Romenesko’s Letter’s page has a dispute over events and characterization going on between The Oregonian’s Peter Ames Carlin and The Miami Herald’s Glenn Garvin over Garvin’s write up of the FNC part of the TCA tour on Monday. Garvin’s response in particular is interesting because it gives more color to what was going on at the FNC TCA event…

Characterizing the atmosphere in the room Monday is necessarily subjective. But no other news organization that has appeared at the TCA meetings opened with a video castigating critics by name, and no other news organization has been accused during a session of maintaining an “enemies list,” as Ailes was, or asked to promise that they would not imbue local local newscasts with their network’s “attitude,” as Ailes was. And it fairly boggles my mind to imagine that Ailes could have gotten an uproarious laugh from the critics by comparing the host of a rival network’s show to Hitler, as MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann did a couple of days earlier.

Which is the chicken and which is the egg in the antipathetic relationship between TV critics and Fox News can be reasonably argued. That the relationship is antagonistic, though, is beyond dispute.
