It's good to see the media as a whole stand up to Obama's statist, and divisive attacks on one group in the media. It's a sad state and embarrassing as a nation, that we have a president who thinks a war with a news organization is a top priority....



What say you?

It's not a top priority, just an issue Obama is trying to address. Too bad he didn't succeed.

I'm maybe a little surprised that the media had enough backbone and resolve to stand firm like that.

Personally, I don't think the President should have much a say in what press comes. I know there has to be regulation somewhere due to size restrictions and other reasonable things. But the press needs to be able to ask any set of question they want. They should question relentlessly and demand detail as they are the tool the People use to gauge the actions and responses of government. We need an active, independent, strong press so that we can better control the government. If a press agent asks a tough question that could possibly embarrass and administration...good. They shouldn't be barred from coming back, and their news agency shouldn't be excluded from future press releases. Just the way it is, or rather should be.

Some people wanted to say that Obama wasn't in a war with Fox News, but he clearly is. And this move by him was rather disgusting. There's no defense of it.

Seems like the press exercised their freedom.

They exercised CYA.... Cause they know once you open a door, it is hard to shut. the Press showed some rare integrity here and I applaude them,even the liberal ones.

I was a little shocked they had the backbone.

While I credit them, I think there's some self-preservation at work.

If they don't stand up to this, what happens the first time they criticize Obama or support a rival Democrat? Are they thrown to the dungeon with Fox?

And what if conservatives are in charge of everything by 2012 (which is looking more likely by the minute), do they ALL get cast into that dungeon since it will then have precedent?

This was a career(s) decision, first and foremost.
