Someone is giving this administration bad advice.

I wonder if Bush had targeted a news organization to try and destroy...or even an opinion or gossip rag or tv show to do in what would have happened.
This administration is declaring open warfare and not just on FOX news but on the large section of our country that actually watches FOX news. I think this administration is in the act of shooting itself in the foot. they are using their positions in a manner that suggests they are afraid of FOX and Conservatives instead of rising above it.

Oh, here is the story: White House Escalates War at Fox News - Political News - FOXNews.com

Regardless of your opinion of FOX news wouldn't you say that this steps way over the line. Is this Venezuela? Cuba?
Wow...Just wow.

That's definitely a bad move on their part. He won the election (IMO) because of his appearance of remaining above the fray... This is less than ideal

Maybe they should have listened to Tom DeLay .

Anita was right to brand fox as opinion journalism masquerading as a news network, but I think she should be fair and brand all the cable networks that way and explain why Fox is treated as an exception

Bitter, party of one, you're table is ready.

Next stop - the gulags.

Judging by the quality of Fox reporting

Bush's FY 2009 budget, without Iraq funding for the second half of the year, was $3.1T.

I'm surprised they have any credibility at all.

Michael,

How relevant is your post in the context of this discussion? Please answer.

If you want to bash the quality of Fox news, go open another thread.

How relevant?

I would say very relevant.

PS: I agree that the administration is handling that the wrong way.

If it wasn't for FoxNews, how'd we find out about all the corruption that's going on?
