White House Reporters Wear the Scarlet Letter
Nietzsche is Dead ^ | 28 April 09 | foutsc

Posted on 04/28/2009 4:59:15 AM PDT by foutsc

"Robert Gibbs gave White House reporters a "strong A" Friday for their work over the first 100 days of the new administration."

-- Michael Calderone, Politico.com

Note to press: Getting an 'A' from the White House means you're not doing your job.

In other headlines:

Bad students give high praise to easy teachers

Dirty players love blind referees

Crooks give "strong A" to incompetent cops

This should be a mark of shame for the self-appointed non-partisan watchdogs supposedly keeping government honest. Instead, they provide fawning coverage that would embarrass Mussolini. Gibbs' praise has branded White House reporters as the supplicant toadies they are. Jake Tapper excepted. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0409/21695.html

The very fact that Gibbs actually gave a grade ( of 'A' ) to the reporters admitted into the WH press briefings is totally creepy on all levels. Is Gibbs the professor? The boss? The rewarder as it were of good behavior? And if so, WHAT DOES THIS SAY ABOUT OUR PRESS CORP?

I thought the press in America was the watchdog of our freedoms. Seems to me it has become no more than a corp of buck shined knee padded in service only to obamma.

99% of the WH reporters are not doing their jobs. they should be asking questions instead of kissing Barry’s a$$. Those reporters all work for news organizations who want to promote the 0bama agenda despite what almost half of the voting public want. Robert Gibbs is an idiot so how does he know what kind of job reporters are doing because they keep lying and telling stories that highlight 0bama’s agenda.

On Fox Sunday, Liz Trotter commented on Gibbs’ statement by saying the press needs to take a long look at its actions. When the watchdogs are complimented by the people they are to watch something is very very wrong. Her words
