Questions from news site still shut down

The shutdown on questions from WND at White House news briefings continues.

Les Kinsolving, WND's correspondent on the beat and the third-most-senior reporter there, today was not allowed to ask any questions at the briefing by spokesman Robert Gibbs.

He had prepared to ask:

"Are there any U.S. soldiers in Honduras or who are being sent there, and if so, why?"

"Dr. Benjamin Carson of Johns Hopkins described the proposed health-care legislation as 'going in the wrong direction and giving [patients] more government and less autonomy.' What is the president's reaction to this world-famed neurosurgeon?"

"In the story of Fox television do you know of any other instance where five networks have supported a sixth that was boycotted by the president?"

But Gibbs did not recognize Kinsolving for any questions, instead allowing CBS and NBC to ask 10 each; Fox News to ask five; CNN, CBS radio and the New York Times to ask four each.

WND reported earlier on the dispute that developed when Obama administration officials accused Fox News of being an arm of the Republican Party and having an agenda in its news reporting. The president himself has snubbed the network when granting interviews.

Former White House adviser to President George W. Bush, Karl Rove, said Obama officials are trying to demonize Fox News for asking questions they don't like. He said the attack is not much different than President Richard Nixon's journalists "enemies list."

Also reported were the rebuffs WND has experienced trying to ask questions of the Obama administration.

Like Fox News, which repeatedly has confronted the White House, WND has reported on unresolved issues, including twice at White House briefings when Kinsolving asked about the dispute over Obama's eligibility to hold office.
