The White House blew off a demand for openness and transparency from 40 prominent media groups, offering instead a “bunch of spin” that has reporters calling for a public debate on the administration’s anti-press policies, according to a prominent journalism organization. “We need to have a discussion,” said David Cuillier, president of the 10,000-strong Society for Professional Journalists. Cuillier, in Washington to address a national convention of archivists, told Secrets that White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest on Monday sent a response to a July 8 letter from SPJ and others demanding that the administration stop blocking reporter

"We need to have a discussion"

The time to have a discussion was years ago, back in 2007 and 2008. Even anytime since then. Nobody in the media has been interested. Nothing has changed.

Sounds like Dr. Frankenstein is still in denial of the monster he created.

Obama has contempt for these media ass-kissers because he knows they will never go against “their creation.”

and as I have always said, the media will not ever complain until THEIR rights get trampled. The bugging of the AP office didn't really seem to bother them, so this admin pushed the envelop further.

Dear Reporters,

If you pulled your collective heads out of Obama’s rectum you would have oxygen flowing to your brain. BUT, you loved the smell so much of this dreamy white-black nobody. You got him elected. And unlike a whore that gets paid, you got used like a Kleenex and disposed of.

Opie

Wow, it looks like the media whores and jourinalists are finally waking up to what we’ve known all along. Poor babies. May they get the treatment they so justly deserve.

The journalistic anilingus of the lib/commie media has yielded them nothing but contempt from the object of their affection. The media with their cheerleading of Juan McCain and then Obama have helped destroy the country.

The enablers of fascism always complain the loudest when it’s THEIR turn to take the hit when they are no longer useful.
