SilentPatriot, Crooks and Liars: This just in from the Department of the Obvious: Scott McClellan admits to Chris Matthews that the White House made a deliberate effort to use FOX News commentators like Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly to disseminate White House talking points. [Click the pic for the vid.]Matthews: “Did you see FOX television as a tool when you were in the White House? As a useful avenue to get your message out?”McClellan: “I make a distinction between the journalists and the commentators. Certainly there were commentators and other, pundits at FOX News, that were useful to the White House.” […] That was something we at the White House, yes, were doing, getting them talkng points and making sure they knew where we were coming from.Matthews: “So you were using these commentators as your spokespeople.”McClellan: “Well, certainly.”
Straight from the source. Enough with the “fair and balanced” crap already.
