Kenneth, What's The Frequency?

Contrary to other published spin, Fox News DID ask for an interview with Obama pay czar Kenneth Feinberg.  Fox suit Michael Clemente tells Huff Po's Danny Shea that the reports that Fox was left out in the cold for not asking are false.

A Treasury grunt is being blamed for attempting to freeze out Fox.  A mistake, says WH press czar Robert Gibbs.  Sure.  Icing Fox backfired.  Gibbs tries and fails to save face. It's all a bunch of BS.  Pool networks don't have to "ask."

Fox WH correspondent Major Garrett deconstructs the latest ill-conceived WH move to marginalize Fox, noting that as punishment for supporting Fox, all of the network interviews were slashed from five to two minutes.  As Fox Special Report anchor Bret Baier noted Friday night a "reporter" (had to be Major Garrett) told him " it was like speed dating.":

Meanwhile, Time's Joe Klein is doing his Tevye impersonation crying, "Sedition, sedition" at Fox.

Sedition? Sedition? What is this the Adams Administration?

Oy vey, Joe.

Ah, just blame Bush, evil insurance companies and/or US Chamber of Commerce.

Kinda exploded in the WH's face, didn't it?
