Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M. and the guys at GetSatisfaction.com where they have "community powered support for Technorati".

Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.

Wankers.

Valerie Jarrett reveals the true agenda behind the Fox News vendetta

Obama hack Valerie Jarrett went on CNN this evening to reiterate the standard White House talking points regarding Fox News. Except this time the interviewer appeared to deviate from the pre-authorized script. Campbell Brown asked a follow-up question that perhaps revealed the true agenda behind Obama's vendetta against Fox News. (h/t Memeorandum)

Speaking at the Women's Conference in California, White House Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett said the Obama administration is "calling everybody out" when it comes to "patterns of distortion" - echoing the Democratic National Committee's "Call 'em Out" campaign that targets critics of the president's health care plan.

To the question of whether Fox News is biased, Jarrett replied: "Well, of course they're biased. Of course they are."

But when Brown followed up by asking Jarrett if she thinks MSNBC is biased, she quickly downplayed her original remark. "Actually, I don't want to generalize all of Fox is biased or that another station is biased. I think what we want to do is look at it on a case-by-case basis," she said.

"We're actually calling everybody out. So this isn't anything that's simply directed at Fox. We just want the American people to have a really clear understanding," said Jarrett.

AllahPundit calls it a "backtrack" but I'm not so certain. Sure she equivocated as to whether or not Fox is "biased", but she didn't actually retract the statement. What she did do is openly articulate a strategy that some pundits have surmised was the actual point of the attacks on Fox.

Consider Jarrett's response:

"What we want to do is look at it on a case-by-case basis."

"We're actually calling everybody out. So this isn't anything that's simply directed at Fox."

Indeed. Valerie Jarrett put Campbell Brown and CNN on notice. Play ball our way or we'll turn on you too. I suspect that all the other networks got the message. If they want to keep being included in those 2½ hour lunches with The One they'd better remember who's the boss.

This warning shot was fired in response to last week's attempt by the White House to bar Fox News from participating in the press pool. That time the other networks stepped up and said if Fox was banned none then of them would attend. I'm sure that more than a few of Obama's flunkies needed to hit the Maalox after that episode.

And now, just coincidentally, we have one of Obama's chief flunkies reminding the networks that he's "calling everybody out". In other words, don't pull that "Fox is one of us" crap any more. Or, you'll find yourselves out in the wilderness right alongside them.
