Former Bush adviser and current Fox News contributor Karl Rove weighed in again last night on the White House’s war with Fox News, calling President Obama’s press secretary a “bully.”
This is a bully. Robert Gibbs is a bully standing behind the podium at the White House trying to discipline the White House press corps into being submissive.
And much like former Bush Press Secretary Dana Perino did yesterday, Rove suggested that the Bush team was held to a different standard than the Obama administration.
“Imagine what would have happened if President Bush would have said, ‘You know what, I’m gonna call NBC not a news organization because MSNBC has some ugly left-wing opinion programming.’ People would go nuts.”
And:
What would happen if someone said, ‘Y’know what, the people who are working for The New York Times are not journalists because on the opinion page of The New York Times there are very liberal journalists and very liberal editorials.’ People would be up in arms.
Here’s the video.
