WASHINGTON POLITICS AND WASHINGTON JOURNALISM REACH A CRUCIAL DETENTE: “A very reliable source tells FishbowlDC that Fox News SVP Michael Clemente met with White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs this morning and reached what some are calling a ‘truce.’” Nobel Peace Prizes, all. [Fishbowl DC]

Hope Gibbs plants the truce flag right between Beck or Hannity’s eyes!

(In Fox mode) How dare NObama make a truce! This is appeasement, just like Neville Chamberlain! Doesn’t he realize that Fox is the greatest threat to the world since Hitler/The Soviet Union?

Friends at Fox, it is
unfortunate that our tone has not been
civil. We will try in the future to
keep ourselves in check. We will respect
your diligent reporting and
outstanding efforts to
uphold the standards of journalistic integrity.

Love,
Gibbsy

“Clemente then met with the Fox Washington bureau and encouraged staff to remain “fair and balanced.” ”

In other words, it was a total waste of Gibbs time.

Then Obama ordered all those admin officials who were returned after the prisoner exchange straight to FEMA reeducation camps.

The deal cut: Gibbs will back off if Fox agrees to up the dosage of Glenn Beck’s selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

“SVP”? Is that some kind of venereal disease?

A truce. A truce would be the only anchor left on FUX would be Shep Smith. And like MSNBC, they would have to turn over 3 hours of prime time in the AM to a librul ex-house member, and hire Alan Grayson to be a “political analyst”.

Truce? Whiskey tango foxtrot? I thought shitting on Barry was a ratings bonanza? Now Fox is blinking? Doesn’t make sense. WHERE IS THE CONSISTENCY???

One thing is certain. As night follows day, Chip Reid will be apoplectic. It’s nature’s plan.

Why do they want a truce? Everyone was making hay out of this non-news event. It was quintessential American media bullshit… and now they want it to be over?

Uncle Glenny October 29, 2009 at 10:59 am

And Chuck Todd will say something profound.

That’s how you bomb people to the negotiating table. Mark one up for Chicago Politics. I hope Cheney will be in for his own session soon.

” . . . what some are calling a ‘truce.’” ?

And who might these “some” be? “Some” have called G. W. Bush a great president. It’s a grave injustice if this item doesn’t take today’s Blowing Smoke Up One’s Own Hindquarters Award.

This is a victory for assfuckers everywhere. Rejoice in our heyday of inconsequential, unending media assfuckery. HUZZAH.

So who gets to tell the happy cheering crowd that peace for our time has been attained?

AnSnarkist October 29, 2009 at 11:08 am

It’s a trap Fox News! Don’t go to the peace conference!

AggieDemocrat October 29, 2009 at 11:10 am

This is good news for John McCain.

gurukalehuru October 29, 2009 at 11:25 am

I’ll believe it when I hear them saying nice things about Barry, and reporting on stories like South Carolina attorneys general caught in cemeteries with 18 year old hookers without accidentally putting a D in front of their names.
Until then, fuck Fox.

BlueStateLibtard October 29, 2009 at 11:43 am

Obama is just dithering. He should just carpet-bomb Fox News Headquarters and get it over with.

SayItWithWookies October 29, 2009 at 11:45 am

So Fox is now palling around with socialists? They should drag their sorry asses back to France where they’ll like it.

Lascauxcaveman October 29, 2009 at 11:48 am

A truce? Uh oh. This isn’t looking good for Gibbs’ chance at a Nobel Sarcasm Award.

sati demise October 29, 2009 at 12:13 pm

Lets see if they still use ‘communist’ ‘socialist’ Muslin’ ‘marxist’ ‘hitler’ ‘totalitarian’ ‘stalin’ ‘mussolini’ in describing the POTUS.

Just one time, and the truce is ovah, suckers!

“Car Ramrod says at 10:47 am, October 29th, 2009″

Excellent post.

With my short attention span naturally I didn’t make it past the first letter of each line…
