If Fox Is Partisan, It Is Not Alone
I had planned to do a blog entry 10 days ago the controversy over White House exclusion of Fox "News" from news making events and I assume from private "off-the-record" backgrounders.
I don't view this as new practice. Just look at how the Bush Press Secretaries treated Helen Thomas or New York Times Reporters. Then I felt the subject had been adequately covered and it would be stale so I passed.
Luckily John Harwood, chief Washington correspondent for CNBC, came at it from a similar angle. His article on viewer politics by network over the last decade is good -- Well worth reading. By the way Harwood use to do the same job for the Wall Street Journal but is one of many fine reporters who moved during the Murdock acquisition.
