Fox News gets a new seat

Heh -- Helen Thomas' old front row one. From The Hill:
Fox News to move to front-row White House briefing room seat
The White House Correspondents Association voted unanimously Sunday afternoon to move Fox News to the front row of the White House briefing room.

The seating change was prompted by the resignation of veteran UPI reporter Helen Thomas.

According to Ed Henry, the senior White House correspondent for CNN and member of the WHCA board, the Associated Press will move to the front-row middle seat formerly occupied by Thomas.

Fox News will replace the AP in its former seat, also in the front row, and NPR, which lobbied for Thomas' seat along with Fox and Bloomberg News, will take Fox's former seat in the second row.
Ought to shake things up a little bit... Reminds me of the opening scene of the 1969 movie Putney Swope -- I'll have to get a copy for the store as I remember it being really funny... Posted by DaveH at August 1, 2010 9:20 PM
