Has the White House Surrendered to Fox News?

Don Surber seems to think so and points to an AP article that starts like this:
White House advisers pledged on Sunday to book administration officials on Fox News despite claims by the president’s inner circle that the cable network is a GOP mouthpiece whose programming “is geared toward making money.”
Note how a company "geared toward making money" is now considered evil.

Just this morning on the Sunday shows various Obama inner circle-types were declaring that Fox was not a real news organization, you know like CNN and MSNBC, because Fox has some opinion programming. Really stupid.

The New York Times had already declared Fox the winner, and it looks like the White House is finally realizing how petty and small they look. We'll see if they actually follow through with booking their people on Fox shows.

UPDATE: I just noticed this poll on AOL. Looks like the AOL readers don't agree with the White House assessment of Fox.

The funny bit is this poll data:
The Obama administration is criticizing FOX News Channel for its coverage of the administration. If the disagreement between the Obama administration and FOX News Channel continues, who do you think will come out on top?

Administration 39%

Fox News 43%


Only a four point spread??
This is the polling from Fox, itself.

You know that lampshade that dog's wear when they have had surgery or the like to keep their head from reaching the rest of their body? That is what I feel the adm is wearing; don't see, can't touch, not there.
