I'm a liberal. I've been in favor of President Obama. But I've got to tell you, it's outrageous. And as a member of the White House press corps, it is a matter of who they let in to the morning gaggle, who they let in to breifings, and its -- I've never seen anything like it. And, listen, I bashed the Bushs administration every day on Fox News. And, you know what? They were kind to me, they let me into everything, they never excluded anybody.
My transcription...
For once in my life, Ellen Ratner and I were in agreement. She was quite forceful on the issue of access.

Actually she just said, "I bashed the Bushs every day." But of course she meant the administration. Meant to put that in brackets.
First Helen Thomas, then that Jake whatisname from ABC, and now Ellen Ratner.
Who’s up next? Keep it coming people. This is important! Maybe the most important thing you’ll ever say in your journalistic career.
‘Course she said it on Fox, so it’s not “real” news.
They may be afraid of some blowback by the media on their war with Fox News.
So she ADMITS she was “bashing Bush” and not necessarily reporting the News objectively?
Well LA DI FRIKKIN DAH!
This is good, so far. But I wonder how long it will be before the WH calls together another gaggle of the chosen press to reiterate their talking points, with a baseball bat, not to follow Fox News’ leads?
Carrot/stick.
Except the stick is a Chicago BB bat.
Their "support" was probably more self preservation of the DBM than anything else,IMHO.
To bad Ellen will not speak out about Obamas war on america.
LOL You may be on to something there.
I’m guessing the ‘Rat internal pols ain’t looking too good from the incompetence in the WH.
THAT is amazing, with all the issues going on. Are they taking time to re-strategerize??
Nixon v. Obama.
Richard Nixon's shenanigans were existential threats to our Republic? What he was accused of would shock today's America? Even in light of the antics of the 1990s and beyond.. really?
I got a movie to sell you, "The French Line".
1953 Headline:
Disgusting! Can the producer, not the movie!
End of Our Morals. Vulgar Costume, Vulgar Bath Scene, Dance!
"Jane Russell is almost nude, one-piece costume reveals skin below her waist."
Los Angeles, 1953. "Jane Russell in 3D, it'll knock [bleep] your eyes out" says the promotion. It's the end of Hollywood morals say some. "Ban it!" . . . .
. . .
2009 Headline:
Hollywood: "Don't insult us. We're not 'The French Line'"
1953 Movie Was Way Overboard, "Glad It Was Banned"
"'Liberals for Morality' denounce immoral 1953 movie at "Let's F*** Til We Drop" premier
Take a good look, liberals.
Look at the monster you have created.
It’s hard to know what the thinking is. They have no integrity. They lie constantly. They have no problem with that. So it’s not the integrity of information that they are concerned about.
I haven’t figured it out. Perhaps they think it just makes the Won look bad.
We have a winner.
Ditto.
This article gives me hope only minutes after Joy Behar called me and other conservative citizens a “toxic fringe”.
Well yeah. Maybe she can cross the street to NBC and say the same thing and it’ll be real news then!!!
No kidding...there isn’t one MSM host worth his/her paycheck who wouldn’t be asking about the WH policy re: Fox. And they know it.
It’s interesting how the(the WH) has backed themselves into a corner. They’ve almost made it mandatory to question their action, whether the MSM wants to or not.
I wonder if Ellen still holds to her opinion that the war in Iraq was for oil now that news has broken that China and India are beating the U.S. out of oil contracts?
LOL. Well, join me on the toxic fringe.
Wazza maddu? Is the white house scaywd they might pee on the carpet if somebody asks them an unsqwipted question???
Hard to believe.
Aww, poor Ellen is getting all wee-wee’d up.
What goes around comes around you clueless liberal fool.
What i think should happen, and this is all predicated on Helen Thomas being sincere with what she said the other day...i think Helen has had her many years in the sun and should throw out her press credentials and go on Barbara Walters or any journalist out there who still has some clout with mainstream america and spill the beans about how different this administration has treated the press as opposed to other administrations she’s reported about.
She may be the only one who can pull it off. And i’m talkin’ make a big old fuss like only Helen Thomas can do. What’s the WH gonna say about that?
Who the HE!! did you think you were helping to elect Ellen? Bam and his crew were conniving ,backstabbing, dirtbags then and some how you have a "come to Jesus" moment now?
All you have done now Ellen is confirm your another Obama voting MORON!
Much agreement here.
I still think everything with the DBM,DNC, rats in general is all political, all technically calculated,nothing to do with love of country, truth or any of the things we hold dear.
Yeah, surrogates out all over the place trying to do damage control. Rham Emmanuel is going to speak at a Chamber of Commerce dinner for crying out loud! I can’t imagine how that came about! Independents and Democrats are finally seeing...And Obama and his thugs are losing them big time, as they should.
Whats the matter ellen?Are the taxes on your business going through the roof?Poor baby.
To All:
HUBRIS!
“And the mighty shall fall by their own hands...”
Not original... But fitting.
:-)
Even the liberal pressholes know this is a dangerous road the White House is going down. The ones that don’t are just sycophants anyway.
Good grief! Check your temperature fast! You might have the swine flu!
This monster runs every major University campus in the US. Liberals know this monster well. It is their pet. They just are not used to seeing it work against them in the White House.
I’m waiting to hear from Eleanor Cli-t. She is the most distasteful lib anywhere. When she says Fox is kind, I’ll believe we’re onto something.
(Amazing - because it is such an unusual honest assessmet; and shows they can recognize 'good' - when 'push' comes to shove them.)
In the end they(demrats) will self-destruct as they always do and the adults(us) will come aboard to set things straight,as we always do.
Considering her sibling was the former car czar...
