White House: Fox Is 'Not Really News'

The White House continued its scuffle with Fox News today, with Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace complaining on-air that the administration dissed its request for an interview, while top aides took to competing networks to denounce it. It's "not really news," David Axelrod told This Week. The network "has a perspective," Rahm Emanuel told CNN's State of the Union, and is not a "legitimate news organization."

• Emanuel squarely took aim at Wall Street's finest, slamming execs for taking government bailouts then opposing reforms meant to prevent another meltdown. "The American people have a right to be frustrated and angry," he said.
• President Obama wants to see a public option, but "he is not demanding that it is in there," Valerie Jarrett said on Meet the Press.
• Sen. John Cornyn said on Face the Nation that in belaboring his decision on Afghanistan, Obama is "emboldening our enemies." Added the Texas Republican: "At some point deliberation begins to look more like indecisiveness."
