W.H. denies Drudge report
In another sign of detente between Fox and the White House, Major Garrett has landed an interview with President Obama, according to the Drudge Report. It will take place next week in China.
Drudge wrote: "Obama Grants FOXNEWS Interview, DRUDGE has learned; Major Garrett will conduct interview in China next week ..."
That would be quite a reversal from the war of words between the Obama administration and Fox just a few weeks ago.
UPDATE: A White House official tells POLITICO that the report is "not accurate." "We've not committed to doing any presidential interviews during the trip to Asia with any outlets at this point," the official said.
I've reached out to Fox for comment and will update when I hear back.
UPDATE 11/17: It looks like Fox will interview Obama after all. Drudge reported last week that Fox would get a sit-down on the Asia trip, but the White House quickly pushed back that nothing was confirmed. Now, Garrett writes on Twitter (via TVNewser): "I will interview POTUS on camera Wed am here in Beijing. 4 other networks will too. 10 mins per. Many had asked. Can say now."
-------------------------------------------------------------
they can't even be honest about a pending interview
WTF are they thinking? do they actually think? did they have to clear this and explain this to their left wing fringe before they went public?
too funny
