WH v. FNC: The Debate Continues

Last week, we posted a poll asking you to weigh in on the White House war with Fox News. The response was overwhelming – both in the number of folks that responded as well as the outcome. Based on our poll, only 21% of you thought that Obama’s attack on Fox News was appropriate presidential behavior.

The debate continued this weekend on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” with Howard Kurtz. HuffPo’s Nico Pitney, TWT‘s Amanda Carpenter and Jane Hall, a former FNC contributor, joined Kurtz to hash out the topic further.

Not surprisingly, Pitney said that taking on Fox News was the right thing to do. “If the Republican National Committee had a television network, how would it be any different?” he argued.

While Hall said, the battle makes the White House “look like a bunch of whiners.”
