Apparently, Obama is shunning Fox News reporters. Now why would anyone in the reality-based community want to do that? Short answer: Fox News spread bald-faced lies about the Democratic Senator.
The Sleuth tells us:
Sources tell The Sleuth that the Obama camp has "frozen out" Fox News reporters and producers in the wake of the network's major screw-up in running with the erroneous Obama-the-jihadist story reported by Insight magazine.
Recall that Obama's staff responded immediately and directly to the swiftboating tactics of Fox:
If Doocy or the staff at Fox and Friends had taken to check their facts, or simply made a call to his office, they would have learned that Senator Obama was not educated in a Madrassa, was not raised as a Muslim, and was not raised by his father – an atheist Obama met once in his life before he died.
But now, Obama is taking the response to a new level, and we like it.
Why don't all Democrats shun Faux News and thus avoid being filtered through the Bush/Cheney mouthpiece?
Back in the day, Eleanor Roosevelt took on a little media behavior modification project when she talked only to female reporters. Obviously, in those good old conservative days, to be a woman and a reporter meant you covered the children and food beat. Decades later second-wave feminists followed the progressive First Lady's example.
Just imagine what might happen if Dems took a lesson from Eleanor Roosevelt and talked only to media outlets that behave in a reasonably honest and professional manner.
Obama is definitely showing some serious progressive leadership potential.
