Back in October 2009, Anita Dunn, then the White House communications director, sounded off against Fox News on CNNs Reliable Sources. She said Fox News was not a news network at this point and pointed to the networks coverage of President Barack Obamas ties to Bill Ayers and ACORN to justify Obama not appearing on the news channel.
Nearly three-and-a-half years later, in an appearance on HuffPost Live on Wednesday, Dunn reflected on those remarks, calling them a simple decision.
