One day after Tony Snow of FOX News was announced as the president's new press secretary, White House correspondents — led by Jim Vandehei of The Washington Post — demanded that the TVs in the press compartment of Air Force One be changed from FOX News to CNN.I always thought the press were more the Soap Opera Channel type.
At a briefing with outgoing spokesman Scott McClellan, one reporter insisted, "There's been requests ... to turn these TVs onto a station other than Fox, and ... those have been denied." One wondered, "Is there a White House policy that all government TVs have to be tuned to FOX?"
And one insisted, "[I'm] officially complaining about it."
McClellan denied any such policy, and said the matter had never been brought to his attention before. But a short time later, he announced the change had been made.
Michelle Malkin has more.
