Fox News just can't catch a break.

President-elect Obama has now held five press conferences since winning the election. Fox News reporters have not been called on to ask a single question.

I say "yes" in hopes that he can deliver a well-crafted and eminently reasonable, "Y'all can go fuck yourselves" response, right in front of the entire press corps in a more direct manner than he's already begun doing with his cabinet appointments (for the rationale of the "Fuck You Appointments", I refer you to The Rude Pundit; either via rss here on LJ, or at rudepundit.blogspot.com).

I think I'm torn on the issue, but do not want him percieved as avoiding any questions - he did say that he would listen to everybody. But on the other hand, it's Fox.

Exactly. They hit him (& his wife) with so many low blows during the campaign, I can understand why he might want to return the insult to them now. But on the other hand, I don't want our President to be petty.

Part of me wants him to rise above Fox, part of me want him to go "Sod off! Pfffffffffffft!!"

[angledge.livejournal.com]

This is exactly my dilemma. Another issue (at least in my mind) is that Fox News is not a legitimate news organization.

[lovellama.livejournal.com]

Yeah, isn't the news supposed to be unbiased? @@

[etcet.livejournal.com]

Or at least offer several biases in rapid succession, not the same one over and over and over... *cough*

Oh, come on. Surely you don't think that 'terrorist fist-bump' brouhaha meant they're anything less than impartial, do you?

That was just the liberal media making a big deal out of nothing.

My personal preference would be No, simply because I see no reason why they shouldn't be treated as a news network.

He won't take their questions because he's afraid of being revealed as a mooslim terrist.
