#1 Two things;
We simply decided to stop abiding by the fiction, which is aided and abetted by the mainstream press, that Fox is a traditional news organization my emphasis on the word traditional which, I believe means "willing to go along with the White House's demands and guidelines" as the rest of the media is willing to do;
and the other is "started a public debate about Fox", how their ranting is being characterized as debate. I don't think the word means what you think it means.

Scrambling to keep the rats on the ship.

#4 Man, the New York Times just compared a Democratic White House press shop with the Imperial Japanese, comparing their decision-making process with that which resulted in the comprehensive defeat of that state.

I'd say the bloom is thoroughly off the rose.

#5 I think it's obvious the other networks realize that if they let Obama shut out Fox, it means a future white house can do the same to them.

#6 They recognized this for what it was - Obamaland protection racket. They didn't bite. Cudos to them.

#7 which the Fox News contributor Tucker Carlson later called "pure Khmer Rouge stuff";

Some people just can't handle the truth.
