This is a win for freedom of the press and a blow to the anti-democratic forces in the White House.
What are your feelings on this issue.
The Obama administration on Thursday tried to make "pay czar" Kenneth Feinberg available for interviews to every member of the White House pool except Fox News. But the Washington bureau chiefs of the five TV networks decided that none of their reporters would interview Feinberg unless Fox News was included.
What is NowPublic?

I congratulate the solidarity of the press. They sided with Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press. How arrogant of the White House.

This was a very important turning point in the U.S.

The press decided to side with history, and remain free.
They also stuck their finger in Obama's eye. That will hurt for a while. Obama's effort to discredit FOX was given 5 thumbs down. Hope he learns from this.
Hurray for them i say, Hurray for FOX, ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN! (never thought i would say that)
