Out Foxed

.
Well, I’m liking Barack Obama more every day. Yesterday, he called for the complete pull-out of troops from Iraq by early 2008 and now I see this:

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.

Let’s be clear that this wasn’t just a “screw-up”, major or otherwise. If it had been, and not part of a long standing anti-Democrat smear campaign, I’d say Obama was being petty. Truth is, that’s the kind of stuff they do day-in and day-out. Their core audience loves it and won’t stand for anything less. Why would they when they could get real news (more or less) a million other places?

I’ve long wondered why any Democrat would give Fox News any of their time. Why legitimize them? They aren’t really a news organization, why pretend they are? And to their own detriment, no less.
