I think the off the record meeting friday was a butt kissing session. The WH must realize they have gone a bridge to far. It’s buffoonery to continue the old lies with the release of the talking point edits showing the path from the truth to fantasy land.

“CBS News President David Rhodes and ABC News President Ben Sherwood, both of them have siblings that not only work at the White House, that not only work for President Obama, but they work at the NSC on foreign policy issues directly related to Benghazi.”

I think his little off the record pre press conference pissed a lot of them off.

I do too. I'd give almost anything to know what was said.

Well if these are true News Men why haven’t we had a story from the secrete presser?
MSM is losing ratings fast and are going to have to recover!
NBC is in the Tank BW not doin so hot!
People with any smarts do not trust them anymore and Trust used to be the key word for any reporter!
You can toss em all off the GW bridge and would be fine with me!

no Democratic administration has been charged from all sides like this in recent memory...and so sometimes we have to step back a bit and try to do a little mega analysis - figure out what the big picture is - how come all of a sudden the MSM have all these different versions of the talking points in question, as well as internal memos from the Department of State, how come all of a sudden the IRS is apologizing for inappropriately investigating conservative groups, and then today we find out this was known to IRS since 2011, before the last campaign - and why is the MSM all of a sudden so interesting in these stories - it was apparently the AP which released today's IRS bombshell - who's trying to sink who??? - well, Obama is certainly the one who seems most damaged overall by these revelations. but then he was just reelected and can't run again, so maybe he's expendable - maybe the 'rat thugs and their MSM henchmen have decided to throw him under the bus this time, as a distraction and scape goat to save the a$$ of whom they want to elect in 2016, Hillary - yeah, that gets my vote.....

Yeah, come on survivors, speak up! Geez - you owe it to the 4 dead Americans and their families. You owe it to the brave people who saved you. Perhaps you can prevent this from happening again.

” I’d give almost anything to know what was said.”

I think I know what was said. “OK guys this is how we want you to spin this “.

“I’d give almost anything to know what was said. “

Here is what I think happened: They gathered privileged “journalists” for a secret presser in which the admin laid out the talking points for how they want this reported in the coming days.

Those reporters who follow the dictate will be rewarded with future interviews, access to interviews, first source insider information, jobs in different departments or in the administration or future administrations.

Those who don’t follow the talking points will be punished, black listed and revenge will be taken against them in terms of denied access, or not being hired for future jobs.

Or their pets will mysteriously disappear and their tires will be slashed.

It is Obama’s Stalinist ways pure and simple.

The cracks are starting—this is death my a 1000 cuts—It will go back and forth, with new revelations to come as well as new scandals that are almost unknown today. Its like that old story of Brear Rabbit and the Tar Baby. The more Obama fights the more stuck he gets. watch for the revelations to start as people—little people—come forth with new data. Its sad really—but sadder still that such a man was placed into a position of power by the very media who will unseat him.

I don't know. Maybe.

I still do not trust the "news" media. Maybe their feelings are hurt because they trusted zero and selected him to be their anointed boy-king and he has let them down. They may cut bait on him, but to me, I wouldn't let them off. The media need to know we hold them responsible just as much as we do zero.

If they turn on zero and do Watergate-style investigative journalism on him, so what? They are just as responsible for the mess we are in for helping him, for covering for him; for going after conservatives/Repubs with doctored videos, un-reported stories, and publishing DNC talking points as straight news stories.

I think they are just letting zero know that they don't like being left hanging and he needs to give them something to CYA for themselves. Once he does that, it'll be all unicorns and rainbows again for the "news" media.

He NEVER actually answered the very first question! “When did the White House learn of the IRS’ targeting of Tea Party Groups? NEVER ANWERED. He said “we certainly know about it” then changed the subject and no one called him on it. They haven’t changed a bit!

“.....,but they work at the NSC on foreign policy issues directly related to Benghazi.”....”

Maybe its this above piece that is the problem; the “siblings working @ the w.h.” has come out in a couple other articles.

I too am doubtful about any road to damascus moment for the press. Now we find news corprations related to the administration....blood is thicker than water. However, The Blaze has been calling them out for weeks and months on this. I have to hand it to Glenn... his sources have been truthful and he has been leading this. The youth and the truth behind The Blaze is a big smack across the face of aging hippie communists everywhere. True debate, reason and agreeing to disagree on his show. Rush should free himself from the media plantation as well.
