There's been a bit of debate in the blogosphere over whether this appearance by Barack Obama on Fox News meant that he'd granted an interview to the liberal-targeted network only days after the candidates had all pulled out of the Fox/Congressional Black Caucus debate.

MyDD's Matt Stoller yesterday said he had, and went on to accuse Obama of ending the "Fox News freeze out." But then he linked to this and said that in fact it had been a "general press conference." On the other hand, Media Bistro said that it had been an interview.

So we checked in with the Obama campaign. They told us that, yes, it was an interview:

It was with Fox alone -- he did a series of interviews with cable and broadcast networks following McCain’s mention of him in his Iraq speech.

We report, you decide.
