I'd be pissed if the Admin excluded Fox from press briefings, but see no issue with declining interview requests for admin officials.

Or excluding them from certain round table discussions.

And while it gives Fox something to crow about I don't think it's costing the Admin any support. They weren't getting the Fox News audience vote anyway.

would you be pissed if The Daily Show was excluded because they're more comedy than news, even though they're a significant source of news for many? -- nm - Max Nov 3, 15:43 1
- They don't put themselves forward as a news organization and have no problem with them being excluded even from press briefings. -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 15:51

- Generic opinion. If the WH wants to discuss policy with news outlets, they are well within their rights to pick and choose who they include. - TWuG Nov 3, 15:50
