| Does Fox News attend any press conferences? (Posted on 1/17/13 at 2:12 pm)
I keep hearing Fox pundits saying that the MSM fails to ask the President any questions at his pressers.
Why doesn't Fox send a reporter to a conference, and ask a question?

Ed Henry attends but isn't usually called on. Funny enough Major Garrett with CBS (formerly FOX) gets called on alot

From what I understand the President chooses which reporters get to ask questions.

From what I understand the President chooses which reporters get to ask questions the White House Staff suggested.

They do, there was some controversy recently because they were granted a front row seat. The problem is the president doesn't call on their correspondents because he dislikes anyone challenging him.

Are you genuinely stupid enough to believe that they don't? I don't care for Fox but they always have reporters there.

With this administration, not only are the reporters picked, but often the questions. Of course, Obama only takes questions about twice a year.

That nutty woman who use to badger Reagan is gone. I wish she was still there. She might flip out at any time and really ask Obama a zinger. Nobody else will or can.
