FOR EXAMPLE, the Bush administration never tried to cut off pool access to MSNBC. And while MSNBC doesn't have a significant audience at no time did Bush limit in any way access to NBC, the same organization.

They did worse...they planted fake stories with gullible and eager NYT reporters, or exposed CIA agents through the press...
the bush administration is not a good benchmark for you to use on this topic.

"This is, of course, not true AT ALL."

Yes it is. Despite you fantasies about the situation.

"The War of the Obama administration consisted of sending out top guns -- chief of staff, top political advisers, on the Sunday morning news shows -- bashing a major news outlet as "not being news", "

And Bush did the same. Look up some of Perino's press conferences.

"Perino did NOT say the Bush admin did to MSNBC what Obama has done to FNC."

I guess you didn't listen to her interview, then.

"FOR EXAMPLE, the Bush administration never tried to cut off pool access to MSNBC."

And that never happened to Fox. So, your point here is, what exactly?
