Air Force One press wants an alternative to FNC?
The Atlanta Journal Constitution’s Ken Herman writes about a strange to-do on Air Force One that occurred today and how the TVs in the press cabin got changed from FNC to CNN…(via Romenesko)
Despite McClellan’s TV options, the record will show that – other than when the movie of reporters’ choice is showing (and that frequently invites a gender-based battle over what to watch), Fox is showing on the screens in the press cabin of Air Force One.
As McClellan and VandeHei talked TV channels, Agence France Presse photographer Tim Sloan volunteered that he was the one who raised the issue.
“I was the Fox victim,” he said, “and I was told, the quote was, ‘No,’ when I asked for CNN. … I was told, ‘We don’t watch CNN here. You can only watch Fox.’”
I was wonering why this was a story… What do they expect to be playing on Air Force One, the Food Network?
