A Truce or a Surrender?

The Cable Game has been providing outstanding coverage of the White House – Fox News fight.  And it may be coming to and end soon.  But the question is on who’s terms?

The intrepid blogger at the Cable Game has some answers but ultimately you be the judge.

One of the Cable Game’s sources Inside Cable News explains:

…the term “truce” is vastly over-hyping things. The attacks have been pretty one sided as far as “the war” goes. It’s been all White House practically. It’s the White House that got itself in this mess. It’s the White House that backed itself into a corner. FNC, on the other hand, doesn’t have anything to really back down from. So now we’re hearing the word “truce”.  A truce implies that both sides knock it off (see: Olbermann/O’Reilly). What does FNC have to knock off? Glenn Beck’s rhetoric? Not going to happen. FNC doesn’t have anything to gain by throttling Beck.

Here’s the Cable Game’s take:

It looks to TCG as if the White House has simply thrown in the towel in its fight with Fox.

….if Robert Gibbs of the White House reached out to Michael Clemente of Fox, well, what does that tell you? It tells me that the White House is raising the white flag, and crying “uncle.” I mean, if the likes of Rahm Emanuel thought that they were winning, they’d keep fighting. You never want to stop when you’re winning, until you’ve won decisively.
