Earlier this month, CNN's Ed Henry won an election...
CNN Senior White House Correspondent Ed Henry was elected president of the White House Correspondents Association board Thursday.
Henry garnered 86.9% of the votes to win the honor.
The WHCA board is perhaps most in the spotlight at the moment as it will decide which news organization will inherit Helen Thomas' front row seat in the White House Briefing Room.
Henry came out in support of Fox News, which is seen as the frontrunner along with Bloomberg News.
"When CNN bid for the front row in 2007, Fox could have challenged it and had a knock-down, drag-out fight like the one we might have this time," Henry said. "But they did the gentlemanly thing and said CNN had more seniority. I've got to honor that commitment."
Good for Ed Henry. He seems like a very dynamic and visable force in the association and will make a good President. He's very objective in his view about FOX News and they do deserve the seat.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Ed Henry and his choice for the vacant seat. Seems as if Ed's influence worked.
ReplyDeleteTVN is reporting that the front row seat will be occupied by Fox's Major Garett, not that I especially like him. But fair is fair, as long as Helen isn't there.
