Deck Chair Time...

You've identified the real problem, the state-run media. They aren't "independent", never have been. They've always been in the bag for the 'Rats and attack hyenas on the 'Pubs. If by chance some semi-articulate, "real journalist" comes along and asks hard questions, putting The One in a less-than-burnished-glow light, what do they do? They run them out of the press room on a rail, or pull some other in-your-face threat.
I don’t have any sympathy for Carney but will say in fairness that it must be difficult trying to articulate the president’s position when the president has no rational justification for his position other than liberal feel-goodism or regurgitated Harvardian bs that makes no sense the second it leaves one’s mouth.
It does.
Show me a (marginally) honest Obama press spokesman, and I’ll show you a man on the fast track to a nervous breakdown.
The pressure comes from Obama. He is a Malignant Narcissist, and if you’ve never worked for one, count your blessings. The MN is a horrible/non-communicator, and he takes responsibility for nothing. Nothing. Yet he demands not merely perfection from those around him, but actual mind-reading. I.e.: you’re supposed to know what he wanted done and/or said even if he didn’t tell you. If ever you make him look bad, he has a million ways of making you suffer.
So yes, there is pressure. Just not from the MSM.

It is actually painful to watch and listen to Carney.
Perhaps the Obama regime should get someone from MSNBC,CBS,ABC,CNN,NBC to be their press person. Those folks are use to looking straight into the camera and lying their asses off to protect Obama.
I’m thinking that next they will bring in Alan Colmes.
Carney is the perfect representation of this “Peter Principle” “administration.”
Gibbs was a certified idiot. This guy Carney is without a brain, a total zero, just like his boss POTUS Obama. Sad days for the American Republic!!!
I believe it was Time Magazine. He is also married to Claire Shipman of ABC News. Can you say "conflict of interest"? Knowing this, the Obama Administration is probably keeping him in the dark on purpose.
Isn’t Keith Olbermann looking for work?
I love it. I’m around constantly changing “fact patterns” every day and didn’t know it. In the old days it was called “truth”.
