State-Controlled Media: Is Obama Preventing Actual Reporters From Covering The White House?
By Warner Todd Huston
On May 20, ABC’s Jake Tapper asked a few salient questions about coverage of an April 27 incident at the White House basketball court, a sort of event after the event that the White House press corps was barred from covering. Tapper wondered then why the president barred the press but it later became clear that Team Obama was creating its own little media report “complete with cuts, interviews, and chyrons identifying who’s speaking.”
Tapper subtly warned that the president’s penchant for controlling the message smacks of an Obama Ministry of Propaganda styled effort that excludes “actual reporters” from covering the White House and leaves the country with faux news that is free of any “uncomfortable questions” asked by probing journalists.

The press is learning that no good deed goes unpunished with this administration.
Fawning praise is not enough any longer.
Soon, they will be left out of EVERY truly important meeting and fed scraps. They will vie for real news, promising favorable reporting as long as ‘their’ story is chosen to be allowed. These sick bastards have no idea the Hell they have volunteered to enter. Like a person that is being black-mailed, it will only get worse for them as long as they tow the Obama line. They need to break out and RAIL against him to have any effect on him anymore.
They won’t do this, and so will be lap-dogs, boot-lickers, media-slaves in reality, whereas before, they were merely willing fan-boys.
I wonder if this is how the press was first handled with the Stalin administration?
Well I think this may fit under the definition of “Hope & Change”.
Along these lines, there was this letter:
A Letter to Rupert Murdoch on the Obama Birth Certificate Question

They were USEFUL IDIOTS that no longer serve his purpose.
What “actual reporters”? I have not seen a whole lot of MSM “actual reporters” the last two years. I have seen a lot of “love struck reporters” hanging around his campaign and they are now sitting at the feet of “their” leader and adoring and swooning for him. But “actual reporters”? No I don’t think so. Besides journalism schools don’t turn out reporters anymore. They turn out walking zombies who have been indoctrinated in ultra liberal, America hating classrooms by hippies from the 60’s. They have no clue how to “report” on anything. They just opine and act like reporters. Bunch of ass wipes!
I saw the vid-clip of the hoop game and if memory serves, Obama never missed a shot.
The media is on the receiving end of the Monica Lewinsky treatment. Obama mounts the United States media and rides them home.
They are whore clowns! Nothing more.
They helped buy the ticket…now they get to take the ride!
Hopefully the dems will wake up to who this guy is.
Even their prostrating will not be good enough.
White people are going to have to wake up the soonest.
This is a angry psuedo black man, who hates white people.
Bunch of fellators. They had best learn how to swirl the tongue and acquire a taste for salty…
I have zero respect for the journalism profession. At least the “working ladies” are more honest about what they are about.
WTF are “actual reporters”?
Fucking National Enquirer has more cred than the ‘White House Press Corps’.
