The Reason that the White House doesn't like Brett Bair is because he is one of the ONLY reporters that has ever interviewed Obama aggressively...he didn't allow Obama to spin everything and take hours to answer an easy question....You could tell Obama was pissed...That's what all reporters should be doing!!! But of course we have mostly STATE-RUN media in this nation....
October 22nd and 23rd 2009 Emails
Emails reveal White House calling Fox News host Baier ‘a lunatic’

Back in 2009, the feud between the Fox News Channel and President Barack Obama’s administration reached its height. Then-White House Communications Director Anita Dunnhere publicly attacked the network on CNN, and former Fox News host Glenn Beck spearheaded an effort that resulted in the resignation of White House “green jobs czar” Van Jones.
That dust-up led to rumblings from the White House about excluding Fox News from the White House press pool, a notion the Obama administration promptly backed away from. But in the lead-up, the White House had some choice words for “Special Report” host Bret Baier. According to a press release from the watchdog group Judicial Watch, emails they obtained reveal then-Deputy White House Communications Director Jennifer Psaki, threatened to put dead fish in “the fox cubby” and also revealed Psaki calling Baier a lunatic:
“Regarding general anti-FNC bias within the Obama White House in an October 23, 2009, email exchange between Jennifer Psaki, Deputy White House Communications Director and [then-Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs in the Treasury Department Jenni] LeCompte, Psaki writes, ‘I am putting some dead fish in the fox cubby – just cause”. In an email on the night of October 22, 2009, commenting on a report by Fox News Channel anchor Bret Baier noting the exclusion of the network from the pool, Psaki writes to Compte and fellow White House colleagues, ‘…brett baier just did a stupid piece on it — but he is a lunatic’.”
