"Now Mr. Milbank said that "a lot of our trade has lost some of its rough edge," but was waking from a long slumber. And, he said, there was at least one maverick left: "David Gregory, who will shout out a question." Check out the two names above. Milbank, on MSNBC this morning, ran with the "Why is GWB meeting the 9/11 commission with Cheney" talking point...refusing to ask why President Clinton met the 9/11 commission with Sandy Berger...in order to give the false appearance that it was somehow unusual for President Bush to meet with the 9/11 commission with allies in tow.
Gregory, back when President Bush transited through France on his way to sign the LARGEST NUCLEAR REDUCTION TREATY IN WORLD HISTORY, failed to ask either Chirac or President Bush why the French *anti-nuclear* protestors were out protesting GWB in France. Instead, he spoke in French first, then switched to English to ask why the French hated GWB.
Anti-nuclear protesters...protesting the signing of the largest nuclear reduction in world history...and the reporters on the scene couldn't even comprehend the magnitude of the story that they missed.

The fact remains they choose to repeat slightly different versions of the same question seven times.
And failed to ask one question about the economy.
Gee, wonder why.....

The reporters at the April 13 presidential news conference squandered their opportunity to ask hard-hitting questions about the issues of the day.
Instead, the reporters sounded like they were working for MoveOn.org or the Jersey Girls.
Then they have the nerve to complain that Bush took up too much of the hour with his prepared statement; Bush doesn't answer questions; Bush is a dullard, we are his intellectual superiors . . .
Perhaps if these reporters weren't so self-important and impressed by their own proximity to power, they would have the attention span and depth of knowledge to formulate more constructive questions.
Mr. Gannon - you must have nerves of steel to move in those circles.

You are most kind. Fortunately I am largely shunned by the elites.
Its doesn't take nerves of steel, just an ability to bite one's tongue.

"What does he mean by that?" That they're a bunch of panty-waisted elitists??
What an admission.

Interesting...
A reporter shows he has no brains and then admits he has no balls.
To: Southack
More importantly Clinton brought along his FIXER, Bruce Lindsey. What's up with that? Why isn't the press in an uproar about that?

"There are many obstacles for admittance." I can imagine that there are many obstacles considering the uniqueness of the position, not to mention your lack of leftist credentials. I'm thankful to know that you are a regular there.
I've added your website to my Favorites, and look forward to spending some time there.

Soooo....let me see if I have this right: Clymer Moran is complaining that he isn't a BIGGER Clymer....and it's all President Bush's fault?

"You didnt have the right-wing media structure you have now. Nobody is stopping Mr. Moran or any of them except, probably, their bosses. You dont want to look like Sam Donaldson now. All of the media nowand on every storytheyre looking over their right shoulder and asking if theyre being too liberal. Never do they look over their left shoulder and ask if theyre being too conservative."
Never do they look over their left shoulder and ask
if there's anyone to the left of themselves.
