A wing of the Republican Party at White House

The Obama administration published Fox Facts - and its lessor, reporters and commentators - shills for the Head ' s Republican opponents Sunday.

" Contract ' s not pretend they ' re a data network, " Hoary Turf communications director Anita Dunn oral on CNN ' s " Reliable Sources, " firing the latest volley credit the great - simmering feud.

White House officials have made no secret that they were incensed the network ' s coverage of the presidential race, and the bad karma has carried over.

President Obama last month dissed Rupert Murdoch ' s network by giving Sunday interviews to every TV network and cable outlet except Fox.

Michael Clemente, a Fox senior vice president, hit back that Team Obama is confusing news coverage with the sometimes incendiary opinions of Fox stars Glenn Beck, Bill O ' Reilly and Sean Hannity.

" So, with all due respect to anyone who still might be confused about the difference between news reporting and vibrant opinion, " Clemente said, " my suggestion would be to talk about the stories and the facts rather than attack the messenger which, over time, has never worked. "

Dunn made clear that the White House doesn ' t like anything about Fox - news or opinion. Dunn charged that Fox gloated over the U. S. losing the chance to host the 2012 Olympics and mocked the Nobel Peace Prize award to Obama.
