Kudos To ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC

Not found in the Roanoke Times (for obvious reasons)

Obama made his Pay-Czar available to the White House Press Pool but excluded the FOX representative.
-
Fortunately ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC refused to participate without FOX!
(Very unlikely position if Roanoke Times Editors were involved!)
-
Then Obama limited his Czar to a 2-minute interview instead of 5.
-
Exactly how small and petty is this Community Organizer?
Or is this just another Example of The Obama Pravdazation of Our Media!

Unprecedented: White House Tries to Ban Fox from Press Pool
Today the White House stepped up its attack on Fox News, announcing that the network would no longer be able to conduct interviews with officials as a member of the Press Pool. The Pool is a five-member group consisting of ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News and NBC organized by the White House Correspondents Association. Its membership is not subject to oversight by the government.-Before an interview with "Pay Czar" Kenneth Feinberg, the administration announced that Fox News would be banned from the press pool. This marks the first time in history that an administration had attempted to ban an entire network from the press pool.-To their credit, the other networks objected. They told the White House that if Fox were banned, none of the other networks would participate. The White House relented, but in an apparent act of petulant retaliation, it restricted each network to a two-minute interview instead of the standard five.
