GARRETT: “The White House said it was at war with Fox News. I was its most visible editorial representative on the White House grounds as a senior White House correspondent for Fox. The White House would always pull me aside and say 'well, really, Major, we're not at war with you,' and I said 'stop talking to me like that because when you're at war with my network you by definition are questioning and assailing my journalistic credibility and the work I do here every day. So don't tell me it's not about me, it is about me. Now, they never tried to pull my pass, but they had this sort of arms-length relationship to Fox and tried to demonize it on a daily basis. So that's another part of American history and journalism in the White House press corps I think at least should be noted at this moment, that It's not without precedent and it's not without some high-level people saying things very aggressive about a single news network."
