Sept 10, 2013: "...After the terrorist attack of Sep. 11, 2001, Compton was the only broadcast reporter allowed to remain on Air Force One with then President George W. Bush. Comptons reporting on the Sep. 11 tradgedy earned her recognition with ABC News' Emmy and Peabody awards.
In 2006, Hollins alumnae gathered in Washington, DC where President Nancy Oliver Gray presented Compton with Hollins Distinguished Alumnae Award.
In honor of her 40 years of service, President Obama presented Compton with a cupcake Airforce One. President Obama is the seventh US president Compton has covered as a White House Correspondent."..... Source
I don't believe anything any of them say.
But when a reporter who spent six years fawning over Obama when she was at ABC News all of a sudden says she was concerned about the dishonesty and “opaqueness” after she retires it becomes too hypocritical not to notice.

At the White House press briefing room, colleagues of ABC News reporter Ann Compton toasted her last day at the White House with champagne and rum cake after the daily press briefing on Tuesday afternoon.
During the celebration, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest made a surprise visit to offer his own toast to Compton and recognize her long career as a reporter at the White House.
What’s distinguishing about her is this inner spirit in which she is eager to see the White House succeed, and she does not view that as being at odds with her commitment to holding the administration accountable and insisting on transparency and access and telling the story about what is happening to the American people, Earnest said.
Earnest willingly went on the record to discuss Comptons career, which has lasted over four decades.
She is able to better the way that she sort of wishes for and aspires to the success of this institution that is the White House, and that is a really classy thing. Thats the kind of thing you dont learn by working every two or years, thats the kind of thing you cultivate after years and years of experience, he said.

He’s no Harry S Truman.. Or is he?
Battered wife syndrome was my thought exactly. They suffer and they enable. “I just love him so, why won’t he change?”
As RATagandists, it's their job to shutup and vote right.
“anns reporting on obama was so fawning”
She’s sadly addicted to food and shelter, and needs money to feed that monkey.

Imagine how angry Obama would be if we actually had a free and independent press...
Watch interviews, and books fly off the shelf, when Hussein and tribe move out of White House.
Will more than likely get very interesting.
and I believe it will begin quickly as well.
Gutless for you to bring it up now, Ann.
