Petitions to deny FoxNews the Helen Thomas seat in the Briefing Room
By: metulj  shortURL

Liberal groups are trying to keep FoxNews out of the the front row seat that Thomas occupied.

OK. This is stupid. Three groups are vying for the seat. Think about it. These folks are so divorced from reality that they are making issue about a seat in a room where the people who work there think that what they do is the most important job in American journalism. It is not. Ever watch a whole WH Press Briefing (The Gaggle)? What a bunch of BS. Insipid question followed by ridiculous assertion with a question mark at the end.

The solution is simple. Which news group has the longest tenure in the WH press corps? Fox, NPR, or Bloomberg? It's NPR. Give it to them and get over it.

Now back in Afghanistan and the Gulf.

The White House Press briefings are getting quite irrelevant to viewers, those interested in the news. I like your solution, though, NPR it is.

That is dumb, thus it gets D.C. media attention.

Why have reserved seating at all? Mix it up.

FOX denied, FT joins the club, Politico moves up a row, AP is the new gold standard. Should have been NPR.
