From CNN to Fox, Ed Henry's Treatment by democrats

By Douglas V. Gibbs

The liberal democrats play preference politics. They divide the nation into groups, and gain votes by promising the groups preferential treatment. They demonize corporations, but give bail outs and special breaks to the corporations they wish to give preferential treatment to (for political reasons, of course). And the liberal democrats give preferential treatment to the biased leftist media, while acting hostile towards any news agency that isn't hard left, such as Fox News.

A former CNN correspondent, who has since moved to Fox News, has learned the truth the hard way.

Ed Henry, since moving to Fox News and becoming their chief White House correspondent, has been receiving unsavory treatment by the democrats.

The Left will tell you that is because of Fox's rightwing bias.

I am here to tell you that Fox News, though they have a number of conservative opinion hosts, is hardly on the right.

Ed Henry has come to agree with that, saying in a recent interview, that he now dismisses the notion that Fox News has a conservative bias.

"I know what people say about Fox and about what they say is a tilt to the right," Henry said. "Meanwhile, the reporters I know, like Bret Baier, are right down the middle and are tough on everybody."

The leftist media has been accusing Henry of changing since joining Fox, but he denies the notion, saying in reality that though he hasn't changed, the treatment he receives has.

"I asked tough questions of the Obama White House when I was at CNN and nobody freaked out," he said. "I start asking tough questions at Fox and everybody freaked
out."

In fact, Henry has also denied the rumors that the management feeds him his questions or talking points, saying, "My first day at Fox, President Obama gave a primetime address to the nation. That would have been a great chance for Roger Ailes or someone to say, 'Hey, Ed, there is going to be a lot of people watching tonight, maybe you should hit Obama on this or that.' I didn't get a phone call from anyone. I didn't get an email from anyone. But what I did get was, we want you to be front and center tonight. I was on with Bret Baier, not Sean Hannity or some of the opinion anchors we have."

In July, on his third official day with Fox News, Henry pressed Carney on the president's debt reduction plan, asking if the administration planned to file a compromise proposal--the offer briefly accepted by Speaker of the House John Boehner--with the Congressional Budget Office.

"Look, I know you're creating a thing here for Fox," Carney shot back.

"That's not what I'm doing," Henry responded. "And you know better than that."

Hence, the vitriol the Left feels about anyone who dares question them, or even seems to oppose them.
