Fox has been a member of this pool since 1997, and pays its part of the cost to maintain it. No matter, Obama and Co. said that the other four members were invited to a round-robin interview with the Pay Czar, after the administration’s announcement of the slashing of executive pay at companies that took bailout money, but that Fox News could go eat shit and die or something; just don’t show up!

To their credit, the others, including ABC News, CBS News, NBC News and Bloomberg all told the White House to go pound sand — if Fox was excluded they wouldn’t show up — so Obama backed down. This time.

If the executive branch ever manages to take full control of the media we’re all toast. Obama doesn’t seem to understand this — or yet, maybe he does . . .
