questions the sincerity of Dobbs' "resignation," wondering if Dobbs is being forced out by the left-tilting network.  NB also reports there are rumors that Dobbs may be headed over to Fox News...

Speaking of Fox: In another media news item this evening, Drudge is reporting that President Obama has agreed to a sit-down interview with Fox News White House correspondent Major Garrett.  The interview will reportedly take place during the president's trip to China next week.

Anita Dunn insisted that the president would appear on Fox, but only "because he engages with ideological opponents. He has done that before and he will do it again... when he goes on Fox he understands he is not going on it as a news network at this point. He is going on it to debate the opposition." 

So is the president thirsty for a good debate?  Or does the White House wish to retract its accusations about Fox being "either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party"?
