White House press secretary Jay Carney clashed with both Fox News Chief White House correspondent Ed Henry and CBS News correspondent Major Garrett during Mondays afternoon briefing.
Both intense exchanges surrounded the federal governments data collection of phone and internet records and the administrations handling of the issue.
Carneys back-and-forth with Henry was the most notable. The journalist asked a number of pointed questions, especially about Obamas claim on Friday that every member of Congress had been briefed on the NSAs program involving monitoring of phone calls and Internet service.
Why then are not just Republicans but Democrats like Keith Ellison saying Ive heard nothing about this.?
Carney responded by saying he couldnt speak to individual members, and then launched into a prepared statement saying that the chair and ranking members had made clear that every member had been advised of this and had the opportunity for briefings.
Henry, not so willing to cave, pressed further. He noted that it seemed as though the administration was retroactively speaking with leaders about the issues at hand.

If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves. WINSTON CHURCHILL

A high six figure salary and benies could be persuasive to some people.

... prepared statement saying that the chair and ranking members had made clear that every member had been advised of this and had the opportunity for briefings. That would be very easy to verify.
For a real news media.......

I didn’t think it was possible to find someone more annoying than Gibbs then this asshat steps into the limelight! I wish Ari Fleischer would seize an opportunity to slam their heads together and watch them fall like sacks of potatoes!

Do you believe anyone is going to rehire this clown as a journalist when Obama leaves office? Well since you asked..... Rev. Al "resist we much" Sharpton, Eliot "Client #9" Spitzer, Kieth "worst person in the World" Olberman, Rosie "Steel can't melt" O'Donnell.... To name a few.
You keep forgetting there are different rules for liberals than for normal people.
