1. The media is all in this together

They are all party to the right wing full bore attack on a Democratic President.

2. So they discuss this without having seen the video from CNN apparently

The objections they raise are things Ms Dunn already discussed on the show. First, they are not calling Fox's WH reporter, Major Garrett, a partisan operative--Ms Dunn says they even had a conversation about this. Buchanan says that Chris Wallace does an "objective," hard nosed Sunday show, but he doesn't mention Ms Dunn's objection, which is that FNS "fact checked" an administration guest from the previous week; Ms Dunn says, and I have no reason to disbelieve her, that this had never been done to any guest in the past.

Further, Harold Ford says it's unfair of the President not to go on Fox. Ms Dunn said the President WILL go on Fox, but she doesn't know when it will happen, because the President likes to engage in ideas with those who support him and those who don't.

7. I just spit up a little in my mouth when I saw "Harold Ford", it happens... whoops, did it again!

3. It felt the right decision given so called news organization creating the news and hyping...

frenzied rallies that had no purpose at the WH. It made a clear statement maybe they'll acknowledge it and it won't be so hard to get and interview with the President in the future.

4. I think they missed how she said it....

Anita Dunn used the term "wing of the Republican party" which is crap right now,
I don't believe she used the term " Conservative party " which is not that much looked down upon.

5. Well, of COURSE they did!

Fox News is the spiritual home of Joe, Mika and Pat.........
