National Public Radio reporter Ari Shapiro reports that liberal pundits were seen entering the West Wing:

Spotted: @joshtpm @capehartj @ezraklein & other lefty columnists headed into the West Wing as a group. POTUS coffee? Carney meeting? Anyone?

— Ari Shapiro (@arishapiro) May 21, 2013

The pundits include Jonathan Capehart, Josh Marshall, and Ezra Klein.

The mainstream media is getting its line of march orders, first hand, second hand and third hand, depending on how much plausible deniability they want for themselves that what they are about to do for Obama they will do strictly on their own and not as the defacto virtual media arm of the Obama administration that they actually are.

No doubt about it..they are fixing to put out the commie party line in a coordinated effort to shield Obama and attack republicans in the hopes that the republican leaders back down from investigations. I would not be surprised if they drop some trumped up ‘bombshell’ on a GOP entity or media person that has been being blackmailed and intimidated to keep their mouths shut.

Only makes them look even more guilty though to the common folk.

You’re likely right.
They’re cooking up something, and it’s not Moochelle’s vegetables.

Had to look the Eugene Robinson column up:

Obama administration mistakes journalism for espionage

...The Fox News case is even worse...

Liberal Pundits Gather in West Wing

Why did they have to gather in the West Wing? 0bama and the Carney have all of them on speed dial.

You can’t snuggle up to each other using speed dial.

Word.

Ask General Petraeus how the game is played.

Just a different train of thought -

We all assumed the ‘secret’ meeting is to strategize for damage control.

WHAT IF, this is WH preparing their lapdogs for more explosive stuff on multiple fronts (scandals) that's about to hit the air? Give them a heads up and instruct them how to respond in swiftness?
