By Yael T. Abouhalkah, Kansas City Star Editorial Page columnist
President Barack Obama's war with Fox News moved ahead on several fronts late this week. And our prickly president continues to be on the losing side.
In one move, Obama's aides Thursday tried to freeze out Fox News from interviewing the administration's "pay czar," Kenneth Feinberg.
But the other media refused to participate unless Fox News could take part. Good for them. And, the interview went on.
Obama's attempt to freeze out a single media outlet he disagrees with failed, and rightly so.
In addition, advertisers could be the latest to find themselves being pressured by Obama's feud with Fox News.
Essentially, the President of the United States is boycotting the TV station. So, why shouldn't advertisers follow the president's lead -- especially if they want the federal government to look kindly on them?
Remember, given the feds' increasing reach into corporate America, all kinds of things are on the line now for private industry.
On Wednesday, just to take one example, the pay czar reached into the boardroom and -- correctly in my opinion -- reduced the compensation of more than 150 top executives at companies receiving U.S. bailout funds.
These executives plus others who have business or tax issues pending before the federal government could be wary about advertising on Fox News, thus poking the Obama administration in the eye.
Obama's war on Fox News has entered a dangerous period.
It's time to call a halt, retreat and end this thing before Obama loses even more credibility with the American people.
He needs to focus a lot more on important issues such as passing needed health care reform and strong climate change legislation.

Fox News
Roger Ailes' assignment in the embryonic phases of Fox News was to create an organization that reflected the political views of Rupert Murdoch.
He has succeeded beyond even his wildest expectations.
The Fox credo--"fair and balanced"--has, like a Cozy Cole drumbeat, been relentlessly put forward but is less honest than the Bush administration's assertions about weapons of mass destruction.
However, they are there. They report.
The public should be aware of the political shadings of the things Fox says and either ignore them or view them with skeptically.
But that does not mean they should be excluded.
Kudos to ABC NBC CBS for defending Free Speech
Obama is showing more and more of his lack of leadership each day. His true colors are showing. He's starting to look more like a communist than a President of the United States..a FREE country.
And hey, you liberals out there -
did George W. Bush ever try to stifle MSNBC? No, he didn't concern himself with them. Agree with him or not on his policies, but he believed in a free press. Apparently your guy doesn't. What other freedoms will he attack?
The issue is a free press and freedom of speeh
It doesn't matter if you agree with Fox news or not. It doesn't matter whether you think it's real news or not. It doesn't matter if fox is right wing or not. What matters is that this is an issue of a free press and freedom of speech in America.
That is the issue, and a free press and free speech needs to be protected.
Dangerous is the correct word for any attempt to suppress free speech.
Is the President ill?
Yael T. Abouhalkah,
I agree: "dangerous" is not too strong a word.
At first, I thought Obama's goal must be to gain some red-neck cred by letting Fox slap him around for a few days. (Since that was obviously what would happen...) But the White House has escalated the conflict way beyond Fox, and beyond what could pass for hick-comradery.
Obama is now overtly threatening the media as a whole - and their business & industry associates. He is plainly casting aspersions on the First Amendment.
How could a man like Obama not recognize that we don't place qualifiers on claimants to protection under the Free Press clause? We can be drooling buffoons ... or egregious white supremacists ... and operate under Free Press (as no small number of both do, every day).
No matter what the shortcomings of Fox, Obama has no leg to stand on, trying to push them out from under the umbrella of the First, and Free Press.
... And when other media-operations see this happening, the hackles start rising on the back of their neck. 'This is crazy ... if he can do this, any powerful person or entity can do anything to any part of the Press they happen to disagree with'.
If Obama does not get off his trip - whatever it is - very soon, there will be serious questions raised about his mental condition ... and once seriously raised, it will be problematic-to-impossible, ever to make them fully go away.
Obama is flirting with real, self-inflicted, fundamental credibility-destruction.
Ted Clayton
Obama's feud with FOX NEWS
Obama's feud with FOX NEWS could be his biggest faux pax yet. If Obama wants to be re-elected he needs to back off before he is stained with the brush of censorship.
I think advertisers are
I think advertisers are smart enough to know people wouldn't stand for a Fox News boycott. Fox News is the only place you can get all the news. Thanks to Glenn Beck, we have one less Communist in our White House. Obama should get rid of Emanuel, Dunn, & Axelrod! He is getting some bad advise!!
No kaymar....
I want the big 0, the messiah to keep his Chicago boys surrounding him....
less then 13 months of this insanity
Can a thin skinned, underqualified President handle critical
....problems when he can't even deal with a little criticism from the Press? This guy is so incompetent and insecure he has to demonize anyone who disagrees with him. Typical of the idiots who ran the Clinton White house, since so many of these folks came back to make another mess.
How is this administration going to deal with Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Afghanistan and Russia? I guess if they don't fall in line with Obama's "suggestions" this White House will call them partisan rascists too. I'm sure that really worries them.
What are they going to do when H1N1 starts kicking in and thousands die....I guess that will be a partisan, racist disease too!
Call a Spade a Spade
It is important for someone of Obama's stature and influence to call out Fox "News" for what it is--a partisan tabloid-psuedo journalism outlet. We Americans deserve to have our news presented in a non-partisan way--or as close to it as journalists can get. Fox doesn't even try to sugar coat their mission, but they want their cake and they want to eat it too. No Go! Fox has been blurring the line between news and opinion long enough. They need to clearly delineate their news shows from their opinion shows. But mostly they need to stop the fear and hate-mongering. That is indeed unAmerican.
Bebe99 = pinhead
Actually what is unamerican is attempting to stop the free press. Perhaps you should take a course in American Government, you don't have a clue.
Fox news was established to present a conservative view of the news. You don't like, don't watch it. There is no difference between it and MSNBC, except of course, for a thin skinned president.
so tell me
How are any of the news organizations not blurring the line between opinion and news...see Matthews, Blitzer, Olbermann, etc.
Tell me how it is that we as Americans supposedly deserve a bias free news station of which we all control...TURN IT OFF OR DONT WATCH.....yet we seemingly do not deserve a president that tells the truth?
Shouldnt we be more worried about why the Superintendent of the School is in the parking lot trying to fistfight the captain of the football team...instead of in his office working on setting education policy?
Obama is picking fights with a news station, the highest rated by the way that should tell him something, and not out trying to create jobs or win the wars or hell even make a decision on the wars?
Why is for liberals that's perfectly okay? If say Bush had been on Fox News bashing MSNBC all the while EVERYTHING he has promised has not come to fruition or gone the exact opposite way (see unemployment)...what would have been the liberal response.
I agree with Obama that Hannity, O'Reilly, etc are annoying as hell....but guess what I do. I dont watch them. Plain and simple, that is my ultimate choice as an American...I didnt petition the government to shut them up...I did it for my self with the channel up/down button
bebe...
and of course you feel the same way about msnbc, cnn, cbs, abc and nbc.
Or does your "indignation" only apply to Fox News.
I hope the big 0, the messiah, the signer of the non-working porkulous bill continues his assault on American journalism and free speech.
Chicago politics at its finest....
less then 13 months of this insanity
Perfect example
of the lib mind set, censorship is okay if we do it. At least the libs in the media are able to recognize the slippery slope of socialism. I am a little surprised that they slapped the o down like they did, I hope it's for non-self serving reasons. Since I'm not a lib mind reader (like the ones on this blog) I will assume that their intentions were pure an apploud their integrity.
Good For Obama
It's time someone call-out the lies that FOX disseminates. Let's remember who is the driving force behind their pseudo-news organization: Rupert Murdock an ultra right-wing nut case.
