Regarding this article on Brietbart by Warner Todd Huston . . . may we humbly suggest that if that article was not our echo we were part of a timely chorus. Shades of our article yesterday regarding KWQC Gary Mitivea’s hard charging (not) “interview” with President Obama. Read Huston’s independently insightful article here. Excerpts, follow.
“Obama threw the White House press corps a bone on Monday by appearing for 20 some minutes and taking a grand total of four questions from those members of the Old Media whose official job is to report from the White House.”
“The President has taken about six serious questions from the press since June. But this doesn’t mean he’s taken no other questions from the press. Unfortunately, the questions he has taken have not been from a free and open press but have been pre-programmed.”
“While ducking the supposed serious reporters in the clubby WH press corps, Obama has been on a whirlwind tour of morning zoo radio shows, entertainment media likeEntertainment Tonight, and has allowed puffball interviews from down-the-line, local media outlets where he is sure no serious questions will be asked.”
“Why is he sure he’ll face no serious questions? Because he has forced each and every one of these “interviewers” to stick to pre-approved questions that he wrote for them himself.”
