WND, USA Radio, others almost cut off at briefing

MR. SNOW: "We're not commenting on Code Pink, fortunately for you, because we'd have to apply that same thing to you; they'd be leading you out in vinyl handcuffs."

Then there were about a dozen more questions from reporters, including USA Radio who asked:

"And I have a quick question on behalf of many of us neglected. Would you please consider suggesting to the president that he broaden his rare press conference questions to include more of us long-serving reporters whom he doesn't call on anymore?" was the question.

"Long serving or self serving? (Laughter.)," was Snow's response, according to the White House transcript.

Looks like Tony took the opportunity at his last press briefing to insult the few actual conservatives in the room. He occasionally took on a few of the more obnoxious leftist reporters (i.e. David Gregory), but it's clear that Tony always felt more comfortable with the lockstep-left MSM types than with those who had the temerity to question WH actions from the right side.

Seems Lester is unhappy.

Lester is always unhappy, he can't be anything else.

It seems some Tony-hating FReepers are unhappy too. boo-freakin-hoo

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

I’d listened to the WH Press Briefing. Lester was unhappy and had started to shout at Tony and when Tony tried to answer, Lester shouted him down and finally Tony responded that the others asked questions that he gave a rip about.

Did he do that when the MSM press people do the same thing?

[Dr. Thorne]

This story is a microcosm of the attitude that the WH has toward any media that is not MSM. The last press briefing that Tony Snow has SHOULD be a fairly important story. Instead, some FReepers don't care unless it gives them the opportunity to criticize others.

Rush talks about the Drive-By Media. Around here, I see a lot of Drive-By FReepers: All criticism - No substance.

> I’d listened to the WH Press Briefing.

And as you know, I’ve listened to just about every one them, and the number of times Lester was not a complete loon I can count on one hand.

I’ll wager that you are not very familiar with Mr. Kinsolving.

You mean Tony is tired of answering q's from Lester,similar to this one?

Does the President have any comment on the sexual habits of Yaks , on Tuesday nights , during a full moon in a leap year?

That Tony, shame on him! :0)

[Primetimedonna]

AMEN!!!

[Primetimedonna]

lol!!

[prairiebreeze]

Good for Tony!

[saveliberty]

Did you listen to the Press conference? When someone tried to talk over him, he tried to get the conversation back on track. No one shouted at him as Lester did.

[saveliberty]

It’s okay to have unusual ideas, but Lester behaved badly.

[saveliberty]

LOL
