More bad news for Fox News ... sort of.
Oct. 28, 2009 12:43 PM. This just in from Speaker of the House Pelosi.
In an interview with MSNBC's Keith Olberman last night, Nancy Pelosi announced that she would move to bring a vote to the floor of The House of Representatives as early as next week to ban Fox from covering Congress. "That Fox regularly grants access to Republican Congressman to spread their lies and propaganda on their airwaves is a violation of the public trust, and their continued desire to challenge such well documented facts as Global Warming, and the efficacy of single payer health insurance, proves that they are simply doing the work of the special interests. They should thus be stripped of their journalistic access in the halls of Congress," argued Pelosi.

Responding to rumors that Fox News will be cut from the annual White House Turkey pardoning ceremony press pool, White House Press Secretary confirmed the story in an exclusive with The Huffington Post. "Look, turkeys and Foxes just don't get along, and for the sake of the freed birds, we thought it best not to include a news organization with the word Fox in it," noted Gibbs. "On a more serious note, allowing Fox to join the press pool even for something so frivolous as the turkey pardon confers a certain legitimacy to what we all know is an illegitimate news organization," added Gibbs.
