Today, Mr. President, the White House made your wall-street czar Kenneth Feinberg available to the White House Press Pool for an exclusive interview, with one caveat; Fox News would not be allowed to attend.
As you now know, the other four networks in the pool refused to attend as long as Fox News was barred from participation and your people had to back down. Fox News attended and the press conference went on.
Are you as proud of the united stand taken by American journalists as I am? Have you and your hounds now gotten the message - loud and clear - that the White House has no business trying to intimidate the press with your shabby end-run around the 1st Amendment?
What say you, Mr. President?
