why do they complain and cry about fair reporting...do they think that the pubic will amass and destroy Drudge?

White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer complained that the Drudge Report (a prominent website for news headlines) is “hurting our message.”
“If it were only Drudge we had to contend with we’d be okay,” Pfeiffer said. “The problem is other media are picking up his content and demanding to know our response. This flies in the face of the protocol we have striven to establish. We feel that the media should be getting their main thrust from us. They should not be badgering the Administration with notions originating from outside.”
Thus far, Pfeiffer’s approach toward combating this threat has been to seek to intimidate media representatives who cite Drudge as a source for questions they raise. “My first effort is to establish that mere mention of this discredited source is a reason for reporters to be embarrassed,” Pfeiffer bragged. “If this is insufficient to bring them into line, my suggestion that they may be cut off from participating in our future briefings if they don’t behave themselves usually does the trick.”
“In a perfect world irksome intrusions from pests like Drudge wouldn’t exist,” Pfeiffer added. “Getting from here to there, though, is likely to take some effort. For the time being we are going to have to swat them down whenever they rear their ugly heads. This doesn’t mean we aren’t seeking a more permanent solution.”

In a communist world, irksome intruders like Drudge would be executed!
Yeah, that pesky First Amendment, hey?
Democrats control 99% of the corrupt MSM and yet the first thing out of any Liberal’s mouth is, “but, Fox News...”.
Translation: Matt Drudge refuses to be a presstitute and lick the boots of the dictator, and I DON’T LIKE IT!
Life is tough, Dan. Suck it up.
Translation: SATIRE!
Yeah, it may have been written as satire, but everyone knows this is predicated on reality.
I sure messed up that one!
I’m not a good multi-tasker...I’ll be more careful next time.
You ALMOST did it again. Some satire is entirely too close to reality.
Good Job!
I saw this Pfeiffer character on FNC for the first time this morning. He looks like he’ll be moving up from Junior High to High School at the end of May. Kids running the government. Great!
In other words, "You stupid minions are wandering off the reservation here. You are only to report what we tell you. And you should not question anything we say as it is absolutely the unquestionable truth."
John’s pieces do it to ya! I don’t know anyone who didn’t swallow the bait at least once!
I’ve been had. (Embarrassed)
That’s the first time I got hooked. I should have finished the article. :o(

Ah, but 0bama can count on the Goebbelses in the national media to do their best to get it out with just the right spin.
. :-D
No, Drudge is ACCURATELY REPORTING “your message”
We feel that the media should be getting their main thrust from us.
These commies are making the old Soviet Union look like a Sunday school picnic. Now the Army has classified Evangelical Christians and Catholics with Hamas and AlQaeda. Next come the re-education camps.
i made it to, “in a perfect world,” before i thought to look at the source... sure enough... :)
