August 11, 2007 -- New York Times reporter Linda Greenhouse caused a major headache for executives at the C-Span network when she acted like a diva, refusing to join a panel of fellow court reporters because it was going to be televised for the public. . . .
Snip
Greenhouse became "infuriated" and refused to speak at the last minute, claiming she wasn't told beforehand that the event would be carried by C-Span. She then gave the panel organizer an ultimatum. "I told her she had a choice - either she could have me on the panel speaking candidly or she could have C-Span there," Greenhouse told the CJR. She added that she came to speak to a "room of academics" and she "didn't want to have to modulate my comments for a national audience."
Since Greenhouse was considered the marquee attraction, panel organizer Amy Gadja decided to shut the cameras down to keep her happy.
C-Span programming vice president Terence Murphy fired off an angry letter to the organization that assembled the panel, the Association for Education in Journalism & Mass Communication. . . .
Snip
Murphy told The Post's Marianne Garvey: "I don't understand why an association for journalists would close an event to media. They kicked our cameras out - to me, that doesn't make sense. If you didn't want to be filmed, you didn't need to come."
Some speculate that Greenhouse was freaked out over being televised because of the harsh reaction she got last summer to a speech at Radcliffe College, where she slammed the George W. Bush administration and displayed her fervent liberalism.

Linda Gashouse wants to be able to babble her usual lefty slant without a public video record...... the question is why anyone could have regarded this gashag as the “marquis attraction” for any panel at all????
Also, what kind of media person refuses to go on the record for such an event? Amazing how the MSM constantly faults others for not answering their biased questions, but can refuse to be recorded even in so friendly an environment.
Does anyone have a picture of this person?
A picture is worth a thousand words..she must look the moonbat part.
“She added that she came to speak to a “room of academics” and she “didn’t want to have to modulate my comments for a national audience.”
Aren’t we fortunate that she is thoughtful enough to want to dumb-down her language for us dummies who read papers and vote for the government?
Who?
Translation: She expected to speak within a room full of like-minded liberal socialists, and didn't want the general public to hear what she had to say.
IOW, "I want to say some things I don't want anybody else to know about because they might think ME a FOOL."...................
Translation: I am an academic airhead.....

Linda Greenhouse: God Save the Queen?
http://www.abovethelaw.com/linda_greenhouse/
Because she needs all the help she can get these days. Backlash and insurrection against New York Times reporter Linda Greenhouse, the long reigning queen of the Supreme Court press corps, continue to grow.
For years, the courts construed 40 U.S.C. 6134 — which forbids “loud, threatening, or abusive language in the Supreme Court Building” — as prohibiting criticism of Linda Greenhouse. As a result, nobody within the legal or media establishment dared breathe a harsh word about her. But now, after decades of dominance, La Greenhouse is slipping — and increasingly vulnerable to attack.
Fueled by the success of the bestselling, critically acclaimed Supreme Conflict, Jan Crawford Greenburg — ABC News’s young, talented, and utterly gorgeous Supreme Court correspondent — is challenging Greenhouse for the title of America’s top Supreme Court reporter. Last month, a threatened LG tried to mount a snarky counterattack. But rather than damaging Greenburg’s reputation, it merely caused SCOTUS insiders to marvel at Greenhouse’s pettiness.
And now Greenburg’s challenge to Greenhouse is emboldening others. Some dare to claim that the empress has no clothes. Take Adam J. White of Baker Botts, a former Sentelletubby and legal commentator. White had this to say about Linda Greenhouse, in an essay for the Weekly Standard:
The law takes the long view, and so do its chroniclers — none more so than Linda Greenhouse, New York Times reporter and unofficial doyenne of the Supreme Court press corps. But Greenhouse’s recent essay on Chief Justice Roberts exemplifies the risks of racing to write the second draft of history before the first: By attempting to turn a single case into a moment of historic importance, Greenhouse misdescribes the record of one chief justice and severely insults another.
OUCH — and there’s more. You can read the rest of the piece here.....
Do they know anything about Greenhouse gasses? /sarcasm
Not just being catty -- there are serious consequences to a bad overbite, not the least of which is losing your teeth. Her parents should have done something about that years ago, but it's not too late to fix it now.
Ah, a face for radio...must have a voice for newspaper.
Why the long face?
“That’s cold”
