It is about time the MSM got treated like exactly what they are. And they are STILL treated way too well, for as anti-American, anti-Bush, anti-EVERYTHING that they are.

"But the White House press corps was 1,000 miles away in Texas."Where it's really, really hot, and their makeup is running, and they have to look at Cindy Sheehan and her gang of moonbats.

Notice the slam on "Local" news teams.
The local people just don't know how to put the right spin on breaking news. They are just too far away from the DNC faxed talking points.

Barred from such events, most news organizations will not pay to travel with him. Isn't this, you know... kind of the key sentence?
They're too cheap to fly along on their dime so the President of the United States, the leader of the free world, should stay where they are to make it easy for them?
I think they know where that notion should be stored. Then again, maybe they don't.
Dinosaur media, indeed.

Question is why do tax payers normally pay for these drive-by media vermin to travel with the President, in Air Force One, in the first place at all?
As far as I am concerned, White House Press Corps are worse then useless.
They are actually work to actively support our terrorist enemies.

Maybe... but I think escapes is the key word... and it's in the headline. They 'stink-up' the truth straight from the git'go.

What is the RAT media crying about? They know where President Bush is going, if they choose not to go there, and miss a major story, that's totally their fault. Talk about BDS.
To: Mo1
The idea that Bush could travel across the country without a full contingent of reporters, especially in the middle of a war, highlights a major cultural shift in the presidency and the news media. If a tree falls in the forest and the MSM doesn't report it ... guess what, you media a-holes? IT STILL FRIGGIN' FELL! QUIT PRETENDING NOTHING HAPPENS IF YOU AIN'T THERE!

Agreed, Tony is a smart guy and knows how to handle the jackals a/k/a WH Press Corps. I just couldn't help feeling sorry for Scott McClellan, he always looked like a deer in the headlights.

Just like the Cheney hunting accident, when Cheney dared to tell the local media instead of the Beltway elitists.
To: Mo1
"No press plane accompanied him. And so when news broke that Britain had broken up a major terrorist plot, the only ones there to convey the president's reaction were a handful of local reporters "
Good.
I'd take local reporters over the rabid White House Press Corps any day.

Yep! Bush's fault that reporters aks stoopid questions and can't buy their ticket because all the MSM money went to Dan RATher. But they can trail Cindy and follow white Bronco.

Scott was out of his league. Now the WH Press Corps is out of theirs! :)

Works for me. I would try to figure out a way to ditch the pool in AF1 too . Grab a local, and take them for a ride. They would be thrilled and I doubt they would be complaining about news channels to watch. That reporter in Corpus Christi(?) did an excellent coverage of the VPs hunting trip IMO.
To: Mo1
Well boo freaking hoo. Give the world a break, STHU.

So? When has the press reported anything worthwhile?
