#2 This is frightenung at so many levels. When the Jews in Germany watched the gays being hauled off they probably wondered who's next, as the Jews were hauled off the gypsies watched wondering, but knowing. I may have the order wrong, but the point is MSNBC and the rest need to understand where this will go. This is just disturbing.

This is an all out assault on the Constitution by our White House, this is Sedition, I can think of no other term that fits. Free speach IS the cornerstone to our nations constitution. That president is going to disregard the very foundation of our nation until we are in a full blown totalitarian state.

BTW, I'm not a big fan of FOX or any of the major networks, but this is unacceptable.

#3 the more they can treat Fox like one other organization, the easier they can get back to governing, and then put some people out on Fox," Gergen said on CNN. "I mean, for goodness sakes, you know, you engage in the debate.

The problem is they don't want to govern, and they don't want to engage in debate. All they want to do is destroy their enemies (i.e. anyone with a different opinion).

P.S. Anita Dunn really damaged the other "news organizations" when she claimed the WH controlled them. She essentially admitted that they are nothing but pro-Obama propaganda outlets.

Why would anybody listen to them?

#4 Obama has an enemies list? How Nixonian!

#5 So far, none of the four other major networks has given any indication that they wish to disinvite Fox News from the White House pool -- the rotation through which the networks share the costs and duties of White House coverage and the most significant interaction among the news channels.

Cause if WH pool reporting is reduced to the lowest common denominator, it will demonstrate to the next administration [if there is one], that they have no need for any of them. Got to protect their phoney baloney jobs!

#6 Anita Dunn really damaged the other "news organizations" when she claimed the WH controlled them. She essentially admitted that they are nothing but pro-Obama propaganda outlets.

They are control-freaks and Fox didn't conform. This is a unique situation as we are living in as a post-MSM world with the advent of the internet, cell phone videos, and access to real news and varied opinion. They must be going bonkers with each new incriminating video! Beck has called on the citizen watchdogs so they won't know what will blindside them next! Hee, hee:)

#7 News Corp, which owns the Fox cable network and local TV stations has been rumored to be interested in buying NBC/MSNBC. GE, owner of NBC, has lots of debt. I don't seen Eric Holder allowing that sale to happen; he would invoke anti-trust laws most likely.

#8 Fox has in many cases far greater number of viewers than other networks. This bunch in the White House really don't give a rats ass about that do the? Either a very calloused move or a very dumb move.

#9 Let them continue their attack on Fox. They're digging their own grave. Dunn and Duckworth are a couple of leftest wingnuts.

GE has been borrowing all the money it wants at Treasury interest rates because of the TARP program. Why would it jeopardize its hundred billion dollar credit line with the Treasury to sell a measly network?

#11 Tapper: It's escaped none of our notice that the White House has decided in the last few weeks to declare one of our sister organizations "not a news organization" and to tell the rest of us not to treat them like a news organization. Can you explain why it's appropriate for the White House to decide that a news organization is not one...

Gibbs: Jake, we render, we render an opinion based on some of their coverage and the fairness that, the fairness of that coverage.

Tapper: But that's a pretty sweeping declaration that they are "not a news organization." How are they any different from, say â

Gibbs: ABC -

Tapper: ABC. MSNBC. Univision. I mean how are they any different?

Gibbs: You and I should watch sometime around 9 o'clock tonight. Or 5 o'clock this afternoon.

Tapper: I'm not talking about their opinion programming or issues you have with certain reports. I'm talking about saying thousands of individuals who work for a media organization, do not work for a "news organization" -- why is that appropriate for the White House to say?

Gibbs: That's our opinion.
