0-5 For Fox News

[BurtWorm]

I wonder if Fishbowl DC is concerned for FoxNews, or if they're enjoying the turnabout as much as I am.

:evilgrin:

As we've been documenting, Fox News hasn't gotten a question in during President-elect Barack Obama's five press conferences since the election.

Today was another. Questions instead went to such outlets as ABC, New York Times, CBS, Reuters and the Associated Press.

In related Fox News news, see the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's recent profile of Brit Hume.

>UPDATE: Questions went to Liz Sidoti (AP), Caren Bohan (Reuters), Jake Tapper (ABC), Peter Baker (NYT), John McCormick (Tribune), Tribune, Dean Reynolds (CBS).

>UPDATE: Christina Bellantoni writes, "New seating at Obama presser: popcorn v. mints."

1. Obama called on Wendell..that FoxNews reporter

I forgot the question, but he's the black reporter for Fox. He got to ask a question.

2. All right!

So they can shut the fuck up for the next ten pressers.

9. On Thom Hartman's show they say the fox reporter asked about Richardson's beard

3. So President-Elect Obama has surpassed the number of press conferences given by Bush in 8 years

and he hasn't even taken office yet. :)

4. no, the last question was from a fox news reporter.

7. I noticed that the Fox reported that asked the last question of the Presser

minded his Ps and Qs. He seemed to ask a worthwhile question. Guess waiting so long makes one think.

8. Bless Fox's little pea pickin heart, they are tryin'...

... I have noticed since election night they SEEM to be a bit more balanced (NOT counting Hannity of course.)

One tiny little thing.... I dont know when they started doing it, but I've noticed they've been spelling Bin Laden's first name by the less popular way "Usama." You almost have to think so viewers wont be confused with you know who. IF they are doing it for that reason, then they are to be commended.

Now, because I know you're curious .... I'm a news channel junkie .... if if MSNBC is showing "Raw" and CNN is showing a rerun of Larry interviewing Paris Hilton ... well guess what? I'm gonna put it on Fox. It's nice to see how the other side thinks sometimes. lol
