Yes, and just how are they different? Anyone care to guess as to what Gibb's response was to this fabulous question? Go to Jake Tapper's blog to see.Tapper: It’s escaped none of our notice that the White House has decided in the last few weeks to declare one of our sister organizations “not a news organization” and to tell the rest of us not to treat them like a news organization. Can you explain why it’s appropriate for the White House to decide that a news organization is not one –
Gibbs: Jake, we render, we render an opinion based on some of their
coverage and the fairness that, the fairness of that coverage.Tapper: But that’s a pretty sweeping declaration that they are “not a news organization.” How are they any different from, say –
Gibbs: ABC -
Tapper: ABC. MSNBC. Univision. I mean how are they any different?
Tapper and Fox's Garret are two of the only correspondents that I consistently respect. Doing the job that most in the press refuse to do........
Via MemeorandumUPDATE: Beck tonight spoke on just this topic.

Refreshing to see someone ask the question that all of the other news organizations should be asking.
Gibbs opinion again is STOOPID.........But then again, they want a clown for the front man speaking for the White House... He is the next one to get thrown under the bus. Blame it on Gibsy... This is a dog and pony show, Unfortunately us "pony's" are playing hard ball. Every night at 430 pm EST i put HALF HOUR TIL GLENN BECK............ Pisses a few off I think, but he is asking the questions the White House refuses to answer. Keep up the good would hon, you're blog is great, thanks for all the info!!
The whole "BHO's White House vs. Fox News" is just so silly. I haven't paid that much attention to it b/c it just makes this POTUS look foolish - and he didn't need any help there! The way I see it, the folks who're actually believing what the White House is saying about Fox News don't watch it anyway...& we know THEY'RE in the minority. This will all blow over.
Great blog, though. Cpdcop is right!
Thanks for this information, I no longer watch television. I get my news from the web,radio or word of mouth, and now certain blogs such as yours that I am following.
I am glad to know that there might be some credible correspondents out there...thanks for bringing this to my attention.
I am outraged the White House would come out and make such a statement. In fact this in and of itself waves a huge, red, hammer and sickle emblazoned flag! I now desire to cruise Fox News' Website even more....
You know...similar to parents trying to "ban" or "forbid" certain content from their teenagers? This sometimes results in a heightened curiosity and desire to see it even more...now I wish to see just what the Obamanator is trying to protect the populous from!

@ CPD - Yes indeed. Thank you for reading and supporting, stick around, I'm working hard here!
@ Susannah - Thank you for the compliment.
@ Jen - They probably do have a communist flag over the WH at this point, we just don't know it yet. And yes, you are so right. This nonsense from the WH will only make Fox more popular!
