What’s that saying; “don’t mess with a man who buys ink by the barrel”? I still believe the White House war on Fox, and now the Cheney/Obama dustup over Afghanistan are both diversions to keep us from looking at what is really going on with the FCC and healthcare reform, (and God knows what else), but something has to be said for the courage of the Washington bureau chiefs that told the WH to stick it when Bambi’s juvenile crew tried to keep Fox from interviews with the “pay czar”.
Barry, better luck next time with your Saul Alinsky tactic of polarization of your enemy, and just for the record, the rest of us are not as compliant as the Congress.

Readers are wondering who the bureau chiefs are. I will updated this list as I find the info. I am putting this info up with the disclaimer that I am not totally certain the bureau chiefs listed by Newswatch.org are current as they still had Tim Russert listed instead of Mark Whitaker. On the other hand, Newswatch’s page has every phone number and email you could possible want to find out who you want to send thank you notes to.

Not so sure they are standing behind Fox, as much as they are concerned they may be next. These were the pool reporters. But, good to see, nonetheless.

Congradulations to the Washington Chiefs’. I am glad they took a strong stand. Even if you don’t agree with people you should back the concept of Free Speech. Way to go!

I want to thank the Washington Bureau of Chiefs for their stand.. How can I contact them to say thanks. Finally, somebody is standing up to this administration.
