"Obama’s anger at Fox News was justified. In January 2007, Fox & Friends made the false claim that Obama had attended an Islamic school in Indonesia. Two months later, a Democratic debate that was to have been hosted by Fox News was cancelled after the network’s chairman, Roger Ailes, deliberately confused Obama’s name with that of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, telling media executives in a speech, “It’s true that Barack Obama is on the move.”

Once he became president, Obama decided he had had enough, much as Trump has with CNN. Six months into his presidency, Obama gave an interview to CNBC’s John Harwood. During their conversation, Harwood observed that Obama remained the recipient of largely favorable media coverage.

Not so, Obama countered. “I've got one television station entirely devoted to attacking my administration.”

“I assume you're talking about Fox,” Harwood said.

He was. Obama had in mind segments like the one in which Fox News commentator Sean Hannity mused, “Is President Obama disloyal? One White House aide says, ‘Yes.’ We have the shocking details.” About three weeks after the Harwood interview ran, an op-ed published on the Fox News website called the economy “Obama’s Katrina,” a reference to George W. Bush’s inept handling of the devastation that followed the 2005 hurricane that pummeled the Gulf Coast.

“Obama will get the blame for his slow response to the current recession,” that article said. To the contrary, Obama has been praised for rescuing the economy and bringing the jobless rate down to historic lows."

Be careful rumors, predictions, lying shills.

"Van Jones, the Oakland activist and environmentalist who became President Obama's green jobs advisor, has got a new problem - and this one looks kind of serious. Conservative bloggers have unearthed a 2004 petition that Jones signed, demanding an official investigation into the US government's alleged complicity in the September 11 terrorist attacks. The White House immediately put out a statement from Jones, denying that he's a 9-11 Truther, and implying that he hadn't read the petition before signing it.

Jones had already been attacked relentlessly by right-wingers in recent weeks for a 2005 comment he made to the Express in which he said he considered himself a "communist" for a time immediately after the Rodney King verdicts. And then earlier this week, the right-wing media jumped on a public statement that Jones made last year, before joining Obama, in which he called Republicans "assholes." Jones, who also called himself an "asshole" in the same statement, apologized for the name calling. While the asshole statement and his off-hand comment to the Express a few years ago could be easily laughed off, signing on with the 9-11 conspiracy theorists is a whole different deal. "

"According to The New York Times: “Fox’s television news competitors refused to go along with a Treasury Department effort on Thursday [October 22, 2009] to exclude Fox from a round of interviews with the executive-pay czar Kenneth R. Feinberg that was to be conducted with a ‘pool’ camera crew…”. Fox News Channel’s James Rosen reported this backlash forced the Obama administration to reconsider its position on the matter: “The Washington bureau chiefs of the five TV news network consulted and decided that none of them would interview Feinberg unless Fox was included, and the administration relented…,” reported Rosen. Ultimately, after other media representatives objected, Fox News Channel was allowed to participate in the interviews.

The Treasury Department’s official response, as detailed in back-and-forth emails uncovered by Judicial Watch, included a clear denial of any such plot to exclude Fox News from the interviews:

“There was no plot to exclude Fox News, and they had the same interview that their competitors did. Much ado about absolutely nothing.”

Moreover, in an October 23, 2009 email to New York Times reporter Jim Rutenberg, Jake Siewart, Counselor to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, repeated the denial that there was an effort to exclude Fox News Channel: “Call me today on your Fox-Treasury report,” Siewart wrote. “Not true that there was an ‘effort to exclude’ Fox.”

However, despite this public position, internal Obama administration emails obtained by Judicial Watch provide evidence that FNC was specifically singled out for exclusion. According to one October 22, 2009, email exchange between Dag Vega, Director of Broadcast Media on the White House staff, to Jenni LeCompte, then-Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs in the Treasury Department, Vega informs LeCompte that “…we’d prefer if you skip Fox please.”

Regarding general anti-FNC bias within the Obama White House in an October 23, 2009, email exchange between Jennifer Psaki, Deputy White House Communications Director and LeCompte, Psaki writes, “I am putting some dead fish in the fox cubby – just cause”. In an email on the night of October 22, 2009, commenting on a report by Fox News Channel anchor Bret Baier noting the exclusion of the network from the pool, Psaki writes to Compte and fellow White House colleagues, “…brett baier just did a stupid piece on it — but he is a lunatic”.

Deputy White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest bluntly described the White House’s position on Fox News Channel in an October 23, 2009, email to LeCompte:

“We’ve demonstrated our willingness and ability to exclude Fox News from significant interviews…”

The Treasury Department blacked out a key email regarding its refusal to make available Treasury Secretary Geithner for an interview on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace.

“The Obama administration seems to have lied about its attempt to exclude Fox News Channel from access to an interview with the ‘pay czar.’ These documents show there is a pervasive anti-Fox bias in the Obama White House,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The juvenile Mafioso-talk in these emails has no place in any White House. For the Obama administration to purposely exclude a major news organization from access to information has troubling First Amendment implications.”

"The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007

Legislative history

Bill citation S. 1348

Bill published on May 9, 2007

Introduced by Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV)

The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007 (full name: Secure Borders, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Reform Act of 2007 (S. 1348)) was a bill discussed in the 110th United States Congress that would have provided legal status and a path to citizenship for the approximately 12 million undocumented immigrants residing in the United States. The bill was portrayed as a compromise between providing a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants and increased border enforcement: it included funding for 300 miles (480 km) of vehicle barriers, 105 camera and radar towers, and 20,000 more Border Patrol agents, while simultaneously restructuring visa criteria around high-skilled workers. The bill also received heated criticism from both sides of the immigration debate. The bill was introduced in the United States Senate on May 9, 2007, but was never voted on, though a series of votes on amendments and cloture took place. The last vote on cloture, on June 7, 2007, 11:59 AM, failed 34–61 effectively ending the bill's chances. A related bill S. 1639, on June 28, 2007, 11:04 AM, also failed 46–53."
