Imagine a Republican speaker telling this to the press, there’d be hell to pay.

the question is not whether a reporter can handle the frenzied outburst, but rather, why was there a frenzied outburst (not to mention is it professional and appropriate).

Yes Jay, the press needs to toughen up. They need to stop being such wimps and really start to get though with these idiots in the administration.

“What a punk.”

Yeah, and I’ll bet he’d be just the guy to toughen them up.

The reporters should get together for a little “atomic wedgie” re-education.

And say that the lone person actually doing any investigating is “unreasonable” - right before going out and telling everybody how “transparent” you want to be.

Well, they are transparent quite by accident. Is there anybody left on the globe who can’t see them for the bucket of spit they are?

If Ms. Attkisson had any gumption she would introduce Mr. Carney’s gonads to the tip of her shoe as she severely berates him for his ungentleman-like behavior toward her noble profession.
