PRESS STANDS UP AGAINST WHITE HOUSE ATTEMPT TO EXCLUDE FOX NEWS

Washington Examiner - The Obama administration tried to exclude Fox News from the White House press pool. . .

Thursday the White House made "pay czar" Kenneth Feinberg available for interviews to every member of the White House pool except Fox News. The pool is the five-network group that shared the costs and duties of daily coverage of the presidency and has done so for decades.

But in a surprising show of decency, the four other members of the pool -- ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN -- told the White House if Fox were barred none of them would participate in the interview session.

The administration caved and made Feinberg available for Fox News.

Press Corps? You meant Tabloid Corps. There isn't a serious journalist in that lot. I am not GOP or DEM, but I won't lower my standards of journalism just to satisfy yet another corporate giant - the media. Get a grip. Not every one with a short skirt and a notepad is a journalist.
