Press Corps Warns White House Of Increased Adversarial Tone If They Aren't Nicer To Press Corps

Print reporters in the White House press corps are seething at perceived slights against them by President Obama and his team. Many print journalists see their role being diminished as Obama and his aides seem to lavish attention on television anchors and reporters and on liberal bloggers, and this is raising the adversarial tone at the daily briefings of Press Secretary Robert Gibbs.

1. They should be happy they have more access to him then when Bush was there.

15. Seriously. nt

2. Remember when Bush had all the RW radio hosts

at the WH for a pow wow? It was strictly for ass-kissing and no one complained. Remember when the Bush WH had a male prostitute blogger from a RW web site in the press room where the POTUS would call on him? I don't remember much poutrage then from the WH press corps. This again shows the double standard when the POTUS is a Dem.

:cry:

3. Bloggers

He is giving some bloggers and some of the smaller outlets a chance, the press corps don't like the competition.

instead of sucking up to him.

7. Well that makes great sense - newspapers are in such a strong position right now

as they step towards the ledge of oblivion.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

8. What? They think that their tone isn't ALREADY adversarial (enough)?

:wtf: alternate universe are THEY living in? The delusional nature of the corporate media whores and Repukes seems to be getting excessive

[Arkana]

9. Whiny assholes.

They're pissed because they're not getting any quotes to misrepresent and misprint.

10. aren't these the same clowns who thought they were going after a pulitzer prize investigating

Clinton's bj, rather than reporting on the right wings fake noise machine?

aren't these the same reporters that gave George Bush a pass up until the final 2 years when even they could not continue to ignore his low approval rating in the polls, never mind all the crimes he committed?

I have 5 words for these guys, sit down and shut up !

16. bush crew had a hotline to all the major tv outlets. They never complained then.

And their performance over the past 8 years has been dismal.. anyone remember the Iraq and many other conferences where it was later found out to be all scripted in advance?

I do.

[sofa king]

17. What, you think this guy won't replace you with a male prostitute?

Obviously, you do.

[dmr]

18. Extortion replaces what should be integrity

we have a full spectrum of media, all should be included - sans male strippers.

[unblock]

19. awww, duzza fuzzy wuzzy reporter wanna nickname?

[Wapsie B]

20. Good. I hope Obama pushes 'em into a meltdown.

Let a few rwing hacks keel over dead from their rage.

[jmondine]

21. I hear that online male prostitutes are lodging a similar complaint
