White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest's faced a minor media revolt at his daily press briefing Monday after he criticized a Washington Post story for its reliance on anonymous sources.
Several reporters at the briefing challenged Earnest's critique by pointing out White House officials regularly insist information be anonymously attributed to members of the administration in conference calls and other communications.
"You criticize anonymous sources but we have anonymous sources from you every day," one reporter noted. "How can you criticize that when that's what you basically give us every day, except for the briefing?"
Earnest responded sarcastically.

[Reporter Revolt] == [they’re all sobbing]
Could the bootlicker liberal media be turning against Obama?
Stay tuned.
Poor little Josh the white boy. He’s even more juvenile and ignorant than Jay Jay was.
lol
Not until after the mid-terms, when Obama officially becomes a lame duck. Then they'll have more flexibility...lol.
“Could the bootlicker liberal media be turning against Obama?”
You give them waaaaayyyy too much credit. The likes of Chuck Todd and MSLSD turning against their own creation? Fat chance!
We lick your boots every day and you go and kick dirt at us? We are professional boot lickers and you better not forget that!
The MSM uses random occasions like this to demonstrate their “objectivity”.
And by election season they’re back in cheerleader mode.
What’s to be surprised? He’s the same arrogant, snotty nosed personality as his boss.
A minor lover’s quarrel. They’ll make up soon, and then Josh can resume screwing the media, (and they’ll love it).
It's just a lover's spat and they will kiss and make-up with enough gushy PDA to choke the whole stable! You'll see!
Don’t believe the Joshing boy will last long at this job...
JMHO.
No. Never.
Reporters are like politicians ... they all need to be replaced. Every. Single. One.
Exactly.
Remember the DAILY stories on gas prices. They were out of control, will President George W. step in, why isn’t he doing anything?
They’ve doubled under Obama and not a peed from the MSM.
That’s just one of thousands of examples. They are in constant spin mode for Dear Leader.
I missed the story who Josh is married to.
“Could the bootlicker liberal media be turning against Obama?
Stay tuned.”.... I won’t be holding my breath.
How many times has this question been asked in the last 5.5 years?
Several, and the answer is always the same... NO. Not even having NSA spy on a reporter did the trick. No amount of humiliation has done the trick. They pony up and slavishly continue to cover and obfuscate for the dictator.
Thank you for your service these last six or seven years and please don't forget your parting gift as you leave the room today.
