"The whole thing seems like a tempest in a teapot."

Unless Pres. Obama happened to be a Republican . . . .

[colorado tanker]

My BS detector is going off. If a Republican White House used these thuggish tactics the whole press corps would rise up in indignation. Remember their whining about Nixon’s so-called “enemies list”?

[Washi]

If there were two columns labeled “journalists” and “regime propagandists”, politico has just staked their claim, firmly, in the “propagandists” column.

[brownsfan]

The Obama media says this is no big deal, happens all the time.

If so, I’d expect any number of the b*st*rds to come forward with the threats they received from the GWB administration. Hmmmmm, haven’t seen a one.

[GreenHornet]

Remember the uproar by the left over John Bolton? He was denounced as a bully because he once yelled at a staffer.

"It's not a big deal. You've been yelled at by people in the White House, I've been yelled at by people in the White House -- I'm sure this has happened to a thousand people in Washington," Atlantic columnist Jeffrey Goldberg

This is acceptable behavior for public servants in Jeffrey Goldberg's view?

[Terry Mross]

I’d like to see all those emails all those reporters get from the white house. I’d also like to know if they got any of these type emails from the Bush white house.

[Long Jon No Silver]

Journalism is a grubby profession. I am an Aussie and our media and journo gaggle of geese are no where near as partisan as the henhouse journalists in U.S but its kinda headed that way . You now see newsreaders sneaking editorial commentary into what should be a straight out just the facts news story. A conceited bunch of chardonnay socialists half of them. That's my take from the land of Oz.

” I don’t mind the threats and abuse officer, he’s a good provider...”
said Atlantic columnist Jeffrey Goldberg, and Chuck Todd.

Sluts don’t care.

[Right Wing Assault]

When the obama mafia threatens you, you want to take them seriously. They are just like bubba’s mafia. People disappear or turn up dead.

If the white house can threaten the media and get away with it, would they be okay if I threatened them, too?. I know some really nasty people I could sic on them.
