This administration has power that pales in comparison to any previous one. Who knows how vengeful they can become? Could their ‘pay czar’ decide execs of companies who advertise on Fox deserve less pay? Could they not dole out ’stimulus’ or other ‘walking around’ money to execs whose companies advertise on Fox?

I think we’re far from seeing the end of this story. It will only get worse it seems to me. They will act on their pique instead of just whining.

It’s like this, when all the parrots sing the same song, everything is fine. when one parrot is off key, everyone wants to know what is wrong with that parrot.

What the DNC doesn’t get, their parrot media is near death.

The White House apparently expects its friends in the liberal media to join it in attempting to marginalize Fox News.

Won’t happen:

• Obama will be gone one day. This is a kind of tit-for-tat the country doesn’t need, and the liberal media doesn’t need.
• Self-preservation: “When they came for Fox News, I said nothing…”
• Concern that Obama’s whiz-kids are ruining what ought to be the liberals’ time in the Sun.

The Obama administration, complete with a raft of unqualified leftist and Marxist czars, is coming undone rapidly. Losing the good will of the usual leftist suspects at the Post is yet another sign that this administration is adrift, having no idea how to behave.

But once again, I must ask the question: What did anyone expect would happen after electing the most radical and least qualitied person in our history? None of this should be the slightest bit surprising.

If you read the comments under the opinion piece, they are rather funny.

There is a massive amount of vitriol released against Fox. If you’re doing a good job, its going to raise hackles.

or maybe aggression, perhaps a phrase, total control. But pique?
Pique can’t start to cover it. These are nasty birds and pique is too delicate a word to describe what burns inside them.
That goes for all the flunkies outside the WH as well, those who will turn on a dime and ditch what were supposed to be core beliefs.
Core what ??

Good to see the Washington Post giving a half-hearted defense of Journalism.

Where’s everyone else, in defense of First Amendment? Columbia Journalism Review? Where is the NYT? Is there a Walter Cronkite in the house? What about the idealistic reporters who entered the field, having read “All The Presidents Men”? Are there any honest journalists left?

Nope.

They are not playing House, They are playing “Presidency” in the Whitehouse. So whats happening isnt really happening, accept it really is. Have they played Army or Banking yet.

While the Democratic-Party Media are cautiously speaking out, in tiny whispers, against this very public enemies list, they are also conflicted. They worry about their own freedom to write, but they are also rabidly jealous of Fox’s ratings. They worry the veil between them and the Democratic party has been so torn the White House is all they have left. Each and every one of them are frightened by the aspect of not being included in White House weenie roasts and slumber parties. If they are shut out of those, they have no credibility left at all.

Never have their been such a complete lack of journalistic curiousity in what is driving down this president’s numbers. They also seem frozen by the growing fury at the Democratic Party. They believed this would be a cake walk and it has turned into the walk of shame.

If my memory serves correctly Jimmy Carter used to have anyone who criticized him (including comedians) investigated by the Secret Service. This is just one more reason to think that Obama is a more dangerous version of Carter. Neither of them can stand dissent or criticism.
