Talk about your government shutdown. Conservatives would have enjoyed watching liberal TV reporters sputter if President Bush had completely skipped the first row of reporters and picked only friendly reporters, even writers for conservative blog sites. But the media elites would have thrown a major tantrum about censorship -- including Jay Carney in his tenure at Time magazine.
Put the shoe on the other foot, and the liberal media is pretty quiet. President Obama failed to call on TV reporters at his Wednesday press conference, even though he came to The Huffington Post for a shoe-shine question. Then Tommy Christopher at Mediaite pointed out White House press briefer Jay Carney aggressively ignored Ed Henry of Fox News twice at Friday’s briefing, so he walked out:
At Friday afternoon’s long-delayed briefing, Carney had gone through every TV reporter when Ed Henry began to ask his question. He got out “Jay…” before Carney called on The Chicago Tribune‘s [Obama fangirl] Christi Parsons, and as she asked her question, Henry could be seen shaking his head.
Henry tried again on the next question, and when Carney ignored him again, Henry smiled, got up, and walked out. While Fox News hasn’t always gotten a question at presidential press conferences, this was the first time in memory that a Fox News reporter wasn’t called on at a daily briefing...
Fox News has at times been a thorn in the Regime's side. I'm sure our pals on the Left are perfectly fine, then, with the fact that a reporter for that network would be ignored by The Regime's spokes-idiot.
The ends justify the means, you know. Sometimes a regime has to play hardball. Remember - Fox News apparently didn't get the memo (like the other networks did) back before the '12 elections that Benghazi was to be completely ignored. FOX NEWS ACTUALLY TRIED TO GET SOME ANSWERS ABOUT BENGHAZI AND HOLD THE REGIME ACCOUNTABLE.
Geez. The nerve. Who do they think they're dealing with, the evil Bush?
Anyway, I've noticed a slight leftward tilt to FNC over the past several months. In light of that, perhaps the Regime will reconsider and allow Fox to remain in business, if not to actually ask questions.
I know all of us citizens are awaiting to see what happens.
You're a brave man. Go and break through the lines. And remember, while you're out there risking your life and limb through shot and shell, we'll be in be in here thinking what a sucker you are. ~Rufus T. Firefly

Martha McCallum is too stupid to have a political philosophy.
