It's war.
The Obama administration declared Fox News - and its owner, reporters and commentators - shills for the President's Republican opponents Sunday.
"Let's not pretend they're a news network," White House communications director Anita Dunn said on CNN's "Reliable Sources," firing the latest salvo in the long-simmering feud.
"Fox News often operates almost as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party," Dunn said.
"What I think is fair to say about Fox, and certainly the way we view it, is that it really is more a wing of the Republican Party," she added.
White House officials have made no secret that they were incensed the network's coverage of the presidential race, and the bad karma has carried over.
President Obama last month dissed Rupert Murdoch's network by giving Sunday interviews to every TV network and cable outlet except Fox.
