trying to "silence" them.

Im sure Faux is going to be pushing the idea on its fans that the WH is going to try to silence them ("any day now"), if they're not pushing it already.

So you agree that the WH is playing games with Fox..so to what end? What exactly is the purpose? Obviously they have an agenda...restricting access to a press corps member is unheard of.

So, if not to silence them (and yes, repeated lack of access will most definitely hurt a news organization), what is the administration's goal?
