Attacking the news media is a time-honored White House tactic but to an unusual degree, the Obama administration has narrowed its sights to one specific organization, the Fox News Channel, calling it, in essence, part of the political opposition.
“[b]We’re going to treat them the way we would treat an opponent[/b],” said Anita Dunn, the White House communications director, in a telephone interview on Sunday. “As [b]they are undertaking a war against Barack Obama and the White House, we don’t need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organizations behave[/b].”
In 2009, the White House's position on Fox News was that it was "an opponent," at "war(!)" with the White House. And that they were not, in fact, a legitimate news organization.
They were to be treated as fake news. It was White House policy.
