The White House Correspondents Association voted unanimously Sunday afternoon to move Fox News to the front row of the White House briefing room . . .

Fox News to move to Thomas' front-row briefing room seat - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room

Ok, Voegelin, let's have it... how are you going to pretend this is significant beyond your personal Obama obsession?

Obviously this is some type of conspiracy by the Obama administration to destroy Fox News.

Fox news moves to front row in a Liberal administration?
And this is not significant?

I wonder if its like the teacher moving the troublesome child to the front of the class?

Question to those who oppose Foxnews, why put an overly bias news source in the front row?
Maybe they moved them forward, because Fox has one of the biggest followings compared to other news sources?

According to the article, "The seating change was prompted by the resignation of veteran UPI reporter Helen Thomas."

Thomas had the front row seat, which is now vacant. Perhaps the FoxNews reporter is just really short?

I dunno if the article has been edited since you posted it, but Fox news is not moving to Thomas' old seat. AP is moving to Thomas' center-front seat, and Fox is moving to AP's old seat.

And anyway.. isn't Fox always bragging about how they're the most popular news source etc (while simultaneously not being part of the mainstream media of course)? The most popular source having a seat on the front row strikes me as quite normal. The administration had nothing to do with it. Fox's fellow journalists just gave the spot to the the most "deserving" party.

Well, bully for them.

Yes, it is the White House Correspondent's Association that assigns the seats in the Press Room. The Association said, "The board received requests from Bloomberg and NPR in addition to Fox for relocation to the front row and felt all three made compelling cases. But the board ultimately was persuaded by Fox's length of service and commitment to the White House television pool."

Surely the white house has phone books.
