Is there nothing that the White House will keep their mitts off of?
I swear, these guys try to bully everybody. When people start to bully back, they're going to wish they tread a bit more lightly.
The White House pressured CNN to fire former military analyst Gen. Wesley Clark (search), the retired Army chief told a Phoenix radio station on Monday."The White House actually back in February apparently tried to get me knocked off CNN and they wanted to do this because they were afraid that I would raise issues with their conduct of the war," Clark told Newsradio 620 KTAR. "Apparently they called CNN. I don't have all the proof on this because they didn't call me. I've only heard rumors about it."
CNN had no immediate comment on the general's allegations. White House officials told Fox News that they are "adamant" that they "never tried to get Wesley Clark kicked off the air in any way, shape or form." Beyond that, the White House "won't respond to rumors."

How can we tell if it's true? Fox Infotainment could be spreading a propaganda rumor for the Shrubnistas, for all we know...
Isn't it sad that my first reaction to hearing this news from Faux is to question it?

This administration's sleaziness is rapidly approaching Nixonian levels. I've often wondered: if Nixon had a Fox "News" to shill for him, would he have been forced to resign?
