Terry Moran has his head up his a**!

But Mr. Moran said the Washington press corps’ social makeup—he called it mostly white, suburban, upper-middle class—reflected a genial group for whom noisy, baiting, choleric behavior didn’t come naturally.


***What does he mean by that? Hmmmmmm

and there's more, like this doozy...

"A year ago, in May 2003, Dana Milbank, the White House correspondent for The Washington Post, complained that the press had lost its misanthropic edge in a time when it needed it most. He told an audience at Yale, his alma mater, that "about 40 percent of the Washington Post newsroom … is now taking some form of antidepressant." He called it the "Prozac Newsroom."

Now Mr. Milbank said that "a lot of our trade has lost some of its rough edge," but was waking from a long slumber. And, he said, there was at least one maverick left: "David Gregory, who will shout out a question."

Mr. Gregory, the NBC White House correspondent, declined to comment.

Helen Thomas, the former U.P.I. correspondent who is the dowager among all White House curmudgeons—and who last year called President Bush the worst President in American history—agreed with Mr. Milbank. She said the press had become "much more intellectual" since she started in 1961. "I think they’re better educated," she said. "A lot more finesse—but I don’t think they’re better reporters." But she also said of the April 13 press conference, "Well, now they’re coming out of their coma, they’re getting much tougher. I thought they did a good job at the news conference. I don’t know what has made them wake up, but I think they’re better now than they were."
