Assunto: I'll give Fox credit for listening to there reporter

This from HUFFPOST:

"Fox News correspondent Major Garrett shot back in defense of Barack Obama against the network's morning show's effort to suggest that he has ignored Fox News throughout the campaign. In an internal email obtained by the Huffington Post, Garrett — who has been Fox News' correspondent following the Obama campaign — took issue with a planned "Fox & Friends" segment about whether Obama will try to control the media, using "KICKED REPORTERS OFF PLANE, IGNORE FNC, BIDEN FL AV INTVIEW" as "examples he's already done."

"May I point out Obama has done 5 interviews with me and one with Chris Wallace, one with Brit Hume and one with Bill O'Reilly," Garrett replied-all to a "Fox & Friends" producer's email. "That's 8 interviews. Would I like more? Yes. Would Chris Wallace? Yes. Would Brit and O'Reilly like more? Of course."

The e-mail, which went to a significant portion of Fox News staff, continued, comparing Obama's eight interviews with Fox News to the five Hillary Clinton gave the network.

"Just a note to add some real numbers and a grain of context," Garrett said. "Apologies if I left out any other big interview of Obama [or] Clinton on our network."

The planned guest, Media Research Center president Brent Bozell, did appear but the segment was retooled to discuss the media coverage of Obama's remarks on the coal industry."

Bush/Cheney seemed to always use the safe haven of Fox news for interviews over the past few years,it's good to see Obama venture into hostile territory even if it's not in his best interests.

Tuesday: I think it will be very interesting watching the dynamic evolve IF Obama wins,and that's a big IF........will MSNBC become apologists for the administration?

Will Fox maintain there usual support for the administration in power?

Personally I feel the biggest culture shock will occur at MSNBC,I don't see them making the adjustment as easily

Tuesday: I'll bet you money that Fox treats Obama with the utmost respect should he win the White House. And for the record, Fox has been very hard on Bush on both foreign and domestic issues. O'Reilly (my hero lol) has hammered the Bush administration for it's failure to live up to its constitutional duties to protect our borders. He's failed on many fronts and Fox, along with other news agencies, have reported those failures. The Surge was a success, but the aftermath of the war was totally unplanned and a comedy of errors. Fox has been a strong critic of how the Bush administration handled things after Iraq fell.

If Fox became a bashing agency for the Democrats (should Obama win) I'd quit watching them. Brit Hume and Chris Wallace are a class act. I'm watching them now. :) There will be shows such as Hannity and Combes where no matter what the Democrats do (or the Republicians for that matter) there will be critics (but you will find them equally represented). O'Reilly doesn't report the news, he is an analysist. He gives his view, and always has an opposing view represented. I've seen O'Reilly get ripped apart by a certain guest (out argued) and that guest is a regular even though he/she holds to an opposite view. It makes for a spirited debate. And Democratic Congresspersons are regulars on many Fox News programs. I think they all like to get into the thick of it and mix it up. I'll bet they all go have beers afterwards and laugh and tell jokes!

Artful Dodger: Fox would be commiting ratings suicide if they didn't move closer to center if Obama wins,they'd risk being cut out of the loop,and not get appearances and interviews from the Pres and his closest aids,much like how Bush and Cheney gave Fox much more access than any other network.It's just wise business,and a sense of the change in the country's viewership tastes.Fox has slipped in the ratings,that's not coincidance.You live by an administration,you die by an administration.
