Did Karl Rove ever meet with CBS or MSNBC Executives?
That question came to mind when I read in Politico that:
White House senior adviser David Axelrod met with Fox News chairman and chief executive officer Roger Ailes two weeks ago . . . over coffee while the president was in [New York].
Apparently, the Obama aide was upset with the network’s “heavy coverage of Obama critics by opinion shows.” Wonder if Karl Rove so expressed his concern about the heavy coverage of Bush critics on the aforementioned networks. Not to mention in such newspapers as the New York Times, Los Angeles Times and Washington Post.
Did Rove meet with their editors or publishers to complain about their coverage?

What a joke. 3 major networks are all-Obama-love, all the time. And that’s not enough for the White House? Where’s their commitment to diversity (of viewpoint), fair and balanced news coverage, and all that?

Axelrod: “Nice network you have there. It’d be a shame if anything happened to it.”

There’s a channel without Big Brother on constantly?

Axelrod met with the exec in New York. . .but we will probably never know who Rove met with in the WH due to that little thing of the WH guest list being kept private.

rusty, do you honestly believe if such a conversation went on between Karl Rove and CNN, that CNN wouldn’t be yelling it from the mountain tops?
