In the Bible, the word "fox" is associated with King Herod, who was a homicidal maniac

The media pundits and Washington insiders--a.k.a. the "village"--are having a fainting spell over the Obama administration's calling out of Fox news, but, then, they always do whenever a Democratic administration does or says anything, even when it says what everybody already knows--especially then, it seems.

Fox news is a party organ.  Fine.  There have been many party organs like Fox throughout American history.  Thomas Jefferson had his newspaper, The National Intelligencer, and the Federalist Party had theirs.  Said one:  The election of Jefferson would bring the "teaching of murder robbery, rape, adultery and incest".

When David Axelrod says that Fox represents a "point of view," or Raum Emanuel says that Fox represents a "perspective," they are stating a plain fact, and one which Fox news itself admits:  "We are the opposition," says Fox vice president Bill Shein.

That being the case, what sense does it make for the Obama administration to help them?

It's sometimes said of the Liberal Party in Australia, which has a passing resemblance to the Republicans, that they consider they are born to rule. What always strikes me is the petulance and resentment when things don't go their way! It's like spoiled kids in the sandpit. What I see of Fox from this distance is exactly the same.

Conservatives seems to have a heirarchical mindset. As long as the Top Dog expresses their values, they're relatively happy--or at least as happy as they ever get.
