I mean, for instance, they essentially claim that Democratic administrations did the same thing, suggesting that the Obama administration intentionally barred Fox News from participating in a round of interviews during his administration.
podcast-host
I happened to be part of the Obama communications team at the time.
podcast-host
And I lived through this.
podcast-host
So let me just take the liberty of debunking this particular myth.
podcast-host
And I will keep doing this as long as they keep throwing out absolute BS explanations.
podcast-host
And bear with me because this is a bit weedy and has nothing at all to do with the press's access to the President of the United States or access to the White House itself.

But back in 2009, the Treasury Department did not include Fox News on a list of outlets that would be interviewing one of their officials on one particular day, in part because Fox News had not requested an interview anyway.
podcast-host
But when Fox News complained that they had been left off the list and the other networks backed them up, the Obama White House immediately granted Fox News an interview.
podcast-host
Now, is that a reflection of everyone in the Obama White House loving Fox News, wanting to sing Kumbaya together and loving all their coverage?
podcast-host

podcast-host

podcast-host
I mean, that is the point, actually.
podcast-host

podcast-host
That's how it played out.
podcast-host
Again, I told you, little weedy.
podcast-host
Fox was left off the list of an interview with a Treasury Department official.
podcast-host
The other networks pointed it out and the Obama administration added them to the list.
podcast-host
That is in no way close to what Trump did on Friday when he intentionally and deliberately banned three media outlets from accessing the White House, revoking their press passes.
podcast-host
Don't take my word for it.
